Finally built a proper corner bass trap in my 10x12 shed and the low end quit fighting me
For about a year I just had two cheap foam panels pushed into the corners behind my desk, and my mixes kept coming out thin because I couldn't hear what the low end was actually doing. Two weeks ago I finally built real corner traps using Rockwool Safe'n'Sound stacked in wood frames, about $70 total at the hardware store here in Boise. The difference in my little 10x12 shed is nuts, I can actually hear where the kick sits now instead of guessing. If you've got a small room, did you go floor to ceiling with your corner treatment or just the top half? Curious what worked for other folks in tight spaces.

Man, floor to ceiling all the way if you can swing the materials. I did just the top half first in my old 11x13 room and it helped some but the low end was still muddy down near the floor, those corners trap bass at every height. Once I stacked them full height the difference was night and day, kick and bass finally sat in their own space. In a shed that small you're gonna get a lot of bang from those corners so it's worth the extra wool. Only thing I'd say is don't forget the corners behind your listening spot too, not just the front ones.
