Treating a room with very high ceiling

[gainreduction]

Just moved my studio to a new space and am about to rip the previous owner's foam off the walls and start treating properly. The control room is about 3x4 meters with the sound hitting in the longer direction.

I have a pretty good idea about most of it but the thing that tricks me is the ceilings are very high, about 4 meters. My treatment idea reaches up to about 2,50-3 meters. Then what ? The ceiling itself is well treated with an "floating acoustic sub ceiling".

At the mixing position I'm going to put corner bass traps from Ghost acoustics right behind the speakers and complement with "supercunks" above and below so the corners are treated floor to ceiling with a commercial grade panel where it matters most, at speaker height.

The wall behind the speakers I'm planning on covering completely with rigid fiberglass in a framework, covered with fabric and maybe some nice wood panels here & there for the looks. Does this have to go all the way up to the ceiling ? Or should I push it up to about 2,50 meters and do something completely different with the remaining height ? Hanging clouds ? Panels hung 45 degrees from the wall ? Nothing ? Diffusors ?

The back wall gets pretty much the same treatment as the front wall but the question remains the same. All the way up ?

If you go all the way up to the ceiling it will help stop standing waves that would otherwise occur between the two walls, so, yes
