Q1-Q3 - is ok. for your studio - deep absorption is proper. as far as slats - you determine the aesthetics. if you like the regular slats and spacing - good. if you want to vary the slats and spacing - also good. since they're behind the speakers, the low frequency which will wrap behind them doesn'...

coolio.

effectively - yes.

since you already have the drywall on the bootom - i'd leave that, but i would cover the side face with cloth.

if you use a silencer on the wall penetrations for the supply and return, you don't need to soundproof the ducts. and if they're flex duct, even better. the soffits (if they were soft) would absorb a lot, and adding some hard plates etc along the sides and/or bottom to keep things from being complet...

ok, so you're not going to leverage the soffit space for additional absorption?

slightly forward would be good.

yep. that should be a good starting point. then plan to tweak positions slightly to get the best response. typically you'd want the desk video monitors behind the speaker plane (assuming the slight > on the desk is your video monitors)

no such thing as a bass trap which is too big
yes that insulation would work.
no, you can just fill the space
add some support framing and use chicken wire or other mesh to support each 12" of insulation so they don't compress over time

depending on the air ducts sizes, you might make the vents larger to reduce possible noise

are the doors on separate frames or a single frame assembly? if the former - on the covering of the frames - leave a gap and seal it - back rod and caulk to reduce any structural transfer. if it's a single frame assembly, just go ahead and cover. on the side - use a soft foam to fill or if a single ...

wow! that is some serious craftspersonship!

yes, i think you want it on the clean/computer power circuit to avoid noise via the HDMI connection.

in the new design, for all intents and purposes the "front soffit" is effectively integrated into the front wall (a good thing and i do it all the time unless i need something deeper to accomodate larger ducts or interior ac units). and having the rear wall soffit - also good. as a general...

it would have been best to run a quick coat of dywall mud on the joins - so maybe do that for the walls. in generally, if you stagger the screws on 16" then you get approx a screw per 8" so that should be enough. so first layer - 1 1" screw per 16", second layer 1-3/4" (or 2...
