It is a common error for folks to put up deadening material all over a control room. The life gets sucked out of the room and it makes for:

1) An uncomfortable place to work

2) A shitty monitoring environment from an acoustical standpoint

Better to learn up on acoustics first, EVEN sound absorption at ALL frequencies is desirable, not just the high frequencies that foam crap can suck out of a room.. Getting even sound absorption at low mid & bass frequencies is a MUCH harder task..Foam alone wont do it, and you dont need the awful imbalance all foam use will cause you.

Good you asked, DONT DO IT!

You might find you put up a few squares of it in strategic places but covering the whole place = A 100% NO NO.
