The problem I am trying to fix is one that I didn't know I had. My mixes are always inaccurate on the low end. As such, its my habit to drop a test mix onto a SD card and run out to the car to listen. The car tells me where the problems are. Then I run back inside and adjust. This repeats about 7 (or more) times per mix. A guest producer here from Belgium was saddened by my process and suggested that I need bass traps to clean up the bass sound in my muddy cement box of a studio. He put 4 of the Hofa's in his room; 1 in each corner. I will watch the video and do some more research. I have the basic "home studio kit" from Hofa coming to me now. https://www.thomann.de/intl/is/hofa_home_studio_bundle_orange.htm I don't want or need a totally dead, anechoic chamber type room. The bass trap idea has been suggested to try and improve the speed of production, from idea to finished premaster L+R mix. Will use what comes from Hofa first and then add things if I need them. The suggestion of self making absorption panels is a good one. Thats how I will proceed after this initial "fancy gear" purchase. Thank you all, for the excellent advice and tips.
