I've had my studio in four different rooms over the years and from my experience room treatment is very helpful if you want to be able to hear and mix the low end frequencies properly during production. I've got quite a few bass traps around my current room from: http://www.gikacoustics.com/ Without them the bass is far too boomy in the room I'm in. -Stephen On 26 July 2018 at 13:09, DJ Maytag <xxxxxxxx@xxxxxxxx.xxx> wrote: > It depends on the goal of your studio.
