Are bass traps useful in a recording room?
Let’s talk bass traps and bass trapping in a home studio.
In particular for treating a recording room, to record drums for example.
Are they useful here as well?
Is there any difference in how you use them compared to a mixing room?
The short answer is: no.
Physics stays physics. So if you need low end control in a recording room, then bass traps are the obvious way to go.
But HOW you determine if you actually NEED low end control in a recording room is another matter.
And that’s where treating a recording room is fundamentally different from a mixing room.
Let me explain in this week’s video.
