wtf's on your ceiling Joey?? Looks like you painted it silver 2 times with slightly different shades, or is it just that damn popcorn texture and a weird shadow?

Throw some traps up on the walls and go for it. People nitpick way too much about this shit, in my experience it is not the life or death issue people make it out to be. That room is totally useable as is, you're not trying to capture huge ambient natural drum sounds on your stuff so the room is really a small fucking factor in the equation. I'm surprised that the POD king is getting antsy about not tracking drums in an acoustically perfect environment 
Break some fucking barriers and swim against the stream my friend!

I'm sure what ever options you go with the results will be awesome Joey, everything you have put out is stellar! What Ive read from Ethan Winer, the acoustic guru, you want heavy bass trapping in all corners and a reflective floor with non reflective ceiling for small rooms. Looks like your rooms a little backwards..LOL. He has some great articles at www.ethanwiner.com and www.realtraps.com
I took all his designs and made my own traps and saved a ton of money. I finished in 7 months with building and flooring but you obviously don't have that time!
Here's the results
Theres also some obsorbtion on the side walls to help with flutter.

Yes Sir!
How did you build those taller traps in the corners and the over head one?
They don't look like there 8ft to me (2-2'x4' panels) and just curious as I would like to build some like this as well.

Metaltastic: These are removable window plugs.
Joshua: The traps on the walls are 2'x4' the corners are 2'x6' and the ceiling clouds are 6'x4' all filled with 2 sheets 2" rockwool.
It was a lot of work but it sounds awesome, I got a project coming up this month so hopefully I can break it in! All depends if can get the shit wired up in time.

Well all the 703 and rockwool I thought came in 2'x4' sections. Did you cut one in half to make them 6' panels?
