Music production in a loft space

In a nutshell, if your mixes sound trebbly in your room and bassy in your car, then you need to do some bass trapping friend.
Don't cheat your listeners!

basstrapping in a loft? the energy of his monitors is hardly enough to create standing waves in a factory hall...

the problem with big rooms is that bass energy just disapears..

That's right, bass traps prevent bass from disappearing. And if there are standing waves, there are standing waves, regardless of volume.
What I'm suggesting is that the OP use modular panels, like gobos, to create a mixing space within the room.
ie. the stands by the piano here:

Also, you might want to try playing with monitor placement in the room.
Try setting them up closer to a wall or turn the setup in the room 90 degrees. Try isolating them from the surface they're on.
There could be more at play than just the room itself.

To the op,

The only real good advice here is to get yourself on to gearslutz (also have a look at the SOS acoustics forum) and start reading.

Anyone giving you acoustic advice without knowing your room dimensions, listening position in relation to your room and so on isn't really going to give you good advice. However the person who said about moving your near fields closer maketh a fair bit of sense.

If you have a good size room and you can position yourself anywhere in the room then you could also check our stav's book mixing with your mind as tat has got some excellent stuff on speaker positioning and how to set up your rig so that it's giving you the best results. . .
But, also learn a little about acoustics n ti will pay you big dividends. You don't need to be a mathematician, it's all fairly simple stuff (at first).
