With that said, I go to a blog called the Recording Revolution that is targeted to home recordists. Graham has a free blog he posts regularly on. He does have other products you can purchase that go deep but the free and frequent blogs are very, very useful.

Here are a couple of blogs that talk to your questions:

Stop Worrying About Room Acoustics

Bad Recording Environment? No Problem

Yes! Graham nails it every time. Another site which you may find very helpful is 'Home Studio Corner' which is run by a really great guy, Joe Gilder.
