Fuzzy LogicįuzzMeasure is a supremely clean-looking application. You can, of course, use it to analyse the frequency response of studio hardware as well, though unlike specialised, purpose-built test equipment, it will be dependent on the behaviour and specs of your audio interface.

SuperMegaUltraGroovy’s FuzzMeasure 4.0 is OS X-only software that analyses recordings of self-generated sine sweeps to produce an array of graphs and charts, designed to reveal different aspects of room behaviour. What many studio DIY-ers would find useful is more hard data, and that’s where the subject of this review comes in. Some loudspeaker manufacturers will also sell you relatively expensive proprietary room-correction systems, the value of which is not universally agreed upon. That traditionally leaves a few options, including ‘hit and hope’ installation of acoustic treatment products, trying to subjectively judge level changes in slow sine sweeps, or measuring room size and letting physics dictate which frequencies and locations could be worst affected. The problem of course is that few home- and small-studio owners can justify the expense of bespoke design by a professional acoustician.

And if achieving that justifies a few Hobnob-related calories, so much the better. Having a good room to mix and track in, with excessive bass energy absorbed and standing waves and flutter echoes dispersed, can make a world of difference to the final quality of the mixes that emerge from it. If there’s something we’ve all learnt from the pages of SOS over the years, it’s that for most studios, well-judged acoustic treatment matters at least as much as gear, and perhaps even more so. The first step towards treating room acoustics is identifying the problem areas - and that’s where FuzzMeasure can help.
