First Room Response Measurement

And this is why I use headphones to judge low end.

Room response measurement, 29th Dec 2007

There’s a lovely 12dB peak at about 128hz and about 24dB difference between that and 90hz! Time to order the bass traps…

    What microphone and software did you use to retrieve the acoustics of your room? Did you place it only in the position that you mix from or did you place it elsewhere as well?

    I used a RadioShack digital SPL meter to take the reading, connected to my audio interface via the line out. The meter was balanced precariously on the back of my chair and was pretty much in the same position as my head is for mixing. I didn’t measure from anywhere else.
