Quick home studio monitor tests

[supahd]

first sample. i have a massive peak at 25 sec...now i need to find out what frequency that is, but how!?

EDIT: haha, ok just used an analyser. me=FAIL!

So is this something you guys are just doing by ear? Listen for a resonance and visually id the freq on an analyzer etc? Ergo.. How do?

Thanks

Bumping this thread for all the dudes who've not seen it, or have moved/ changed their set up since using it last.

I just set up my new room today. Was quite pleased with the imaging results compared to the room I previously used, but jebuz that Sine sweep is still a killer. I have issues all through the sweep

Awesome!

I still have no real monitors and my mixing "room" is probably the worst ever. Still want to try this out.

Room EQ Wizard (REW) for measuring! It's free (you only have to register)! -> http://www.hometheatershack.com/roomeq/

(Despite the recent upheavals and whatnot it really is worth it to browse through the topics at gearslutz' studio building / acoustics forum)

What do you guys think about putting this in a DAW, using an EQ to make the low end balanced on the master mix, and then putting the EQ at the end of a complete mix? Thinking of using it as a ghetto quick fix until I get room treatment.

I wouldn't. I'd rather use headphones, check the mix elsewhere etc.
