These sorts of tools distinguish themselves by identifying time-based issues e.g. RT60 and waterfall. Actually these are the issues I am addressing first (for slightly intuitive reasons) rather than frequency response. (And as an extra I hope FR will get better anyway when the time-based issues

It's actually the *XTZ* Room Analyzer, and IMHO, a wonderful tool. However, I'm still learning how to interpret all the graphs (especially the full range room response with RT60 calculations). It may not be as sophisticated as some other room analyzer software, but for an all-in-one-box
