BOOTH HELP
Hello, i am having a problem trying to acoustically treat my booth in my studio. I don't know where to start but in the control room i use rigid fiberglass. would i also use this in the booth. Can you guys give me your opinion on what to use. Thanks

Sorry, guess Thomas is pretty busy with his new company startup; that's kind of an odd-shaped booth; what do you use it for, and is it possible to "steal" some of that space for a corner trap at the end opposite the door?
Generally, you want a booth as dead as you can get it; using 2 to 4" fiberglass (the rigid kind) on at least the upper half of walls and the ceiling is a good start If you have the headroom, leaving a 3 to 4 inch gap between the ceiling and the fiberglass helps widen the range of frequencies that are absorbed.
If you're doing acoustic guitar in the booth, then a slat resonator tuned to around 300 hZ would be good; it should help tame typical body resonances somewhat.
This page should give you some ideas for traps -

And here is the corrected calculator for the slat absorbers - for a corner trap, use the average depth in calculations -

Hope that helps, let me know if you need more info... Steve
