I see DRCDesigner as a "cheap man's" AudioLense, Acourate, or Dirac. Simple but reasonable UI, easy way to measure room impulse up to 24/96 for each stereo channel separately, simple design of target curve and easy batch creation of FIR filters for convolution plug-ins like the one in JRiver. Works well and you can customize the "strength" of the correction used by DRC to calculate these FIR filters. Although I use REW to do a number of measurements, and in the past have used it to calculate parametric EQ settings for my room, is it capable of producing FIR filters these days? JRiver DSP upsamples my music and calculations performed in 96kHz... Perfect for the Transporter on playback. I like the results better than my Onkyo's Odyssey MultEQ XT (not XT32) result. Has anyone seen a good writeup comparing DRC packages like the aforementioned AudioLens/Acourate/Dirac vs. DRC? One limitation of the free DRC/Designer is that only one location can be measured. For me, I think this is fine for stereo - I just care about the sweetspot and doubt this is a significant problem.
