I've recently undertaken the task of building some bass traps and broadband absorbers. So far, I've completed 1 of the 'studiotips superchunk' bass traps and was anxious to see what differences I would see. Well, it wasn't much. It tamed one dip, but not at a frequency I was expecting. I don't see anything going on below 80Hz where I was most hoping to see some improvement.
I still have 2 more of these to install in the corners, followed by some additional trapping in strategic spots. However, just wanted to get some opinions on what I'm seeing so far.
Here is the graph prior to the treatment:

Here is the graph with this first trap in place:

You can see a dip at about 110hz was tamed noticably, but nothing really happened at any lower frequencies. I can't seem to find the results I'd seen earlier, but I was certain these traps were effective at <100 frequencies.
I might just be jumping the gun - this is only the first very small portion of my treatment, but I was just surprised that the low end did not budge at all.
Thoughts?
I'll post some more graphs as I move forward. By the way - is there a way to show my before and after plot on the same graph? I couldn't find the option to do so..
Thanks,
Jeff
