Alright, I've rendered a 3D image of my room with hours of work on photoshop. I'm wondering what would be the best way to treat it acoustically on a budget. I'll be tracking, mixing and mastering in this room. I hope my picture isn't too intense for some of you.

hahaha... yeah it is. Well maybe not the whole photoshop part.
 
That room is 2 feet wider than the room I use and almost identical otherwise. I had to sacrifice the bed. Now I have a decent small studio, but I have to sleep on the couch.
 
Hmmm... the first link you gave me was dead and I've already checked out real traps but unfortunately I'm on a much tighter budget then they typically suit.
 
Look at this for a possible solution.......

Please check out my studio set-up on my website.
It may or may not be what youre looking for.

I need more acoustic material as well, however.
Thinking heavy drapes among other things.

You will need bass traps and absorption panels at the very least.

Check out this.

I have some of their panels and corner cubes and they are fine. Not sure about the bass traps though, but they will probably be OK.
 
I'm reading the article that APL linked me to. So to the best of my understanding, rigid fiberglass is the way to go over foam. Also it seems to be cheaper. So If I set up my computer and recording equipment directly across from my closet I would definnately need to deaden the wall behind me. But what about the closet door?... hmm... Also I'm assuming small bass traps in each of my corners near the celing would be a good idea?

If your closet is full of clothes, and you open the doors (or remove them) it will be very absorptive.

Alright, good to know I'm not going to have to throw out my clothes. So basically some bass traps and a few diffusers on the walls are all that I'm going to need?
 
You will need absorption panels and bass traps to start with (diffusion is different). The more bass traps the better (to try to put it simply).
 
I tried the fiberglass method, but ended up going with foam. After buying burlap, fiberglass boards, rolls of fiberglass for bass traps and struggling to hang them without damaging rented walls, I tried the foam. It wasn't much more expensive than what had already been spent on the fiberglass project and was much easier to work with. I don't regret going with foam at all.
