Thanks for all of your responses! Enlightening :D
Fons: Thanks for the info! My room is sadly fairly small and cubic (and
sounds rather horrible as it is now). The good part though (I think it's
good at least..) is that I won't be recording anything that bassy, and my
monitors are small. That should at least make the risk of a boomy room a
little bit lower, right? I'm planning on building 4-8 absorbtion panels
(120 x 60cm, 10cm deep with 5cm thick rock wool) which should help some
with the mid/high at least. But if that doesn't turn out good enough, I
guess I'll need to look into some fancy DIY solution for the low end
(current contender is stuffing the corners from floor to ceiling with rock
wool too). That's a bit more labour intensive though, so I'm trying to
avoid it...
Any thoughts on that? Am I going about it right/OK, or should I attack this
problem some other way?
Also, thanks for the info about Japa. I've noticed those controls on Japa
before but never known what they are for. I'm going to test this right away
tomorrow.
Thanks again!

Hi!
I'm in the midst of trying to treat my room acoustically, and I really
want
to do measurements of my room acoustically. Of
course, I know way too
little about this, and therefore, I need your help as always! ;) (if you
reply to this e-mail, imagine I'm 5 years old when you explain stuff).
So, what I have is this:
- A set of studio monitors (Adam A3X)
- A microphone (Senheiser MK4)
- A room...
- My studio computer with Linux
What I want to do, roughly, is this:
- Through a test tone(? test sound?) measure the frequency "response" of
the room. I want to get a nice curve, like an equalizer, which tells me
roughly how my room responds to the different frequencies.
- I want to do this before and after I apply treatment.
So, my question is: How on earth do I do this?! Are there FLOSS tools
available for this? Is it easy to do something as basic as this?
Try DRC (Digital Room Correction). http://drc-fir.sourceforge.net/
There are scripts to help the measurement. But, it's not all plug
and play.
You can also try Room EQ Wizard (REW) http://www.roomeqwizard.com/
Which is free software, but no open source.
Cheerio...
