When things still aren’t right, what do you do next? I suggest giving Reference 4 by Sonarworks a try. The truth is you can only achieve so much with absorption, diffusion and speaker/listening position adjustments. Then there is the problem of parallel walls and the standing waves that result. But rooms designed for living (as opposed to mixing) are never symmetrical and typically have windows, doors or closets that interfere. Symmetry in control room design is essential to insure balanced reflections on the left and right and achieve a true stereo image. So we spend time and money installing bass traps, acoustic panels and diffusers to ameliorate the interior structural flaws. One of the main problems with home project studios is that they are rarely ideal architectural designs in terms of acoustics. This is a subject every audio engineer with a home studio grapples with. In it, I described the need for a combination of absorption, diffusion, optimum speaker placement and listening position, DIY alternatives and other concerns. Last July I posted an article called How to Improve Acoustics in Your Home Studio.
