I am not a computer person and I am not up on the latest computer applications for audio.
In preparation for the installation of a new stereo I would like to develop some competency to be able to measure myself the frequency response of my listening room.
I am writing to inquire if someone has tested and evaluated any of the numerous audio frequency spectrum analyzer programs available for Mac computers. I am looking for one which is accurate and optimized for the kinds of frequency response and room acoustics measurements us audiophiles want to make. I do not care whether it is free or for sale -- I just want to try to identify an accurate and simple-to-use program which will allow me to observe and measure the frequency response of my room using test tones so I can see dips or peaks which may require correction.
Recommendations for microphones would also be appreciated.
I am more interested in quality than in cost, so please feel free to make your recommendations based more on accuracy and quality and ease-of-use (I am good with all manner of devices with buttons, dials and switches, but I get very frustrated with computers) rather than value.
Thank you!
