Greetings everyone. This is my first post. I just had to share my gratitude and success story with the members.
I'm a retired software engineer and spend a lot of my time listening to, performing, practicing, recording or thinking about music. My home office serves as my primary listening, practice, recording and thinking space. Last summer I moved across town from condo 1 to condo 2. At first glance, the room in condo 2 chosen to be my office seemed like it might serve me well with its vaulted ceiling and non-cubicle layout. However, I've been *very* disappointed with the sound I've experienced ever since the move. Things weren't great in condo 1, but the sound really sucked in condo 2.
A believer in the scientific method, I didn't put much time or effort into improving the room or sound system, "knowing" that any changes made could not be measured. I learned how wrong I was the day I discovered the existence of REW. Being able to measure the actual frequency response at my listening position was a capability I never thought I could afford. And it motivated me like nothing else to solve my room's problems.
Guided only by REW's SPL graph, my unconventional sound system went from being sorely disappointing to much better than I've ever before heard it. I'm convinced I would not have achieved these results without being able to measure the response of the room. I've attached a before and after SPL graph so you can see the improvement that probably never would have happened were it not for REW.
I offer my sincere thanks to the team that made available REW.
Best,
Steve
