Here in the US. Just wondering what a ballpark figure would be for my 10' x 11' diy bedroom studio? Thinking to start (I'll modify when I get monitors) this:

Floor to ceiling bass traps. (4)
4'x4'x2" First reflection walls (2)
4'x2'x2" Front wall (1)
4'x4'x2" Back wall (2)
4'x4'x2" Cloud overhead (1)
Wood & Fabric to cover.

I know there is more to it but thinking this is my starting point.

Sure others here have done this. Cost so far?
 
That's great! Seems like the best bank for the buck this songwriter could spend! Hopefully start sourcing this weekend. :)
 
Everything I've read (here) says you should use 4" thick (minimum) traps everywhere except a cloud, where 2" will work.
I built 6 4'x2'x4" traps for a little less than $250. Could have saved $50 on shipping of the Roxul insulation if I'd had a close source, and probably $25 if I'd shopped around for the burlap (got it at Walmart).
 
The bass traps will be 4" in 4 corners to start. The side wall first reflections should be as well?
