Some 14 months after starting I’ve finally reached the point where I can
listen to music in my new mix room only to discover that all the bass has
escaped.
Well, not quite escaped, more like emigrated to the back of the room
which, rather crucially, is not where I’d planned to sit. When I do take up
position in what I have calculated to be the mixing ‘sweet spot’ (marked with a
masking tape X on the floor) it’s almost as if I’ve suffered a catastrophic
crossover malfunction to the extent that I did at first believe the woofers had
blown. A quick walk around the room however clarified that all my low end was
simply gathering some 2 feet behind my carefully plotted position.
