Bass Traps. Once
you have discovered that you have standing waves in your recording space
(and
don’t
worry if
you do – most of us have them) there are definitive things that you can
do to ameliorate this acoustical effect. Companies such as Auralex make
acoustical treatments for small studios as well as large. One product is
what’s known in the business as a Bass Trap. These are designed to literally
‘Trap’ the low frequencies that are bouncing around and causing all the
headaches. As you won’t be able to fix every area where standing waves
occur, you will really need to pay careful attention to the critical areas
only. For this of us on a budget, the corners behind you when you are mixing
are the primary spot for a pair of bass traps.
