Room Acoustics
Hello Folks,
I did treat my room with traps and foam etc ... Now what's the best way to test the room acoustics ? RoomEQ is not working on my Mac .... I watched an impressive way that can be done within Ableton Live (after placing the measuring mic in the listening position) you get to use some frequency analysis plugin and get a frequency chart ... Anyway this can be done within Pro Tools ?

Re: Room Acoustics
SMAART and SpectraFoo are 2 "pro" options. You can also do it "the old fashioned" way. Call up the signal generator plugin, sit in your normal mix position(with a pad a pencil handy) and set the frequency at 500 Hz(since most room issues will be in the lower frequencies), set a comfortable volume, and then start nudging the freq lower in small increments. Whenever you hear a perceived volume change, make a note of the freq. and by how much(either with a measurement mic and a meter, a DB meter, or just your own perceived change, like -a little or +a lot) and work the freq all the way down to 32-40Hz. Knowing the exact response is certainly preferred, but simply knowing where lumps and holes are, is still valuable knowledge
 . If you feel you want to measure from 500Hz up, go for it (but keep the level around 80-85db or where earplugs or headphones to save your ears.....and your sanity  )

Re: Room Acoustics
Have you look at this?
http://www.jblpro.com/www/products/v...1#.UyxQTYXgO4I It worked fine for my room and it's a useful monitor controller as well.
