Thanks for all your helps guys. I think I can at least start putting together some acoustic treatment for this room. I'll probably just get some 703 and try a few different things, maybe start by putting it in the corners, see how that works, and maybe try building flames and making the membrane traps as shown on ethan's site.

By the way, Ethan, I watched the product videos on the RealTraps site, very nice job! A lot of great information and a lot of fun to watch!

As for the "Foam By Mail" or "Foam Factory" as I think they're called on ebay, I had a bad experience with them a few years back. I ordered "Beige" colored foam as they called it, which turned out to really be "Pink" colored foam. Then, after being up on the wall for a few months, parts of the foam began to change color, (due to lighting conditions, no doubt"). According to their site, their foam "does not change color over time", and when I called them on this, they basically just told me to screw off, and offered no chance to return or exchange they foam. Besides this, the stuff is nowhere near as dense as Auralex, which they claim to be. I'll stop my ranting now, just thought I'd share a bad experience with some dishonest business folks.
