[QUOTE="Simon Eves, post: 115306, member: 4463"] X32 v2 RTA OK, a bit of an ungrateful Devil's Advocate post, this one, but here goes... I just installed the v2 software on my X32 for the first time, and had a play with the RTA (having not really read much about it, other than that there was one) and I have to say I'm pretty disappointed. I guess was expecting some kind of mini-SMAART, with features to assist with room tuning, but it doesn't have dual-channel functionality or any kind of comparison and analysis tools. In reality, it's just a fancy single-channel FFT display. It doesn't even have any options for frequency resolution or slower time averaging, at least not that I've found. OK, it might be useful for visualizing the content of various sources, with a view to blending stuff together musically, or for finding feedback frequencies, but that's about all. Don't get me wrong, I wasn't expect the equivalent of a $900 piece of software to come for free, but obviously if I thought I could stop saving up that money, I can think again... Also, a bug, or at least a missing feature... surely with Auto Gain enabled on the RTA, the dB scale on the left should slide down as it gains up? I didn't notice there even was an Auto Gain at first, and I couldn't understand why the spectrum kept coming up across the full range as soon as I stopped making a noise. [/QUOTE]
