How far can room treatments solve boomy bass?

IMHO modal issues affects both sound pressure and reverb
reducing modes with eq solve part of the problem
40hz too low for many traps
Gik tritrap not effective for me at 80hz or lower
monster trap extends much lower more effective
though able to counter bass peak and reverb at same time
bass trap can absorb too much at other freq
better to use tune bass trap or a combo of various traps
rpg traps very good

Scott,

Yeah, but then I'd have to do a bunch of housekeeping...guess I could do that :-)

I've had some success in using GIK Acoustic products, particularly their new Scopus tuned trap range in treating / solving boomy bass. I've made some observations on the topic in my blog HERE
