Help with calculating treatment volume for room with vaulted ceiling

Seriously, I have no life.
I have had good success with my own HT room setups for more than 20 years. I have studied and followed the tools that are available for room response and measurement. Lots of incredible innovation over the years.

It is time to focus on my HT listening room. My listening room is ~22ft x 40ft with a 22ft x 28ft section (listening area) vaulted. The base ceiling is 9ft and the ridge height is ~17ft. The ceiling and end walls are currently all drywall and make for a very lively (echo) response. My concern is the frequencies in the mid and upper range. I normally use AMROC for treatment calculations but it is set up for rectangular rooms with flat ceilings. I am looking for an alternative way to calculate the amount of treatment needed to reduce the amount of echo coming from my vaulted ceiling.

My HT system is designed for large rooms, plenty of power and (speaker) drivers to cover.

TIA
BTW- acoustic treatment is usually designed using surface area first. Any volume requirements are determined after that. Look at the NRC for materials- they ALWAYS use area.

Look into 'acoustic 'clouds'.
