A subsequent sweep (coloured red) with the lid closed looks a lot cleaner in the time domain.ДЇuzzMeasure can show multiple curves on a single graph, allowing measurements to be directly compared.Once youвЂ™ve gathered multiple Measurements - perhaps from before and after repositioning acoustic treatment, or relocating your monitors or listening position - you can then name them descriptively. But that was before I noticed IвЂ™d accidentally left the lid of my harpsichord open, with some strings undamped (as you do). YouвЂ™ll also probably think, as I did when I generated it, what a hideously bad room IвЂ™ve got, with gobs of low-end and mid-range resonance. It is, in effect, multiple frequency response curves layered to show how the room responds to a theoretically instantaneous impulse, over the course of three seconds (in this example). If youвЂ™ve the slightest familiarity with these kinds of test plots youвЂ™ll realise that the top вЂFFT WaterfallвЂ™ by itself represents a sophistication and density of data that could only be dreamt of by the poor soul sat listening manually to sine sweeps or test tones. Remembering to close the lid of the harpsichord can make a surprisingly large difference to the shape of your waterfall plot! And on the left is a list of the measurements themselves, every one derived from its own separate sine sweep. The tabbed sidebar at the right-hand side gives information and configuration options for individual measurements or graphs. TheyвЂ™re easy to create, reorder and delete.

Three graphs fitted comfortably on my screen for this shot, but in fact any number can be open concurrently, and are then just a scroll away. The exact provision of graphs in the central column is a matter of personal choice, but there are also some preconfigured templates such as вЂStudioвЂ™ and вЂLive SoundвЂ™ on hand to get you started. The screenshot shows a typical FuzzMeasure view.

One of its windows represents a single вЂ.fume4вЂ™ document, which contains the audio recordings associated with one or many sine-sweep measurements, as well as all the various customisable visual analyses that go along with it. Fuzzy LogicДЇuzzMeasure is a supremely clean-looking application. You can, of course, use it to analyse the frequency response of studio hardware as well, though unlike specialised, purpose-built test equipment, it will be dependent on the behaviour and specs of your audio interface.

SuperMegaUltraGroovyвЂ™s FuzzMeasure 4.0 is OS X-only software that analyses recordings of self-generated sine sweeps to produce an array of graphs and charts, designed to reveal different aspects of room behaviour. What many studio DIY-ers would find useful is more hard data, and thatвЂ™s where the subject of this review comes in. Some loudspeaker manufacturers will also sell you relatively expensive proprietary room-correction systems, the value of which is not universally agreed upon. That traditionally leaves a few options, including вЂhit and hopeвЂ™ installation of acoustic treatment products, trying to subjectively judge level changes in slow sine sweeps, or measuring room size and letting physics dictate which frequencies and locations could be worst affected.

The problem of course is that few home- and small-studio owners can justify the expense of bespoke design by a professional acoustician. And if achieving that justifies a few Hobnob-related calories, so much the better. Having a good room to mix and track in, with excessive bass energy absorbed and standing waves and flutter echoes dispersed, can make a world of difference to the final quality of the mixes that emerge from it. If thereвЂ™s something weвЂ™ve all learnt from the pages of SOS over the years, itвЂ™s that for most studios, well-judged acoustic treatment matters at least as much as gear, and perhaps even more so. The first step towards treating room acoustics is identifying the problem areas - and thatвЂ™s where FuzzMeasure can help.
