Well, fuck me. You know, one thing that's annoyed the hell out of me for years is the fact I've always had to use a shovel when eq'ing the low mids/bass on heavy guitars. "Move the cabinet away from the walls, you dumb fuck!" Is going to be painted on my studio's entrace door tomorrow!!!
I just ran a battery of tests, & yep, works like a charm. The mush... my curse, my albatross, has been lifted!
In hindsight, this is something I should have been able to figure out on my own... years ago. I feel like such an idiot. For all the research I've done on acoustics when I built my studio..... uuuuuughhh. I've had my cab in a corner for the last two years!
What's really aggravating is the fact that on the very first project I did when I built my new place, we had the cab way up off the floor, out in the room & the guitar tone turned out great. Even with a busted 57 that I somehow overlooked. I guess laziness was part of it too, as I would have had to put the cab where I put my drums. (It's not the biggest room in the world, that's for sure) & moving the kit everytime would have been a major pain.
These days, I've moved my main drum postion & having a cab away from the walls is no big issue. One more piece of the puzzle comes into place!
Brett, thanks very much for bringing up this subject. I officially owe you a beer. BTW, do they still sell Pschitt Cola in France?
One last thing: Matt.... best of luck with your project! Looks like you've got the talent, gear & know how to make it happen... I can't wait to hear some samples!
