I decided it is finally time to take the advice of this entire board and treat my room before upgrading any of my other recording chain. I've been skimming this forum for advice, but most of the info goes way over my head. If possible, I'm interested in the basic idea of what I need in my room to treat it: how many bass traps and where, etc. The room is very small with a plywood floor. These are the dimensions:

8'5" x 9' 2", 7' 2" high.

I am likely going to end up doing this extremely budget (i.e. homemade stuff with Owens Corning rather than professionally made bass traps, etc). I assume there is more to it than just covering all the walls in fiberglass, however, so anyone who can steer me in the right direction would be helping me a ton. Thanks!
