Is there a Windows-equivalent of the Sonic Studio Amarra? This product combines EQ measurement and an outboard sound subsystem, although it appears to be Apple only.

Ideally, I could plug a microphone into my existing M-Audio FW 410, and the software would make the room acoustics measurements, and then apply appropriate equalization settings to the digital bit stream on its way out to the FW 410.

The Room EQ Wizard and Neptune Audio seem to have part of the answer. I'd appreciate comments and suggestions.

As far as I know Room EQ Wizard does everything you'd ever need, plus several things nobody needs. What useful feature do you think it's missing?

Ethan,

Thanks for the reply.

BTW although I live in Hawaii, my parents' first house was in New Milford... they now live in Woodbridge.

I have REW running on my Vista machine (doesn't run under Windows 7, probably the installer is out of date) and it is working with my FireWire M-Audio FW 410 just fine.

However, my question is essentially related to system integration.

1. How do I apply the equalization curves?
2. The FW 410 has MIDI in/out, but I don't believe it can accept equalization curves
3. I'd prefer to do the equalization in the digital domain; do the BFD or TAG products do this?

Many thanks for your help...

After a little more reading, looks like what I want is convolver software that can accept the curves generated by REW and apply them in the digital domain within WMP.

Any recommendations? The environment will be Vista, and then Windows 7, once M-Audio gets their Win 7 drivers running.

My understanding is REW can send MIDI to a $100 Behringer equalizer, so the EQ is the only other thing you need. I've never done that because I'm not a fan of using EQ that way. But many others have done this successfully.
