Here is my main problem guys, and thus the idea of trying the egg cartons. I will try to draw in ASCII are what my room looks like.

The rooms I use were an attic made into bedrooms by the previous owner of the home. The angles represent drywall at the angle of the roof, then the flat ceiling is about 7 1/2 ft. Sadly the house was built in 1965 in the style of the bungalow homes of that era and the stairway leading up in in the dead center of the house, thus the 2 rooms. And I have nowhere to relocate the stairway so I can make it one big room. So I am stuck with this barn shaped room with hard surfaces. There are more issues but maybe photos are needed. They built knee walls for closets and such on one side, which works well for a place to put the guitar stand and the fridge and microwave as well as a closet to keep cables and tools and such. The other side is a total mess where everything I don't use gets tossed. Gig bags, the stuff I use for live play, etc..... That only gets cleaned up when I have a drummer in.

I don't know if I even NEED to worry about room acoustics. If it was a professional studio I would say yes, but I am just a home guy who plays for my own enjoyment and to maybe write a hit someday, but even at that it wouldn't be recorded here.
