RE: [motm] Testing your studio

Those are some pretty expensive bass traps!  I ordered some MiniTraps from 
RealTraps.com today.  I'll let you all know how it works out.  I was 
impressed with what I have read on recording.org forum on studio and 
control room acoustics and had some nice email exchanges with Ethan, the 
head of RealTraps.com before ordering.  So far, so good.
