Here's a tech note about data windows written in the v5 days, the info is still relevant.Īs far as the multi-mic question - Tim is absolutely correct. We don't put these settings on the top level of the interface for the sake of simplicity. Our default settings are the derivation of over 20 years of system engineering and development of the Smaart platform, so changing them around can get a bit dicey if you don't know exactly why you are changing them. After that it's just a matter of choosing the parameters you wish in the measurement options/configuration dialog window (depending on which parameters you wish to tweakify). That being said, both Smaart DI or v7 can get as tweaky as you want - you just have to know what you are doing - or more importantly in this case.why. In fact, DI was purpose built to be streamlined it's nimble and quickly adaptable interface is built for users to make precise measurements quickly when the need for v7's multi-measurement and multi-mode complexity is not paramount.

In the end Smaart just works for me, for one mic or four, and while I could certainly spend a lot of time changing windows and IR sizes - the tools are there - it's the only software I have come to trust to get me data minutes after turning my laptop on and be done ASAP. The program definitely benefits from their regular training seminars as well, I think Smaart is exposed to more users in more situations than other software and so I find it can shine in more cases for me. Smaart also has an active and extensive beta testing group who are constantly finding and documenting small inconsistencies that are probably not even seen by the majority of their users. So while it has very technical guts (there's more to building even a simple RTA than you might believe, and it's easier to get frequency binning wrong than you might think) the surface is designed for what I need it for: It lets me get good measurements very quickly. What I like about Smaart, and version 7 is by far the best, is that it is written and supported by field engineers.

I have limited experience with Systune, to be honest, I have banged around in it a few times to see how it compares but never used it in anger.

Long time Smaart guy (well, not THAT long but maybe a decade) here.
