well i wasnt planning on putting up a back wall (I dont know why there is a grey line in that diagram). We wanted to keep the room kind of open in design. i know this isnt the best for isolation but there is only one other person in my band (we write and record every instrument), and with such a small space that we have we didnt we to lose anything by building walls, and be able to easily communicate while tracking. I know that i said the room is 9x9 and thats terrible for bass frequencies but does it help that there is no back wall?
Yep it will be much better without the back wall.
 
You biggest concern should be absorption at bass frequencies. Foam is okay for mids and highs, and it's even okay for bass if it's really thick and you cover large areas of corner surface. If you want to DIY just get some rigid fiberglass four inches thick and follow all the advice here:
