actually none of the walls added are gypsum but rather frames with rigid insulation and cloth to create absorption over the walls and shape some of the reflections. the back wall of the CR - i'd line with broadband porous absorbers including hanging one on the door.

oops !! got it Thnx

Glenn, What's the purpose of the exposed 2x's on some of the cloth walls?

none really, its an artifact of a quick sketch to suggest ideas... ideally with proper carpentry work, the edges of the walls will mesh right in with the finished work.
