While surfing the net I came across this Java based program. I haven't gotten into it too far, so I don't know how detailed it is, but it does seem useful.

Free acoustic measurement tool
Originally posted at johnlsayers.com, topic 9997.
REW is a very good program that's well known to the regulars here.
I had been searching for such a tool for a while. I'm glad it's useful. Hopefully I've saved others some time... 8)
I saw "frequent flyers" 8) Eric Desart and David French refer (*1) to another free software package they called DMF. The standard web searching didn't turn up any related results. Can anyone provide the link?
Cheers,
Sigert
(*1) The post I'm referring to:

Maybe you mean ETF? Look here:
www.etfacoustic.com
Nope. Not a typo, sadly. The thread mentions DMF several times (post 5 through 7).
David M. French=DMF
Brien,
:) You're both talking next to one another
The link YOU gave:
http://www.hometheatershack.com/roomeq/
is the SAME as REW Ethan referred,
and if you refer to David M. French, he loved REW (free), better than ETF (commercial), and did most of his experiments and work with it.
Hence in the context of your question:
http://www.hometheatershack.com/roomeq/ = REW = David M. French
Let me try and bring us back on track with a quote from that thread, posted on July 4th 2006...(*1) The post I'm referring to: http://www.johnlsayers.com/phpBB2/viewt ... hlight=rew
This post does refer to these tools as being different pieces of software. 1) ETF and RplusD (which are from the same company as I understand it) 2) DMF (our mystery guest... :lol: ) 3) REW (Room EQ Wizard) No valuable Google rewards from combinations of keywords such as DMF, acoustic, software, tool, freeware, measurement, ...:) And best of All, unlike ETF or R+D the new DMF program is freeware, it's a bit like REW, but with additional remote options.I use measurement primarily to: 1) gain insight into how much treatment is required and how it should be implemented. 2) aid in the placement of sources and receivers. 3) identify problems that predictive methods may fail to identify.
:) Now I completely understand what you're referring to

That was a joke of me: David liked to help people analyzing their room (he studied some acoustics and knew about related theory). For him it was a combination of helping people and learning. Hence numerous times he advised REW, while simultaneously he offered people to send them a sweep file which they just had to play and record, and send this recorded file back to him. Then David analyzed it in REW (via a freeware deconvultion tool or something???) and gave his conclusions and made very nice graphs for which REW is very good. Therefore I told that the best freeware was DMF himself. You just didn't get the software tools free, but in addition a clever guy doing the work and analysis for you. :mrgreen: But I doubt this combination was ever officially registered as a software tool. If you want to know more David is moderator at Recording Org. He certainly will explain whatever you want to know.If you'd prefer not to learn the software I can send you a test tone that you could record and give back to me for data analysis.
funny story :lol:
I was so used to taking you guys seriously, I completely missed the joke. Next time, just to make sure even I get it, start with "Two acoustic designers walk into a bar..."
Thank you very much for clearing that one up for me.
Cheers,
Sigert :P
...The one acoustics designer says to the other other acoustic designer: "What did you say?" :lol:"Two acoustic designers walk into a bar..."
Hey Jeff, you're also a deaf musician/acoustician?
:D
I don't know what that means so I'm going to have to trust ya ;)Brien, :) You're both talking next to one another
Nope. Not deaf. Just a joke about (too) noisy bars. My hearing is fine. OT: My theory is that no one hires deaf acousticians. I wouldn't, anyway. So, several years ago, I invested in some of these with both the 15 and 25 dB filters. Not suprisingly, I am often exposed to high sound levels. Since my ears are my source of $$, I protect my hearing religiously. I would recommend everyone here do likewise: Protect Your Hearing. Foam plugs are cheap; noise-induced hearing damage is permanent and irreversible. All the best,Hey Jeff, you're also a deaf musician/acoustician? :D
Brien, I'm really sorry, you're 100% right here, I accidentally misused your name here. I was looking for Sigert's name in his posts and, just plain stupid of me, mistoke your name. :cry:I don't know what that means so I'm going to have to trust ya ;)Brien, :) You're both talking next to one another
I have heard that type of thing before...Freudian slip I believe it was called?
:) No ...... Just my empty head ..... dissolving brain and stuff like that .... No problem Freud could have cured....Freudian slip I believe it was called?
It's cool man. If you can live with it, I can live with it :)
