Seating distance to monitors?

I think hearing the subbass isnt that important as long as you keep an eye on a visualizer.

Hearing the sub bass(well, more so, feeling) is extremely important. It's pretty difficult to hear a sub obviously, since they are not as audible as anything higher in the frequency scale, but you can still get an idea if something is lacking power/enough sub by listening. A visualiser is definitely a great for subs, but it should only be there to help adjust the levels, rather than you basing the sub level entirely on the visualiser. Also, the best way to test the sub, is, like with many things, trying it on many different systems.

Never ever create a sound on sight, if you don't know sure if you've got the sound right, just slide your chair a meter or 2 backwords and listen..

I mean its not only the hearing

Yes it is. Lets say: even though your kick might visually be fcking awesome, but it sounds like shit, would you use it?

That also doesn't fit on my "moral". I say: it is not only the hearing. So I wouldn't take something that looks just fancy in the visualizer, it has to sound good. But for checking the subbass you can use the analyzer too, if you can't hear it properly.

If you can't hear it properly (and we're getting back at the first one ) move your chair around, or walk around in your studio until you hear it. :')

I'm using the triangle position, but in my case is my quite small room the problem, it's acoustic characteristics are just terrible :rofl

Same here with the small room, someone know a good guide about how to fix the acoustic in small rooms?

if u Have Corners Behind ur Monitors just Fix The Corners And the Wall Behind them with Acoustic foam.
Thats what the Music Store Guy in our Biggest music Store in Vienna said.
Fix Corners he said .....

Look in to acoustic theory and you'll be able to do it yourself

It's not always as simple as "just put foam behind it", because it still doesn't always address the issue at hand.

But the problems with longer distances is that the listener will get less of a direct sound and more reflections from the listening environment. Distances that are fractions of the 'optimum' distance of the desired frequencies can work too, ie: 1/2 or even 1/4.

Sitting 17m from your monitors is simply not practical. I prefer 1.5 - 2m.

ah now this is interesting i didn't know things like this
