tracking/control rooms.....

i've got a really oddball one here...and it's confounding...

You can use the Mode Calculator on my company's site. Look in the Acoustics Info section. But no matter what you calculate (or even measure), the solution is always the same: As much broadband bass trapping as possible in the corners, plus absorption at the first reflection points on the side walls and ceiling. This "formula" works well for pretty much any room, regardless of the room's characteristics.
