well the subject line just says it all doesn't it?

Naw it's simple- what do you guys do add an "audible" tone to your standard heavy air-pushing, subby jungle sinewave type bassline?

I have an existing subbass patch that you can *feel* very well on a well-powered system but I want people w/ lesser systems/headphones/laptop speakers to be able to *hear* it. It's also a little muddy in the mix but I think I need to roll-off the real low part that's just wasting energy (around 60-70 kHz?)

I know what I'd do but I'd like other opinions/solutions, please.

I've taken measures of the room, i'll have my missus draw it tonight (it'll be prettier that way

)

Ok, see what you mean about those switches, then it's no use cutting with the low end EQ either, wich is set at 80 Hz. I sequence with the xbase and my special technique wich i call "digital randomnization" wich consist of pressing keys with fingers in a numbskull fashion.

well, here's a quick map i did (ugly, i know). Of course , angles are all a lot smoother than that, it's all rounded plaster (it's an oldish building). The double room hole opens on our bed room, wich is bigger (about 2' more on the width and 2 more on the lenght) All walls, exept the 10' one (wich is cement), are covered with shelves and books

Those bass traps you show k, they seem to take on a lot of space. It's already prety crammed in here

so where do you sit/work/mix and where the gear and furniture etc? yeah it's not much space agreed, are the walls solid or plasterboard cavity etc? agreed, there's not alot of scope/space

Nope, it's just heavy curtains, no doors

oh i see, well thats ok cos you have a center hole i spose. tough one eh especialy as your speakers are kinda in the corners. i'd get rid of the bookshelf where it is, clear out both L/R sides , put the speakers on stands in front of the curtain, standing VERTICAL not as they are, sideways with the tweeters inside giving poor stereo image (if sideways at all tweeters should be outside cos they are directional and bass isnt) then add a couple of acoustic panels to the walls L/R of the mix area to break up reflections from sidewalls. I think you should get busy with some wood and make a proper work bench too to go across the room width in front of curtains then you'd have more space for the atari screens etc and as i say the speakers on stands, higher than they are now and vertical alignment

Also now the speakers are perched on a flimsy pile of books ffs!!!... arg! use a pile of bricks, or something else solid.... but stands, yes, mmmm... i can see it now

also perhaps remove the door and replace it so it opens out into the hall instead? you'd have more space in the room without the door intrusion
