I use the term bass trap loosely. I really have eight 4'x2'x6" owens corning 703 broadband absorption panels situated around the mixing position (2 in front wall tricorners. 2 on wall in front of me behind speakers, 2 at first reflections, and 2 immediately behind my head).

I also should say that this isn't my final resting spot, or else I would definitely install a wooden floor and a fake ceiling with 2 foot fiberglass all above it. That's not economical at this point, as I could move in a year.

So, my question really boils down to this more specific question:

Which would have more impact on my sound - additional mics, or additional broadband absorption panels, or spending money on cabling so I can situate my computers in the closet (removing a good bit of noise).

Sorry I didn't elaborate fully earlier. Should I still go with more broadband absorption. B/c I have to say, that MXL 67G is MUDDY, and it doesn't seem even eq can get it to properly cut through the mix.

Thanks!
