I managed to procure some free high density rockwool from the site im running, and im going to make some bass traps with them...
Before i do; do they work? Do they really balance the low end reactions of a room as well as everyone makes out?

No, it will not help you in the low end. It´s a complex topic! I dont even have a link or anything that can help you.MINIMALTECHNOHOUSE wrote:I managed to procure some free high density rockwool from the site im running, and im going to make some bass traps with them...

I find A & C bass notes are really lacking in power in my "studio" (the spare room lol)
But Gs are super deep.....
The thing is, when i bounce something down, and listen to it in my car or whatever, the Gs are quite and the As really loud..!
Also, since moving my gear in there, i find it really fatiguing to mix anything at anything but the lowest levels....
Sooooo, i reckon a broadband bass trap will do the trick, im going to make like 6, 4 room height fuckers (about 2600mm), and a few 1000 x 6000mm
units too.... all 100mm (4") thick....
Ive seen some nice fabric in Ikea to cover them too, proper arts and crafts stylee.....

nononononononononono!
Im talking DIY son! the "sheets" are just high spec house insulation, available form any reputable builders merchant...
"broadband" simply refers to the fact that they're meant to flatten the resonance of a wide range of frequency's!
It looks like you just gotta frame some insulation, cover it with fabric to make it look nice and place them in the corners of your room and / or behind your monitors.....
Has anyone actually made any? ive got a pile of insulation about 8 foot tall in my hall, ill be gutted if its all a blag!
