Low frequencies - headphone and monitors

[thomas]

I've always been struggeling with low frequencies. I'm curoius how you guy's do that.

I have a small studio room and the bass sounds different every time i move my head a few inches. So I can make it sounds perfect in one spot, but not so good if I move my head or go stand somewhere else.This offcourse is quite normal cause of cancellation from the reflextions. I actually use this to check if there are abnormal frequencies in the low.

Because I have neighbors I can't work on high volume, so I do a check on headphone. The difference is so great everytime I switch from speakers to headphone. When I make a good bass on the monitors, then on headphone it lacks that sub bass (compared to commercial track). When I make it sound good on headphone it usually sucks on the monitors -> to muddy.

I probably need to be somewhere inbetween.

How do you guy's work when it comes to the low frequencies?
