I am in the process of moving house. My old 'studio' was about 13ft square and the new one is about 12ft by 9ft. In the old one I had plenty of acoustic tiles to dampen early reflections and a couple of corner bass traps. There was a big hole at 150Hz but other than that it was not too back when monitoring on my 10 inch Tannoy Monitor Golds. I always do a final mix check on headphones to make sure the bass is well balanced.
We are now in rented accommodation and my temporary studio is almost exactly the same size my new one will be. There is no acoustic treatment and absolutely no bass! Nothing wrong with the system because headphones sound fine. I am firing across the shorter side which may be part of the problem but I was surprised by how much the bass has disappeared.
I clearly need to address this before setting up my new studio in the new house but the question is what to do? I did not expect such a drastic change. Is there any way I can restore the bass response in a room this size?
Cheers
