okay, so in my new place i have a spare room which i intend to turn into a small home mix space. i don't have dimensions of the place just yet, but for the sake of argument, it's a pretty standard bedroom scenario.

nearly square... maybe a foot or three difference in the lengths of the walls (i will update with proper dimensions asap). the trick here is the ceiling. it's vaulted. i don't know if this is good or bad, but from my limited knowledge and understanding it leads me to think this could be good. the ceiling is vaulted at approximately a 35-45 degree angle to the walls (again this is just my estimate from the initial visual inspection). there is also a closet at the back of the room that i'm not planning to use.

here come the questions. my first order of business is bass trapping. i am making corner traps for the wall to wall corners from floor to ceiling. in a normal room i was also going to do corner traps for the wall to ceiling corners, but since the ceiling is vaulted, a standard 90 degree corner trap wouldn't work. so question 1, do i need to treat the wall to ceiling corners at all? or would i be better off treating the floor to wall corners with the additional corner traps and leaving the wall to ceiling corners untreated.

question 2, because the ceiling is vaulted, would i need a cloud over the mix position? the floor is carpeted with relatively thick and plush carpet.

question 4, if i take the doors off the closet on the back wall, that would extend the length of the room by at least another 3 feet. is this advisable? and if so, do i need to make another set of corner traps for the inside of the closet? or would i be better off leaving the closet doors on.

and finally, in general, what is the best way to handle treating a vaulted ceiling?

next chance i get, i will take some measurements of the empty room and try to draw up a diagram and update this thread.

thanks all for reading and sharing your expertise. i appreciate it more than you can ever imagine.
