Small Studio Construction - Need a few opinions
Hello ....... anybody got a minute to check this out?
In considering construction techniques for this project, I welcome all comments. All that I suggest when examining the project, and the limited area of approx. 176 sq. feet, is that you please consider the fact that this is only a hobby. A (multi-purpose) studio to be built within the small basement of a 2-bedroom row home.
I’ve researched some construction options regarding acoustical materials the walls:
Insulation panels (as opposed to Auralex panels), for the walls:

OR - Simply cover the walls with fiberglass, then cover the fiberglass with fabric?
OR - Another alternative to Auralex - Go to an HVAC supply house and get 4x8 sheets of "ductboard" insulation. (Compressed Fiberglas that's backed w/foil) Go to a larger fabric store and get some nice, color-coordinated material. Then wrap the ductboard in the material, screw it to the wall.
OR - ArmCom Distributing (952-926-2177).
'Nubbie Tile' also called 'Nubbie Board'. It
comes in most any size you need but is stocked as 2'x4' and
4'x8' panels. Made by Armstrong Ceiling Products - it's
more exensive than drywall but?
AND - I do realize that the application of Bass Traps in small areas could be more critical than in larger areas…
Here are some rough sketches that also pose several questions:

Thank you all for your contributions!
