3d room design for new house, critical listening area help please

[phrenetic]

hello! back again, looking for a bit of feedback on this build, its 9 feet by 13ish. The application is for music production, mixdowns and mastering, no live recording.

Floors are hardwood, check out my designs





not too sure what to have in the back of the room, Im thinking of a bookcase shelve as well as my dj gear and other obstacles for defusing. Im also thinking of putting bales of rockwool under my desk and in the back corners.

Any help would be appreciated and ill post pictures of my progress!

Take a look at the Room Setup and other articles at RealTraps and GIK.
Look out for the following.

Foam is expensive so it is difficult to get enough of it.
Lots of Bass Traps are nearly always required.
Lots of Bass Traps are nearly always required.
Corners, Corners, Corners =Bass Traps. There are 12 corners in a room.
The Back wall needs treatment.
Many people install massive amounts of Bass Trapping on the back wall and corners.
There is no need for the foam behind your monitors.

Slow down on the foam man. That's probably plenty. Now you need to start on bass trapping...I know the foam wedges are supposed to be bass traps, and they'll do a little bit, but they'll absorb as much up higher as they do down lower, and that will throw the decay times all out of whack.

Secondly, a book case does not a diffuser make, and the gear you'll have back there won't act that way either, though it's better than have an empty room and a flat, blank wall.

You need to develop a plan before you go any further. Like Dan said, you don't need all that foam on the front wall. Your next step should be to get some effective bass trapping into the corners (front and back) and get some thicker bass trapping (6") on the back wall. You can use the foam on the reflection points to your right and left, but I'd really recommend at least 2" panels for the ceiling if not 4" panels. At that point you can stop, assess, and see if you think you need more.
