  An over treated room ya say, I've yet to meet that monster. All the Gurus say that an Anechoic chamber is probably not what you want. But I can assure you that I want one very very much! Not for a home theater room, but I still really really want one. Cheers Gene 🍻

  Thank you so much!<br>I&apos;ve watched almost all of your videos and the others from your associates, on REW... and this is the first video I&apos;ve seen clarifying which rt60 option to use, and also what to look for. <br>Many videos have said rt60 is for larger rooms, but you&apos;re the first to explain rt60 decay in contrast. <br><br>Thank you so much.

  I know a lot of the users who are new to the community have been asking for this. Great video Gene! Anytime someone asks me “What’s a good place to start in terms of tweaks?” I always tell them precisely what you said, get a USB mic and REW otherwise you’re flying in the dark. One thing that obviously sets Audioholics apart from other audio sites is that the plethora of information available to us is based on quantifiable data. A rarity these days! I meant to add Gene. With a 7.4.6 setup in an L shaped room I’m at 500ms. I have diffusion, Auralex bass traps in the corners and am going to add just a small bit of absorption to the side walls.

  Hey Gene, it’s your Amazon guy here. &nbsp;Thank you for covering this topic. &nbsp;My room was completely over treated. &nbsp;I removed many of my treatments and got RT60 up to.338.

  Late thanks here, but man this video was just what I needed when I was trying to figure out how to measure RT60 with REW.<br>There aren&apos;t a lot of videos covering this, and none seemed to cover it step-by-step like Gene did!

  This was the best rt60 explanation i&apos;ve seen (2) total, but still.
