I'm looking to do some basic room acoustic treatments to help with audio quality(Regular speech, no singing, yelling, or instruments), trying to keep it under $1k, recording location is that blue yeti on the desk behind the pop filter. As you can see currently the walls and ceiling are bare and I'm getting a pretty large amount of sound reflection.
All directions are based on sitting in front of the computer looking at the monitor.
My original plan was to put up 2 4x2 panels in the corner where the computer is, a 4x4 on the wall to my right and a 4x4 on my back wall all the way to the left and maybe a 4x2 or another 4x4 on that back wall all the way to the right by the door, these all being acoustic absorption panels. The more I read on the topic the more I wonder if I am missing things. Do i need a panel on the ceiling above where I am recording? Should I be using diffusers in some of these locations instead of absorption panels? Maybe recording into the corner like this isn't ideal? Any feedback would be appreciated.
If it's helpful I can make a recording with the yeti so you can hear the acoustics, perhaps someone with a better ear and more experience than I can determine what I really need and what would just be a waste of money.
Room Dimensions: 13'6" from computer wall to back wall x 10' 5" between side walls x 8' ceiling
