Can you help get my room acoustically ready for a studio??

[Timbo8921]

Hey guys!
I have just gotten a 10,000 dollar loan for my studio (from a rich friend who has a lot of faith in me, so 0% interest). I really need help setting up my room. However, I will only be able to spend 1500.00 on it. I am willing to make any bass dampeners etc. I can. The room is 10' x 16' x 6'11". It has Vinyl flooring, wood paneling for the walls, and tile ceilings. I will have no furniture in there, the control room will be in a separate room. I have attached a picture. keep in mind, this is taken before the furniture was taken out.

Thank you!

I have read these books and documents:

1. QRDude user manual
2. F. Alton Everest- Studio construction on a budget
3. F. Alton Everest - Master handbook of Acoustics
4. Rod Gervais - Home Recording Studio: Build it like the Pros
5. Mitch Gallagher - Acoustic Design for the Home Studio

Auralex will also give you a free consultation after you send them the appropriate diagrams of your room. They will suggest which Auralex products to use (obviously.)

Also, is that right? A 6' 11" ceiling? You'll have issues about using overhead mics and tall people.

This was in my thread below (1D and 2D diffusors). The links are active in that thread.

Some great references on the topic:
