I would say my room is much worse. Many tests run all with similar results.

clint, mine is at least that bad...
forgot to grab a screen shot, i'll post it tonight...
 
i'm working on my 'before and after' now, i have a 16 bit wav file unmastered, i may try to compare that....

ohgrant, yours MAY be worse than mine!
 
LOL
 
 
i may rearrange my whole room, to see if i can get a better curve.
 
 

I knew I wasn't hearing all of the lowend before ARC 2. My room is completely untreated, but I am able to get everything symmetrical. I'm pretty thrilled with the end results. I measured 3 times and it was pretty consistant each time. My monitors are Roland DS-8s...I really don't know how good they are compared to others, but I'm used to them.

 Yea, I'm pretty sure I won the crapiest room lottery, I'm just lucky that way :(
I guess it would be impossible for me to even get the results I'm getting now if I weren't using ARC and the VRM box to audition.
 
 Which still leaves the big question in my head, how on earth did you obtain such pristine mixes with a bad room? Learn to adjust to the deficiencies of the room?
 
 Looking forward to the before and after tunes. Hopefully your assessment of the effectiveness of ARC. Sorry so many requests

ohgrant

yes, I learned to adjust...
 
i spent a lot of time doing mixes, analyzing what i did using HARBAL, going back and readjusting until i was getting what i thought was a balanced mix...
checking low end with extended-bass ear buds....
listening to a LOT of pro mixes thru my monitors, and learning the room.
 
i had a sweet spot set up between my monitors, where i had the least amount of 'room' effect, and i learned what i needed to do to more or less dial in my low end.
 
 
now, i've got to start over.
LOL
 
 
hopefully, it wont take me as long to re'learn my room.
 

I am in a fortunate situation.
 
You see, I am relatively new to this, and have only mixed in my room for about 10 songs. Then I acoustically treated the room and mixed about three songs.
 
I am also relatively new to this in general.
 
So, it sounds like NOW is the time to get ARC 2.
 
No bad habits to correct and very little re-learning, as I already don't know what the hell I am doing.
 
I am eager to hear the before and after mixes to determine what benefit this has as it applies to what I can or can't hear regarding the mixes made before and after ARC 2.
 
Thanks.

 Yea Jason, sounds like you're on the right track getting a custom made PC from Jim and taking care of the room issues before they have a chance to spoil a recording session.

It is a great time to as the sale is going on. Honestly before and afters don't help as much as you'd think. ITs about being able to clearly hear. Sure, you could technically get a decent mix without ARC and acoustic treatment. But you'd be guessing a lot and you'd have a lot of corrections to do along the way. It'll take you far longer and hinders you from doing what you are capable of with ARC.

ik obi is right..
 
i really don't think you are going to hear much difference in my final product, whether it was done thru ARC2 or not.
 
 
but you might hear, is me talking about how much faster and easier it was to get there.
