I have a small room that is 9x7x8 and i am oriented facing the short wall with the longer walls to my left and right. I am using this room as a small project studio, I am mixing in it and trying to get a flat curve for this room. I am going to build bass traps for all of the corners of the walls behind me and I am going to buy panels for the first reflection points to my left and right but I am not sure what to do with the wall directly behind me. The wall directly behind me is completely made up of two wooden closet doors. Is this absorbtive on its own or do I need to sound proof it. I was thinking about putting acoustic panels on a slight angle on the doors but I am not sure this is necessary. Do I want diffusors or absorbtion or what? Thank you.

My back wall is all wood does it need sound proofing?

Did I forget to put something I was supposed to in the question?

The doors will be reflective, diffusion will not help in a room so small so absorption is your answer, if the back wall is giving you a problem. Getting a flat response may not be in your future in this type of setting.
Well I don't really know yet, I haven't done anything yet, but I plan on making two 6" thick bass traps for the back corners and one for the ceiling/wall corner behind me, then I am making 2 24x48x2 panels for both side walls and a 4" cloud on the ceiling. The floor is carpeted and I think that I am probobaly going to put 2 24x24 panels on the wooden doors directly behind me.
