My question would be for a control room and a mic/vocal/instrument room?

I think I have the rest of my room treated pretty well based on the advice of many on this board (MM, Noize, etc.) but have not gotten around to treating the ceiling in either room yet. If I could fiure out how to post pics on this site I would...

Any insight is always appreciated.

I would say that anything that you don't want to reflect sound, should be treated. If it's a sonic hazard, then it can be treated.

As far as images go, you have to host an image somewhere, then place the link in the body of the message (include the http:// part too, so it shows up in the body of the message).

for exampe, i just right clicked and grabbed the URL location in the bar:

and pasted the link here ^

Yep, the ceilings here are all acoustic tile and it makes a world of difference. In here I also use a product from Auralex called Sheet Block. It makes a huge difference in the way the room is. You can findit and other bits here.

I'm a huge fan of dead ceiling in small rooms (or live *diffuse* ceilings in large rooms).

I'll rarely pass up a live floor though...
