Re: Music Room Treatment
Haven't been able to afford any fancy stuff yet.
I've always believed in fully-loaded bookshelves on the back wall 'though - best-bang-for-buck dispersion money can buy.

Re: Music Room Treatment
Yup, and the bookshelves can't be beat.
Pro tip:
Fill 'em with books but don't arrange them by-size. Instead, try to jumble up heights and widths so that the spread of books looks as random as possible.
This is super-effective at preventing that ugly slap-back echo one gets from a bare rear wall. You don't want absorption on this wall or you'll end up using too much reverb in your mixes. Instead, you want a nice even dispersal of frequencies reflecting beck from that wall so as to prevent "dead room syndrome" and create a balanced-but-live-sounding room.

I used a mix of 4' x 2' acoustic panels, 4' x 2' asymmetrical foam wedge panels, and two wooden skyline diffusers located behind my audio monitors.
