swimtwobirds, 5 March 2017Our basement studio consists of a control room and a larger live room. We’re fairly experienced recordists, although not full-timers. Here’s a record we just did (it was…
Soundman2020, 7 March 2017Hi there "swimtwobirds", and Welcome! :) OK, no problem with that! So this is purely "treat the place as well as possible, within the limitations imposed by the current…
swimtwobirds, 9 March 2017Thank you so much, this is extraordinarily helpful. Based on this feedback, I think it makes the most sense to break this work into two phases. Phase 1 Remove…
Soundman2020, 5 July 2017Before you can start with room treatment, you first need to fix the rather large difference between your speakers! The graph below shows just that: the difference in SPL…
swimtwobirds, 5 July 2017Hmm. The placement was verified with a laser tape measure. Would the "L" shape of the room account for the asymmetry? As noted above, we'd discussed putting a wall in to…
swimtwobirds, 29 December 2017Update: I've pulled the carpet from the room and constructed the wall to create an actual rectangle instead of the awkward L shaped space. I've updated the Sketchup file…
Soundman2020, 29 December 2017Much, MUCH better than your original! Day and night difference. Considering the size of the room, that's actually a very decent response, and it can probably be tamed…

Soundman2020, 1 January 2018I'm curious about your sub: It's not doing much "subing" (to invent a new term....). It has a ten inch driver, it has a bass-reflex type sub, and the manual and specs…
swimtwobirds, 2 January 2018Sorry if I wasn't clear, that photo was mostly to demonstrate basic room orientation after we pulled the carpet & shelving etc out--not actual measured speaker/mic…
Soundman2020, 2 January 2018I graphed that, and although it explains some of the roll off, it doesn't match the actual performance you measured in your room either: Image not preserved:…
swimtwobirds, 31 January 2018I tried eliminating the Central Station from the chain but this didn't do anything. I also tried different cables between the central station and the subwoofer. No…
Soundman2020, 13 February 2018I would keep trying at that, until you figure it our: something is inserting a fairly steep filter in your signal path. Try it with a totally different laptop computer,…
