| I'm using ARC. My room is not very big, about 25 square meters (unfortunately almost square shaped too) and has 6-8 db resonance peaks in the low mids. I'm using Real Traps which certainly help to reduce the standing waves -if I had more of them it would be better I think.
Anyway, my monitors are Mackie HR824s and I'm mixing TV music for action, so there's plenty going on in the low area. I listen pretty close up to the speakers.
Using ARC, the mix opens up completely. I can hear every note of the bassline, whereas without it, everything below 300Hz mushes together.
I'm sold. Of course I could possibly do the same thing with EQ but it would be more work to figure out & set up, and as I had Sampletank the crossgrade deal from IK Multimedia was good too.
