I've recently purchased a Behringer DSP11249 BFD and am using it with Room EQ Wizard to tame some bass peaks in my room. Unfortunately due to the size and shape of my room, my sub can only go into one of three places. I must say after a week of playing with it, the difference is amazing. It has actually cleared up some of the boomy muddiness that plauged some of my DVDs. King Kong, Sky Captain, and Matrix Revolutions just had boomy bass all over it. Now it has really tighten up, I wish I would have done this earlier. However, I do miss some of the oomph! in those scenes. I figured I would try experimenting with House curves to reclaim some of that.
In Room EQ Wizard, the Target Response curve has a slope to it, that's without adding a House curve to it. Shouldn't it be flat from 20Hz out? Am I confused in my thinking? The Target Response curve starts around 30 Hz and slopes downward. But in various articles and help files that refer to getting a room's response to flat; each shows a picture of a Target Response that is curved. Why is that?
I think I understand the psycho-acoustic effect of a higher bass note sounding louder than a lower one. But if I EQ my room to follow the target response curve, it looks like there is already a built in curve for those lower frequencies. Am I missing something?
