Ok, my first post.... here it goes.
I've been using an Alesis M-EQ 230 for correction since I was 18 (I'm 27 now). It's been an excellent piece of hardware. It's a 2-channel (32 bands per channel) +/-12dB equalizer that I bought from Musician's Friend way back when. The system I'm correcting is a simple 2.1 system that I've had for just as long, although the mains have since been upgraded. I'm more into music than I am into movies, thus the simple system.
I've read through the Help file and am curious if there is anything additional I need to know, or that would be helpful, in using REW to correct my system.
Additionally, I have been using a Radio Shack 33-4050, for a meter and mic, since 2004. Also a great tool.
