OK folks - I'm always tweaking my system/room. Moving speakers/sub/furniture,
playing w/ some sort of trap/absorption. It's a "square room of death" acoustically - 11.5x11.5x8
SPL can get outta hand in here pretty quick. The biggest problems are ringing at higher listening levels & the peaks and nulls from the sub. At moderate levels, things are really ok. But, when I'm home alone, I like to push it a little and some movies just call for it.
I've looked at RTA, REW & BFD briefly - just want something to "tell" me where the biggest problems lie. Which of these, or what other programs, are the most basic & easiest to use?? I still need to get a decent (read acceptable & cheap) sound card for my laptop - thinking the external Audigy. Already have RS Analog meter. Will the free version of TrueRTA be enough to get started? It even seems more complicated/in depth than I'm looking for - calibrating the mic/soundcard and such.
Gimme some ideas...I know to "do it right" it will take time & $$. But looking for a quick, cheap way to at least get started....
