Run REW prior to treating room

I have the intention to use learn from all that is made available on this area of interest. The available Free Software and Tools that have been suggested to me, will also be utilised to attain an education for myself and see what I am able to achieve using the software and devices.

Anything to be undertaken will only be done when the required action is confirmed by an individual who is very familiar with this type of activity, I am also able to share produced data with a Professional who advises Speaker Producers on their needs following data analysis.

It is a waiting game until requires support is readily available to assist with my needs and enable me to compare my findings and interpretation for the Room / Speakers to theirs.      

Worth using the AM acoustcs room mode simulator for help including speaker and listening placement

I’ve worked with @kevinzoe and have his report that gets generated from the REW data. It’s comprehensive, instructive and relatively easy to understand but more importantly answers the question "now that I’ve got a bunch of measurements, what I do next?".

The report itself is a sophisticated, proprietary analysis of raw data that I suspect took 100’s if not 1000’s of hours to develop.

You’d need to be a mathematician and an acoustic engineer to get something like this out of REW data. I am neither!

In my case, in addition to identifying issues with the room, it also led me to the conclusion that I’ve probably got the wrong speakers for my space. I’ll find out soon because the new speakers arrive Monday.

To be clear, Kevin did not in anyway suggest I should change speakers or suggest a type of speaker that may work better, other than his recommendation of adding a pair of subs help pressurize the huge space I’m dealing with.   

I have no financial benefit from writing this nor did Kevin ask me to chime in.
