Electronic "tuning" DOES NOT WORK! No amount of filtering. EQ. or delays will correct for physical properties of a listening room. You'll only be cranking around the music recording to suit a meter or FFT analysis - and IT NEVER SOUNDS RIGHT!BTW, pink noise is NOT music. A system set up with pink noise does not automatically mean music will sound correct in the room. I start with pink noise as a basic measuring starting point to get the playback levels in the ball park range. I then play a series of music "test pulses" (i.e. edited high rez music transients of various lengths to reveal a room's response in different areas). This is especially useful in multi-channel surround system setup. Using pink noise only gives false results as the noise is a relatively constant state source - music is a transient state source with instantaneous peaks and valleys.
I work in lots of difficult-to-impossible rooms employed as recording control rooms. The ONLY way to help a listening room is to change its physical characteristics with a careful combination of diffusion, traps and/or controlled absorbtion. I rely on RPG materials, especially the B.A.D. Panels, to do this best.
Less is More!
