Tutorials on Room EQ???

[David Faulkner]

Is anyone able to provide me with a long in depth video, website, ect. on manually mesuring/adjusting room EQ? Would like to start doing everything manually but these charts/graphs look like a different language to me. I understand frequency response, cutoffs, but need a broken down layman's terms explanation on Room EQs from start to finish. Thanks everyone!

You referring to use with particular software/implementation gear? What gear do you have that you want to try this out with?

ps In any case, a lot of good info here as well it being one of the more popular tools. https://www.roomeqwizard.com/

Okay, then that REW software site I pointed you at is a good start, download that and dive into their materials and forum. This thread is a good tutorial on using REW with a usb mic; for usb mics a miniDSP Umik-1 or a Dayton UMM-6 would be good mics to get. You will be limited to the adjustments via your on board eq, rather than implement something with something like a miniDSP 2x4 or similar unit.

I have already taken lovinthehd and shadyj's advice to give REW and a new measurement mic a try.
Worked out great. There is a bunch you can learn and having objective data beats the tar out of subjective guesses about what's going on.

Follow whatever links/help they toss your way and you should get some good, useful information
