Re: [motm] Testing your studio

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.
