WOW!
 
I did a Q&D 7 point measurement just to make sure everything is fully functional.  Dropped into my current project and I can't believe what a difference it makes.
 
I generally get compliments on my mixes, and there are only small tweaks I would make with ARC enabled to boost the bottom end a bit (I apparently have my sub a little hot), but everything sounds great with a flat target.  It's like a wet blanket has been lifted off of my monitoring system.
 
I need to do a proper set of measurements before I change anything, but DAAAMMMM - this sounds phenomenal!  I imported some commercial tunes to A/B with/without ARC enabled.  WOW.  Now I know why sharke has everything routed thru this.
 
I'm stoked

Yep. It's black magic for sure.

The more measurements you do the better it gets as well, so make sure you do all 13-14 or however many it suggests. The bottleneck in taking the measurements is getting the mic set up and the positions taped out on the floor - once you've gotten that done the actual measurement process goes quite quickly no matter how many you take.

ARC 2 was one of my best purchases ever.

I'm glad the Q&D turned out so well.  Now I'm motivated to get my slide rule out and spend quality time with it.
 
I added a sub to make up for lack of bottom end and I thought everything was sounding pretty good.  I think I'll run it twice, with and without the sub (my monitor are Event PS8s, front ported).  I may not even need the sub.  I guess I'll find out
 
I'm anxious to try recording acoustic with this mic too.
