I'm stuck on which room I should use to record my vocals, and only recording vocals. The first room is the box room, a tiny room that just about fits a single bed in, it has a huge wardrobe and drawers which makes the room even smaller, there is a window on one side and noise can easily get in from the outside. The second room is my front room, this is an average sized room, has a 40in tv and a computer in both corners. The problem with this room is that the two corners sort of go in to the wall, like its pushed in so that something can fit there (tv and pc) and there is a wide window on one side. So if I had to use room treatment, what should I use, can you give me any advice? Thanks.
 
If you are anyway going to treat the room, then go for the big one.
For recording vocals you could build some moveable panels to minimize the room sound.
 
When choosing between big and small rooms, the safest option is to chose big.
 
thanks for the replies. so are panels the best option, what other acoustic treatment should I use?

Well, that was vague as hell...

There are so many threads here on the subject. Here is one I posted in earlier today. Maybe it will help give you a start. LINK

Checked out the link, very informing, thanks. You said something about placing traps right up to the wall is less beneficial, I read on this page that placing rockwool traps without a gap isn't useful at all. Check it out.
edit: does this treatment apply for both listening and recording?
