Would like to experiment with doing some analysis in my living room theater, but I dont want to spend any money. I downloaded the free REW measurement program to my surface pro, plugged in a blue snowball mic which i placed in my primary listening position, and plugged the surface into the an hdmi in on my receiver. I used to program to run sweeps and the response I got was actually really flat with just a few peaks and dips which I found to be a bit suspect being that I was running without any room correction software.
I have a lot of learning to do about how to properly calibrate the equipment and the software, but my main question is...

Do correction of its own on the incoming audio signal? Should I use a less forgiving mic?
Just started on all this experimenting and I know I have a lot to learn.
