Should I Sim my control room?

[pxpx83]

Hello all!

I am redesiging my studio control room (16 x 12) with a new layout and some acoustic paneling. I have access to a Meyer Sim 2 and I was wondering if this would be helpful when looking for trouble areas. Would it be too drastic to make eq tweaks across my nearfields based on the results from the Sim?

thanks in advance for your help!

Yes, trying to use EQ to fix acoustic problems is a bad idea that doesn't work. You need to fix acoustic problems acoustically.
