RE: recording studio walls

I don't know that fabric-covered walls would be particularly good for sound reproduction. A few live rooms are done that way, but the needs of recording sound are very different from reproducing sound. It's fairly easy to dampen an overly live room, but livening up a dead room can be expensive.

Design your room so no room dimension is a multiple of any other dimension. Non-parallel walls are good (and attics are often good at providing them.)

Most dipoles love to shoot into long, relatively narrow rooms, and attics are often good for this as well. Having a live end opposite a dead end can be very effective. Most people set the dead end behind the speakers, but I've heard the opposite sound very good as well.
