Standing Waves. In your
home studio, tuning your room can often pose a problem for you. Standing
waves
occur
when low frequencies bounce around in a room and run into each other. To
find out if you suffer from this problem in your studio, put on one of
your favorite store-bought CDs and play it through your near-field monitors.
Lean back and forth in the chair, listening to the low end. Does the sound
change? Get up and walk around the room, still listening. Are there areas
where the bass seems to double in intensity – and areas where the low end
seems to disappear altogether? If it does, then you have a case of standing
waves.
