This is not a topic regarding ARC-systems,
What im looking for is a program that can sample over time and calculate the mean value and present the result from 20Hz-20KHz.
Im probably gonna use Broadband pink noise as source.
This is basicly to check the Freq response of my room, i guess a sine sweep would do as well. Anyone that has some inputs?
I know that Pulse from B&K can do that but a license and hardware for 8000€ is alittle to much for my budget =D

after a bit of reading, seems that correcting the sound of your room with EQ is not the way to go...nothing replaces the acoustical treatment

I designed my monitors specifically for the room I'm in now..I borrowed an Earthworks M30 measurement mic and put it at the listening position and played white noise at 90dB, recorded it back in and took screenshots of various analyzer plugins. Tweak, repeat x2139812.
The Behringer ECM8000 is an extremely cheap alternative if you don't have access to a really flat mic..you can get them for around $45 USD and see the response of the mic on Behringer's website..it's completely flat except for a +1.5dB boost between the mids and highs.
Recording the response of something in a room is no problem, it only becomes a pain when you have to record the response of the actual monitors. I'm not sure what software is out there anymore, but I know there are programs where you can use any full range mic and load a correction file for it, sort of emulating a completely flat mic.

This is why i want it to calculate the mean value over lets say 10-15 sec then you get a pretty good average.
Thanks for the link gutter, alot of good links on that website.

^You can do some cool stuff with Voxengo CurveEQ's spectrum capture..maybe not what you're looking for but I'd check it out.
