I’m looking to invest in a mobile acoustic measurement software and am looking for opinions.
I’ve been playing with the Spectrafoo Demo and I must say it’s very impressive
http://mhsecure.com/metric_halo/products/software/spectrafoo.html and it’s very competitively priced. The Main thing appealing to me about foo is the “Transfer Function Measurement System” I became familiar with while using a SIM system… This to me is the most valuable feature.
Smaart/Live but Spectrafoo/Everything (my humble opinion)
but no foo live?
yeah!! lab, postproduction, recording, live, every audio modes or environment work

If you cant here it. We have a problem. Put down the the scope and listen. Ear train first then start tuning. Otherwise quit.
George, the ear is not a measurement tool it’s an aesthetic tool. And, in the context of what I’m measuring that statement is kinda foolish :-P
My context is room tuning. I do it everyday. Its my job. I’ve used every platform mentioned here. They do not compare to my ears. :-/
I do think the best analyzer is the ear when analyzing aesthetics of speaker output. If it sounds good it is good. But I have a bunch of drivers to compare, Microphones to test, EQs to fix, reverb tails to match, tape recorder calibration. etc etc you cannot do that stuff properly without measurement tools.
Different deal. Never-mind. I just hate what these analyzers have done to sound. So I’m very protective.
The do nothing to sound except anylize it. I hate what misinterpretation of these analyzer a have resulted in.
