[QUOTE="Tim McCulloch, post: 43514, member: 67"] Re: What (audio related) ebook do you want written? Ditto to what Ivan said. I'd made hundreds of measurements, most all of them bad for various reasons, when I began making measurements. Then I compounded those bad measurements by incorrectly interpreting the results on screen (like not recognizing a bad measurement) and making wrong decisions based on those. Fortunately, Jamie Anderson convinced me to keep working until I got the "Ah ha!" moment. I'm still no measurement whiz kid, but I can now tell if I'm looking at something wrong on the screen when I make a measurement. I've learned that getting a pretty picture is secondary to my and the client's perception of audition. I've learned that Smaart and other dual channel FFT analyzers are powerful tools that can do nothing on their own. Learning to use Smaart, by itself, is no more useful than learning to read the tach in a race car. Sure, you can tell what it says, but that doesn't make you a driver. [/QUOTE]
