[QUOTE="Ivan Beaver, post: 137583, member: 30"] Re: Garage Loudspeaker Lab Agreed. There are TWO main things to learn about measurements. The first (and hardest) is actually UNDERSTANDING MEASUREMENTS-what the screen is telling you-what to look for etc. Just because something is on the computer screen DOES NOT mean it is accurate. The FIRST question everybody should aske themselves is "does that make sense?" If it doesn't then see if there is actually something wrong with what you are measuring OR something wrong in YOUR setup/measurement. The second and easier thing is understanding your way around the actual software. Somebody who understands measurements can find their way around the various software programs kinda easy and get good measurements. But the HARD part is understanding what you are actually seeing and what it means. A dip in the response DOES NOT always mean that you put an eq filter there to "bump it up". The software might "look" like you fixed it-but you could have made it wrong. If the dip was caused by cancellation of different signal arrivals, then EQ is the wrong tool. Delay would be the proper tool. But if you fix one seating position-have you made others worse? As usual-once you start digging0it just gets deeper and deeper. [/QUOTE]
