Run REW prior to treating room


Quick question: I have a fairly standard room at 20' by 18' with 8' ceilings and I would like to treat my room with bass traps, acoustic panels, etc..

 

Should I first run REW to see how my room measures? Based on the measurements I can treat as appropriate. Is this the way room treatments should be done?

Thanks for your input..

I to am to use REW with little experience of it as a software. 

Any guidance on its use will be appreciated. 

I will be programming Hypex Amp's to work with Bass Units. 

Yes you need before and then after data to know which treatment is working ideally.

This video series is awesome for that even if the primary focus is studio spaces. The general understanding cuts across to home spaces too

Just remembered that GIK will take your REW measurements from your untreated room and make recommendations for you.  It’s a free service and no required purchases.  At least it was when they did it for me.
