Room progress-have a look?

[RKrizman]

So I've been treating my room with over 25 different panels and diffusion devices along with several bags of rolled up pink and I've gotten to this point. The improvement has been dramatic to say the least, and when finished I'm going to blog the whole process here with photos, etc. In the meantime I'm curious as to anyone's opinions about these frequency graphs.

I am working with a respected designer and don't mean to second guess him--just thought it would be interesting to see what the room thinks at this point.

These are Fuzz Measure sweeps from the front left speaker (ADAM S3-A) recorded at the listening position.

Thanks,

Hmm ... I don't know. This is supposed to be a fully functional treatment? Because you know if one element still misses this can cause dramatic deviations.

Nevertheless I see like +/- 8 dB in the 1/24 octave smoothing FR and while this is not bad it is not very good.

Have a look at my FR of the day, and I should add that at this point I even only cared about the bass response up to 350 Hz and removing the dips upwards from that is a question of time, not knowledge. This is an unsmoothed graph (it is averaged over measuring time but that makes the peaks and dips more pronounced).

Here's a waterfall.

Well, it's a tough room, L shaped with some flat ceilings, some peaked, and a loft/cupola. The difference from the original sound is astounding.

I'm trying to serve two purposes--tracking and mixing--so compromises abound.

Thanks for weighing in.

For reading the waterfall the scales on all three axes would be necessary.

Well, even with +/- 8 dB you can to a lot of good music and it is certainly better than many. My room was like that for quite a while now and I was always working.

On the missing axis I believe it goes out to 200 ms.

And on the other missing axis?

Doh. The printer cut off the info, but I believe each dark horizontal line represents 10 db.

amazing!!! 10 db window!
