The purpose of room correction is to improve your
monitoring.
So if it's done well, your monitors plus room plus correction
become the reference. The whole point is that the correction
provides better monitoring, and then there is no reason to
ever switch it off, regard it as 'temporary', or think that
without correction you'd get a better mix. It becomes part
of your studio, and users shouldn't even know it's there.
I see. Setting this up would include playing sine waves of various
frequencies and detecting room behaviour, so to speak.
Of course you could set up a room correction by
manually
tweaking things until you get a more pleasing result on
an existing mix, but by doing that you'd just be fooling
yourself. That's not how it should be done.
That's clear.

Use the measurements and procedures as explained in
the DRC
manual. You end up with two (for stereo) impulse responses
which can be used by any convolution engine, e.g. jconvolver.
Googling this gives 'Digital Room Correction'. There is a sourceforge
project:

Can you briefly describe what DRC consists of and what does the
procedure consists of ?
