My room is midrange hell, and I'm trying to address it. I know that all rooms need bass trapping, and I've heard that many times, bass trapping will actually help a room sound less midrange-y. Has anyone else experienced this?
I know this is a strange question, but I had to ask. Thanks!

i've got a pretty small room with 8' ceiling. i had the wonderful learning experience of recording a group of about 7 singers plus guitars before and after treating my room. There are definitely some midrange resonances present on the "before" recording that are less present on the "after."
I put 4" of 705 across the corners, and hung 2" of 703 about 9 inches below part of the ceiling for mid/hi absorbtion. I don't know how much of the improvement is owed to the corner traps vs. the cloud (for midrange anyway), but it did make a noticeable difference.

Re: Yet another acoustics question.
In that case you probably need more mid/high frequency absorption. This is especially important at the reflection points on the side walls and ceiling. Do you have treatment at those points? More here:allbaldo wrote:My room is midrange hell, and I'm trying to address it.
