I'm working on acoustically treating my small studio and this was available at Menards: R-16.8 Thermafiber Mineral Wool Insulation, 40sq ft for $50.

What applications would this have? Would this be okay with low frequencies to make bass traps or just mid/high frequencies and use it for parallel walls and the ceiling?
 
they'll be fine for the mid/highs. I'm assuming we're talking about standard 2in/6lb material? To help attack that low end, use two or three pieces stacked together for the bass traps.
 
So three for bass traps and 2 for the mids/highs would be good?
 
You can use just one piece of insulation for your absorption panels on the parallel walls.

For the bass traps, the more the better. 6in thick bass traps (or 3 pieces put together) are pretty standard for most builds.
