Homemade bass traps?

[DJ Synner]

Who can give me some good techniques for bass traps? Ones that really work. I've been putting it off for ages, but my room really needs it.

see this Steven P. Helm: DIY Bass Traps

and this The Recording Manual down the right hand side - read it all and you will be better informed about what you need to do to fix your problems

Yeah, I built 4 last month. Mineral Wool I think is what the material is called. Its like insulation but not as bad for you. Its dirt cheap to. I just nailed some 2x4's into a rectangle and placed the wool inside. Then I stapled bed sheets around it. Support beams are needed on the back. They work SO WELL. I could tell a difference in my guitar and vocal tracks instantly. No unwanted noise, smooth, and clear. Especially bass guitar! I leave them sitting on the wall when not recording with them just to make everything sound good. When I record with them I place them around an amp and then place sheets around it.
