ELP71 Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 Better off using quality headphones until the room is tuned? I'm thinking so as my mixes have turned awful. I'm doing pretty much sample-based recording (orchestral, etc). Any thoughts? Weasels ripped my flesh. Rzzzzzzz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

linwood Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 Do yourself a favor and buy some sort of room treatment package. I know, it's really hard to spend money on something that doesn't make noise. In the house that I'm in now, I work out of a bedroom. It's 12x15. I bought RealTraps for it and I'm so happy with them. They were really easy to put up. Just like hanging a picture on the wall, but best of all..they work! Plus, I'm moving in May and I can take them down,undamaged, and put them in my new room. Very cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanS Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 Spend some time at Ethan Winer's forum.You may find your room is treatable with a minimum of cash outlay. I built some nice bass traps to his specs for about $60/ea and they really suck the boominess out of my room.Check out Markertek.com's cheap 'house' foam as well. Their blade tiles are a pretty good deal. What we record in life, echoes in eternity.

kanker. Posted January 25, 2006 Share Posted January 25, 2006 Short term, you can always get some cardboard boxes, stuff them with paper and put them in the corners. Otherwise, get the room treated, get your monitors further away from the wall, and if you have a desk between you and your monitors, get a piece of foam or something like that to cover the desk/console to minimize comb filtering. A ROMpler is just a polyphonic turntable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
