The Truth Hurts - REW and my room...

Everything affects phase, and phase affects everything. You can't have analog EQ unless you muck about with phase.

Interestingly enough, one of the real gurus of live sound system tuning, Bob McCarthy, has said that it pretty much cancels out. Using EQ to fix a speaker system problem also tends to correct related phase problems. But also with a modern digital processor you can do quite a lot to correct speaker phase problems along with useful EQ stuff.

Makes sense.

But it's not "fixing a speaker system" we are discussing, yeah?

I mean, it's monitoring to mix, which seems somehow a step past that.

In the live sound biz we say "you can't EQ the room, you EQ the speaker system". Obviously there are a lot of room problems you can't fix with EQ. But you can do a lot with how you deploy and process your speakers.
