Suggested treatment for my room.

[smokescreensam]

I have a recording space at home that i use for a live room/control room.It is around 20'x 22'
I have the drums in one corner, a piano in the next corner and the monitoring area across the room from them in the centre of the wall. They are essentially in a triangle. What would be the best way to treat this room?I can draw a diagram if it would help people.
It currently has no treatment and I am thinking about spending some money on it.
What kind of thing would be a good idea?
Bass traps?
Simple acoustic foam?
Many thanks for any replies.

If I were you I would just do some DIY traps using rigid fibreglass that you can buy fromt the Wickes in peterborough, and also buy some fabric dustsheets to cover them. Borrow a sewing machine and sew them up and then put something solid in the back of them to stop them going floppy.

Ah hey Joe!
Yeh that's exactly what I was thinking of doing, I didn't know if there was a way of just buying something as I don't really have much free time with all my uni work!

Make the room non-rectangle and build a bass trap, helps a lot

Maybe readybags by ready acoustics, they are $30 each for the bass trap bags, and you just fill them with normal rockwool, I'm pretty convinced rockwool is better than foam.

Oh yeah, rockwool is totally better than foam for absorbing low frequencies cuz it's rigid
