My problem is my room accoustics were so bad you could not even get creative..... got a fantastic bassline... sounding great. leave the room and come back and sit in a slightly different position and it now sounds really really bad. Peaks and nulls in one position much worse than a foot next to it.
Choice of monitors would not have fixed this problem of constructive and destructive interferance in the air around my ears. All the electronics in the world still wont change the way sound waves behaive in the air.
My production experience is never going to improve if I cant trust what I hear in my ears so saying to work on skill level first is not a solution as you advise.
I am not looking for a comlpetely treated room, and I also dont want a dead room..... But... I have done frequency response analysis of my room and I am getting massive nulls and peaks in the bass area... in some positions up to 18db reduction which is quite a substantial loss of energy in the sound.
Everyones room and set up is comlpetely different, and if you could hear my room you might change your opinion, but I can only try and give some light treatment to try and tame some of it and it is already starting to sound better. The smaller the room the worse the problem becomes. And my 2x2m box is terrible.
