Compression question...

Here's a really cheap solution to your problem, that is, bass travelling through the wooden desk. Go to your local DIY/garden store & buy 2 small concrete paving slabs, big enough to fit your speakers on then buy 2 cheap mouse mats. Put the slabs on the desk then put the mats on top then put the speakers on top of them. The mats help absorb the freqs & stop you scratching the bottom of your speakers. They also make it easy to swivel them around to get the sweet spot. I guarantee there will be less boom in your room & the bass will be punchier as it does'nt travel to well through concrete. You can also paint them to fit in the studio colour scheme. The whole thing should be around $10.

Thanks Berni..
I'll try that...

Trust me bro it works...I've had my mackie hr824's on a couple of 2" thick pavers for years, makes a big difference on my set up. The crystal skulls on top are an optional extra ; )

:P

Nice....I like the skull
I'll definitely try this out...
The slab u are using looks quite thin....
would a marble slab work too ??


thanks

Like I said there 2" thick and do the job...I can't see any reason why marble would'nt work...just a lot more expensive thats all. Mine where $2 each from home depot & I just primed & painted them purple to match my studio.

Hi..
so I picked up 2 marble tiles today...about an inch thick ...just trying it out ...I think it sound better...a little cleaner and tighter bottom end...I'm gonna need to do some mixes now to see how much the tiles help...maybe I will need thicker tiles to achieve an even better result..
Anyway....Thank you for the Idea....I think it will definitely help me with my problem...

No problem man, even though you are not actually following the instructions ; ) Hope it works out.
