Haha! Welcome to the hobby of home theater. Not all of us can have Dennis Erskine come build our home theater. We all have to actually learn stuff

J-Mac,
Thanks: you sent me back to school with that T60 line... now REW is playing hard to get before I even get her home... apparently she wants an edjamakated man... luckily at the rate of my present economy, I'll be able to woo her by the time my equipment arrives...

BTW: I saw this quote below on AVS Forum, is it true? I am still yet to downgrade my ChromeBook to a PC... so I cannot see this for myself...

"If I'm not mistaken the eq tool in REW has a whole tab for modal resonances and you can input room dimensions and it will calculate room modes and T60 times."

Thanks!

It does have a feature called "Room Sim." You input your dimensions of your room, place your speakers, give your seating position, crossovers, ect. and it will calculate room modes and give you an estimation of frequency response based on those room modes. It's actually been pretty accurate for me. So, I would assume the same for you if you have a rectangular room. As far as T60 goes -- it does not estimate that. The only type of time domain estimation is in the EQ feature. It will allow you to apply EQ and estimate what the effect would be in the time domain if the EQ was applied.

J-Mac, You have 2 Mother Earth Imperial Stouts on account next time you're in San Diego (about 30min south of Ascend). How long have you been tweakin' on REW anyway?
