glad I found this thread. I was about to buy a pair of these shelves to put in on the back walls of my control room:
Spine Wall Shelf | west elm
I loved the idea because I need more storage space for books, records, etc...so I figured these would kill two birds with one stone. I thought wrong.
My biggest issue right now is that I'm trying to find something that is multi-functional. I'm trying to avoid covering valuable wall space that could be used for additional storage/shelving with diffusers that help the sound but don't help when it comes to giving me additional storage.
My control room is about 16ft L x 14ft W x 8.5ft H. The front half of the room has an angled ceiling that has absorption built into it.
PROBLEM: I have a weird hi end flutter/flange type thing going on that I can hear in certain parts of the room when I clap. It's really bright and almost sounds tin-like. My ears were directed right away to the metal on the track lighting. Almost sounded like the lights were resonating, but I don't think that was the issue. I picked up 4 T-fusors and threw them on the ceiling tonight and they definitely helped, but didn't fix the issue. Feel like I'll have to buy another couple sets of four t-fusors to actually solve this problem and improve the rooms over all sound. Maybe I should look into some sort of mix cloud that absorbs rather than trying to install diffusors? I feel like there is already plenty of absorption going on in the room.
I attached a few pics to hopefully help explain the situation. The one with the white walls is the room with the previous tenants gear in it before I signed the lease. The picture with blue walls is the newly painted room.
Any advice anyone has would be much appreciated.

Side view of room where you can see half the room/ceiling is treated and angled down and the other half is normal (I do not have any ceiling treatment up yet like the previous tenant did in this photo):
