Yes, I personally think so. A (sinus) signal generator will give your the possibility to cover a large range of frequencies as you measure real-time SPL (with REW for instance) without changing tracks every time.

In my opinion, this tool is very useful to find peaks and valleys very quickly: keep looking at your real-time SPL measurement while you cover the frequency range you're interested in. You can easily go back and forth, adjust the speaker placement, level and phase.

One other problem with a test CD is that, by definition, it cannot reproduce all the frequencies and every track is time-limited. You don't have these problems with a signal generator.

Hope this helps !

Note: REQ also includes a very complete signal generator and it's very easy to use
Hi: Yes this helps. I was thinking if you got into a problem at a particular frequency, just stop the sweep, and fine-tune, or do whatever clever test you had up your sleeve.

Thanks
