What to do about a tin ceiling?

I just moved into a new place for my studio. It has great wooden floors but there is a tin ceiling in the control room. How should I set it up, especially with wooden floors? What should be diffused, what should be absorbed?

Nevel,

How big is your control room? A wood floor is great, and is usually complemented with an absorbent ceiling. But to offer anything more specific I'd need to know the size of your control room and especially the ceiling height.

Find a company that does acoustic treatment for ..like a factory or operation that has loud noisy machines. At my 1st job, we were a assembly plant in a big giant shed. The boss (then) had some guys come in over the weekend and SPRAY some goop on the (zinc?) walls and inside ceiling (zinc?). That took care of the major rattling.
