Yet another acoustics question.

[allbaldo]

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.

My room is midrange hell, and I'm trying to address it.

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:

Good advice so far.

Tell us more about your room.... dimensions? Materials? Placement of audio gear/speakers etc?

Can you elaborate on what "midrange hell" means to you?

I'm going to make some measurements of my rooms, which may help this. Thanks for the responses, and I'll have them soon!
