The other problem is that you have no way to test it really, other than building them all and shooting the room and hoping for the best. That's a lot of work for something that might not work at all.
Now, you could use blankets and stuff to bring down the reverb time, but keeping the right room character and maintaining and even decay time is tough. On the cheap, the most you can really do is put some blankets up, try the room, then move stuff around/add other stuff as necessary.
Sorry...I know those aren't the answers you want.

No, no, thats what I'm after.. Even though I kinda knew that it already its helpful to have it reiterated. I had though it would by easiy enough to establish what the density of the wool is by measuring and weighing, but I hadn't considered the fact tha it needed to be even/ consistent throughout. so absicly using the wool will be hit and miss, but as I have some I might as well give it a crack. Will give the studio a nice shearing shed aroma too.. (without the sheep shit of course)
