What microphone should be purchased to use with REW?Scotty
Sounds like I need to break down and get in the 21st century and see if my ears are as good as scientific measurements. Nothing gained by sitting on your keester!

I'll put money on it that they aren't.
Thanks guys! For better or worse, I just committed myself to enter the measured arena. I ordered the Cross-Spectrum Calibrated Dayton mic and the Tascam 122MKII mic pre. I guess it's time to familiarize myself with REW.To be honest, I've been keen to measure for some time, but I am also aware that ignorance can be bliss. As it stands, I'm rather happy with things, but I also understand the degree to which our brains compensate - especially when it's all as familiar as we each find our own setups (which can work against neutrality in rating the sound of 'foreign' systems). Still, it will be very interesting to see how the ''feeling around in the dark'/'just plop the subs over there'' method measures. I've moved my Magnepan 3.7s around quite a bit, but I've only tried my subs in a few absolute (no micro-nudging) locations. The addition of room treatments has been done in a formulaic manner, but some of that isn't mobile (front wall diffusion is glued in place and the corner traps are designed for that specific location).Thanks for the recommendations, but I fear that this genie is going to be tough to put back in its bottle. I confess a few OCD tendencies and tools like this definitely feed that monster.
