First I am sorry for the horrible MS Paint pictures and their size. 
I have an empty room in my basement I am trying to turn into a vocal/beat production room. Due to size constraints I have decided to track vocals and mix in the same room and get rid of the "booth". Here is a MS paint layout of the room. I can take actual pics if needed to help.
The room is 10x12 with a 6.5ft drop ceiling.
The google sketchup was an idea, but I built the booth and found that a vocal booth that small is worthless(the sound sucked, booth was 4ftx4ft), I continued to read that I should also be making broadband absorbers and not buying studio foam, especially from frauds(don't even need to go into this)( TY RealTraps for this knowledge) So I had two costly lessons and spent a lot of time getting no results(live and learn) ( Roughly $300 mistake
)
I am asking what direction should I go? Could I keep a corner of the vocal booth and just get rid of 2 walls on the booth and put up 4" broadband panel(ATS, Roxul, 703 etc) on each side, one slanted in the corner? ( shown in MS Paint ) This would kind of be like a 2 sided gobo, but permanently fixed.
My other Idea was to tear everything down and build a gobo. Or keep 2 sides of the old booth and do 2ft modular panels in a half circle shape, so the new "booth" is a cone shape...
The vocals will mainly be hiphop/rap/pop. The music production will be from hiphop/rap to House/Trance.
I also have no trouble building stuff,I am fairly good at wood working, so DIY is always an option.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
