will absorb sound …
will absorb sound rather then reflect it.

I have added 4″ thick bass traps with a 50mm timber frame which makes a hollow between the insulation and the wall, right behind me on the rear wall, positioned to cover as much reflection as poss.

Then behind the monitors, which sit on MoPads on a shelf, i have added 50mm insulation along the entire listening position, since the monitors are close to the wall.
I did notice this helped immediately but im worried if it is deadening the sound.

My mixing room is …
My mixing room is 8ft 5″ high, 9ft long and 6ft wide.

Am i wasting my time !?

I should have the monitors firing along the length of the room, but then the sidewalls are too close to the monitors and i have double glazed windows right behind the monitors.

Instead i have the monitors firing along the 6ft width. My only hope i have is that the wall they are firing into made of plasterboard on a timber frame followed by a 4″ hollow, hopefully insulated, then another plasterboard,

I feel I have to have the closet, because where I live there is a lot of street noise. I can hear cars and motorcycles passing by, lawnmowers, etc. The closet booth does make a difference. nasanction stated that he lived on an acre, so I’m guessing he doesn’t have much external sound issues.

I am no pro, so I …
I am no pro, so I don’t know if I’m the best person to give advice. But other professionals would probably advise you to NOT build a permanent vocal booth. And just have the control room and the recording room the same room. You may need to build a closet or smaller soundproof box to house a computer or external hard drive – things that might make enough noise that the mics pickup.

I like your song! …
I like your song! Very fitting to your studio project.
I just bought a small house on an acre, and I set aside a 12×12 bedroom with a small closet to make my studio. Any suggestions on using the space efficiently?
I don’t have room for a control room, or a recording booth unless I take a corner or something. I need room for 3 band members (bass, lead, and rhythm) Drums will be done on the computer. I can’t wait to get started!
