i’ve had it for ages. 10+ years. my dynaudio BM6a MK1s get pretty low but it’s nice to hear what’s going on in the rumble frequencies and there’s often an octave down there at 30hz or so in lot’s of bass stuff… or can be when making big bass things. i have the BM9s dynaudio sub. my room is pretty good. the ceiling is a little low but after some help from Giks many years ago figured out how to set up the listening position a lot better. i have a bunch of panels and bass traps. it’s pretty balanced. i have a little coleman audio passive switcher so i can add/remove the sub easily when mixing which is when i use it in a critical way.
i need all the help i can get when mixing and having a sub helps me. in a small room it’d be overkill and probably create more problems than it would solve. my room is 15x17 ft but it’s a basement and the ceiling is a bit lower than normal ceiling height.
moving the mix position further from the wall and a foot off center solved so many problems i was having w/low end.
panels are worth investing in even if just corner bass traps. i felt spoiled right away after getting panels… even just listening to music was a different experience. i love listening to well recorded/produced stuff in the studio. all the details come out.
That sounds great, kind of wish I had a proper room instead of a bedroom corner!
Maybe I’ll stick with the headphones for now. The 20hz shakers might be bad for the kids sleeping next door I guess
Will do. It’s a pretty big project so it’ll take some time. Right angle switches and pots are expensive too. I’ll post when I get them finished and calibrated.
I think a mix control is increasingly becoming de rigeur on modulation effect pedals. It makes them a lot more flexible/usable without going dry/wet or having to use a mixer send setup. I recently picked up a Jam Harmonious Monk because (apart from sounding great) having both depth and mix controls lets you dial in as much or as little of the effect as you want - super useful.
