Acoustic help for odd shaped room

Hi Guys, I have searched the forums but really need some help on my room setup and panel placement as the room is odd..

My studio is situated on the second floor of a open plan loft apartment. The entire room is 3m x 7m...however the studio is on the second floor which is 3 x 3.5m all open plan.

I am following the 38% rule and my speakers are set up correctly firing down the long part of the room.

Now the strange part.....the roof is thatched grass upstairs and angled from 1.4m to 7m....

So if I am sitting roughly halfway between 3m wall ...to my right is the highest part of the ceiling going up to 7m and angled all the way down to 2m on the left side...

Hope this makes sense...

Any help on listening position and especially panel placements...is greatly appreciated...

You would need to test the frequency to find the best seating spot, but for the ceiling I would just put panels above you to take out the reflections from it.

That's where your head should be, and it's just a starting point. You may have to move forward or back a bit to find the best spot.
