I recently moved into a new place and setup the studio into a bigger room than I had before. After everything was setup I fired up some mixes to compare how the monitors were in the new space and found I still had the same ~140hz boomyness that I had in the old room.
After a little googling, I found this was due to the ceiling height and how the speakers are positioned on the vertical axis which explains why I had the same issue as both ceiling and monitor height is the same between each room.
I couldn't find much in the way of fixes for this. What I normally do is stick an EQ on the mix bus that attempts to null out the 140hz while I mix and then I turn this off before mix down. However I wouldn' mind trying to make up some baffles or some other ideas instead of trying to fix with EQ. Does anyone have any ideas on how I should combat this?
I know GDIY is not exactly the right place for this kind of thing, but I'm curious to hear your thoughts.
