Roger,
Actually, this didn't take much time at all. The file took maybe 20
minutes to generate and it confirmed what I was hearing so I could better
determine what changes to make. I thought about renting an RTA but this
seemed easier and yes, I know pink noise gets it all done at once but you
can certainly hear what is going on when you take it a few frequencies at a
time!
I've tried to gather as much as I can from folks and I have found lots of
BS. One of the things I found is that most of the mathematical solutions
don't work unless you can model things to the Nth degree. I downloaded a
room mode calculator from the web that covered the first several room
modes. I entered my room dimensions in and the modes it came back with
didn't match what my ears were hearing or what my tests were showing! Once
you start loading a room with equipment, and modular synths get pretty big,
any formulas based on just the walls of the room will start to break down.
