[QUOTE="Jimi77, post: 8796905, member: 673702"] I've used an RTA, IMHO they're just a PITA. Like I said earlier, mine is just sitting around gathering dust. If you're competing and need the flattest possible response, then you need an RTA for your score. Keep in mind flat doesn't doesn't sound good to most people or Audio Technica and Beyer Dynamics would be leading sellers of headphones instead of Beats, Sony, Bose, JBL, etc. You don't need to be an audio engineer to listen to a sine sweep to hear the peaks and valleys. You don't need to be an audio engineer to listen 1/3rd octave pink noise tracks to be able to tell tracks 13-15 were significantly louder than other tracks and you need to address it. It helps to have years of experience to understand why tracks 13-15 were louder and how you might address that, but RTA isn't going to help you with that. As a matter of fact, I'd say there is significant value in listening to test tracks and doing it by ear as it helps you correlate what you're hearing in your music and why it does or doesn't good. And as I'm typing this some A-hole is blasting his 10kw system and literally rattling my coffee cup. :mad::coffee: [/QUOTE]
