room tuning within protools

[ec123]

I'd like to put a plugin EQ across my monitors in Protools, but how can I run REW or fuzzmeasure WITH the eq to see how how it's affecting the frequency response of the room?

I haven't seen anyone talk about other programs, but is there something out there that can measure the room within Protools?

Do not use EQ to compensate for a poorly treated room.. However, you CAN use EQ to 'fix' a Steady-State issue such as Flush mounting.

Any EQ used to correct an issue at one point in the room will result in producing other issues everywhere else in the room.

I have about 25 2x4 4" panels on the walls, in corners, where the ceiling meets the wall, etc. There's no room for more! haha..

BUT

There are still a couple low end problems I'd like to correct.

I do post, mostly film, and I've seen EQs on rooms this size (300-400ish sq/ft) to correct problems... I'm just trying to do this myself, but I'll call in a pro if I need to.

Any additional thoughts on this???

Yes, indeed.

Can you run REW? if so, please get a measure of your room, one speaker at a time at the listening position. Full sweep 20Hz to 20kHz. No smoothing.
- Sorry, I can't read Fussmeasure as I don't us a Mac (AutoDesk Building Suite does not like the Mac)

Post the mdat file. I'll have a look.

You may very well be dealing with BIR issues which can be corrected with placement - of the speakers AND the listener.

Mr. Brandt, love your webpage (beautiful studio pictures). You have an interesting bio (Jeremy Spencer from Fleetwood Mac is a colorful character).

If I may ask, how did you end up Indonesia and how do you like it there?

Thanks.

[jhbrandt]

Haha, yeah Jeremy was a character.

I met my wife in Jakarta about 6 years ago.. couldn't stay away, so I came back and married her. And here I stay. For good. I love it here. -Perpetual paradise.
We get to go to Bali every summer and lay on the beach.
Thank you.

Cheers,
John
