As in, get some big bookshelves and fill them up with stuff, to break up those standing waves that are allowing that low mid junk to linger and the harmonics of it to poke out.

The key word in the previous is "linger." With standing waves, those frequencies are still around after the other frequencies have evenly decayed. You can hear this happening pretty clearly in the recording.

With room issues like this, you'll never hear them if you're playing back on speakers in the same room. The logic behind this should be pretty obvious.

Great response , I’d like to show somebody my room and give me some tips on what to do to make it more acoustically suitable. I understand what your saying I just don’t know where to start

4" thick compressed fibreglass or rockwool (OC703, Roxul) panels - in corners, on side walls, in front of the mic, behind you. For home recording, as many as you can afford/build/buy and fit in the room. Are you setting up with a desk or table in front of you? That hard surface is reflecting soundwaves too - every hard surface does. You need to tame those reflections.
