Just for the sake of balance - not wishing to start a fight or
anything...
1) I find my all-digital TACT 2,2XP transparent and highly listenable
and I am more than happy for it to do full-spectrum DRC.
2) You don't need to be very fussy about the correction curve IMHO. A
bit of gentle roll-off ove
I'm going to sit on the fence on this and say "it depends".
I've used a Behringer DEQ2496 in my system very successfully in my old
flat, but that was partly to do with the fact that the room in question
had a lot of issues.
In my new house, the listening room is clearly a lot better and I

DRC in the bass would be nice.
Above the bass I see RC as a strategy with a kind of negative feedback
loop. The more you focus on complete correction the more likely the
correction might be distorted by random variabilty. I see this all the
time on FR plots done with impulses and mics, there is s
I have used both DRC (TACT) and just parametric eq (z-sys rdp-1) and far
prefer par eq. DRC makes my big speakers sound small and you still have
to dial in preference curves cos drc sounds like doo doo if you dont.
I just use my par eq to notch out bass humps and tune to taste.

Interesting thread...
The problem with DRC of course is that it negates the black art of the
acoustic treatment guy...:o)

Try this one - the top is uncorrected, bottom has some kind of mild RC

I'm using a Behringer Deq2496, with matching Behringer mic.
I'm not using Inguz.

Inguz will do all those things more or less automatically. You can
also use DRC (and the tools that come with it) directly, or Room E

There is no doubt that DRC - or just parametric equalization - can
greatly improve sound quality in the bass, at least near one listening
position.
The reason is s
What software are people using to measure the room response, create the
test tones, etc. and if using Inguz, to create the filters?
I'm not sure if a Qnap 109 is able to run inguz, is there a way to
apply the filter to create a filtered file that can then be played
without realtime processing?

Clive, good question.
IMO what the audio engineers said is just common sense. I agree it is
much better to treat the room to fix the bass problems.
One issue is that DRC or EQ (and I realise they are different) don't
fix the problem properly except in one area of the room. Room
treatments can al

Many years ago I asked on rec.audio.pro about DRC. I was especially
interested in using it to try and flatten the fairly modest bass dips &
humps in my room. The response I got - from quite a few experienced
professional sound engineers whose opinion I trust - is that DRC simply
does not work. The
