[owen252]

Hi guys this is my first post here so sorry if i have done anything wrong.

Heres the problem, i record a podcast weekly and am looking to get better sound in my room for better monitoring. I know this isnt a dj forum but i thought u guys might be able to help out. i've read that auralex is the best stuff? do i get pyramids or wedges ? what size? and where is best to put it? i have problems picking out the bass in my headphones from the bass round the room, but in studios i've been in i have no problems at all, can any1 explain why?

here is the pics of my room

A cheaper and more effective approach to foam would be constructing DIY Bass Absorbers with Owens Corning 703 or Rockwool in the 4-8lbs flavors. A supper cheap but effective bass absorption method would be to fill all of your corners with Roxul AFBs and cover with a breathable fabric.

The corners should be your priority for attacking bass issues. From the pictures of your room it looks like you have some doorways the and equipment that will prevent your from treating all of your vertical corners, so you may need to get a little more inventive and treat the horizontal corners between the floors and ceiling.
