GIK Acoustics: Essentials for Small Rooms 🎶

http://www.gikacoustics.com

Most of us are in smaller, residential listening spaces which are on average 12ft X 15ft X 8ft in size. We usually have problems with the lower end or bass frequencies in these types of rooms due to bass frequencies being longer and more powerful than treble frequencies.

Acoustic treatment like bass trapping can correct issues with the lower end, as well as somewhat the mid or higher end without making it sound too dead if it's broadband bass trapping.

You may also want to add some diffusion into your room setup, usually on the back wall or near the tracking area. Diffusion will help with comb filtering, and flutter and slap echo, and it can also help with making your recordings sound more spacious.
