[QUOTE="harrybrilljr, post: 88850, member: 103"] Re: Sim VS Smaart First let me just say Smaart 7 is as high or higher res than SIM depending on frequency. At no point is the resolution lower. You can lower it of course. It's called SMOOTHING. With a few tweaks under the hood you can get nearly the exact same measurement from Smaart as SIM3. I am actually MUCH MUCH faster on Smaart even with 5 mics, as the setup time on SIM takes too long. SIM does not have spatial averaging, neither live nor 1 mic at a time, which is something I use to do my final tweaks. 75% of the last 20%. SIM is NOT multi-mic in the same way as Smaart. You are never looking at more than 1 mic at a time in SIM. In Smaart and Systune you can see multiple mics at the same time. AFAICT Meyer fundamentally believe this is useless and so I don't see it changing soon, but I could be wrong. One thing SIM has that I like. Extremely stable trace that updates quickly with changes. In Smaart we just hit the V key as we make changes to the system. Accuracy? Pretty much the same. In Smaart you can turn off all smoothing and decimation so you can get extremely accurate almost useless measurements. Measurements like this are better left for the lab where you are doing scientific research rather than trying to make a PA sound good. [/QUOTE]
