Unless you’re mixing your music in an open field, mixing with headphones, or have thick absorbers in your studio, there’s a good chance that there’s a ridiculous difference in levels of various frequencies in your studio, especially the bass ones. IK Multimedia just released iLoud Sub – it attempts to solve this problem, while also adding room correction to your existing speakers while also supplementing their bass – but does it actually work well?
