I have this room I use for production, recording, mixing, and mastering. I would like to treat it further for monitoring before Sonarworks Reference 4 Calibration. Location, Arcadia Los Angeles CA, USA - also in profile. Attached I have made a crude room sketch, detailing the many inopportune details of the room.

1. I know I need more absorption panels, but I was conflicted with where to put them with all the asymmetry. 2. My first reflection areas have a window and a closet with a sliding mirror door that juts out the wall. 3. My rear wall is about 5 feet away from me, do I not need to put my diffusors on my rear wall then? 4. I see a 2' x 4' x 5" & 2' x 7' x 5" roxul panels for 200$ should I purchase this for my 3rd corner and rear wall?
There is a case to be made for facing the West Wall. I would test the LF response in both orientations. You may get a clear answer. Treatment is pretty much the same for any rectangular space. Cloud, Corner Traps, Deep Back Wall trapping, Side Reflection killers. I don't see much point to small areas of diffusion.
