I've been doing a bit of recording recently after a while away and I've realised that my new(ish) room might need some acoustic attention. One of the main things I've noticed is that A notes on bass and guitar resonate very unpleasantly.
Because it's not a standard square room I don't really know where to start.
Do I start with bass traps and where do I put them if so?
Or will some square panels on the brick wall behind the monitors, on the back wall and directly to the sides of the desk do the job?
Ideally I don't want to spend a massive amount.
I appreciate that it will likely take a bit of trial and error but I just need a decent starting point.
Here's a pretty crude mock up of the space with the back wall and ceiling taken out:
Thanks in advance

Panels you can DIY with plywood, rockwool (the acoustic type), and some fabric for way less than buying them.

There’s loads of really useful input in the thread from peeps on here who know a shed load more than I do.
What are the dimensions of the room?
I’ve edited the original post to fix the image, hopefully it works now.
So, what kind of product would you suggest for bass trapping? I have some moderate DIY capabilities so making something rudimentary isn’t out of the question if it’s the best option.
Also, I’ve taken some pictures of the actual room to hopefully give a better idea. Ignore the mess, the room is still very much a work in progress!
