acoustic treatment

[Junkie]

Hi, im converting an old cellar into a commercial studioand need some help concerning the acoustics, the height of the live room will be approximately 6'5" at its heighest point (it has a concave ceiling so slopes down towards either side like the roof of an old tunnel) then about 10 x 10 feet in length, it has to be de-humidfied and plaster boards will be put up as walls.
What are the acoustical problems i should be looking out for the most and what will the best solution be for it? I have basic acoustic knowledge but have never really applied it in a real life situation.
I was thinking that because the ceiling was not parallel to the floor then standing waves would not be so much a problem, but because it is still fairly low flutter may be a problem? So would it be best to use diffusors or absorbtion?

Thanks

This is a problem because that shape focuses sound. That kind of focusing is the opposite of diffusion, which would be good.

Everything you need is right here:

It's a fair amount to read, but it's all in plain English. Better still, there's no math.
