[QUOTE="Max Warasila, post: 12054, member: 3845"] I've been experimenting lately with a lot of different ways to approach tuning systems. By no means do I know what I'm doing yet, but I've had been able to get at least decent results so far. One of the particular things I've been doing has been searching for and gently removing room modes that are particularly offensive. I know I wrote "notching" above, but I prefer using a high Q parametric to bring it down just enough to prevent it from going nuts in the space. I'm curious, though, if there is a particular range that is worth doing more than other parts of the frequency spectrum (Ivan, if you respond - I know it depends on the room size :)), or if there are certain cutoff points which you don't bother with. So far, I've found that most modes over 1k are hopeless to try to find and avoid, and that below about 120Hz, removing them messes with too much of the frequency content down low, meaning I have to turn everything else around it up to compensate, if only a few dB. Thoughts? I'm open to criticism of the process too, I was told about it a while back by someone who I worked with briefly on a one-off, so I'm not too attached to it. [/QUOTE]
