Bass traps for small recording space

I posted about this earlier today but I can't find the post now.

My recording room is only about 11 X 11.

I have 4" bass traps made from mineral wool and enough denim insulation to make super chunk bass traps. My recording space will be a small room. Should I put super chunk traps in the vertical corners and the mineral wool traps in the lateral corners where the ceiling meets the wall? Should I put extra bass traps on the ceiling since the room is small??

And is it best to sit with my back to the bass trapped corner to avoid room nodes when recording acoustic guitar so I'm not in the center of the room??

id say your off to a good start.

there is a calculator i found (which of corse i have no idea now...)

but if your good at math...

69-70HZ = 16ft.

so if your room is 11ft square.

it seems like the freqs u need to worry about will be in the low hundreds.
