No problem Jason J, no offense taken.
I am currently trying RoomEQWizard, which is a Java application. I am having problems running it with my SPL meter connected to my external USB sound card, even though I am using identical equipment to what's in the RoomEQWizard user's manual. I am getting no reading in real-time mode. The reading spikes when I plug/unplug stuff, but otherwise it doesn't appear to be detecting anything.

I have also tried EFT5. The only problem with EFT5 is that it is a windows app and it doesn't appear to run properly on Linux using the Wine emulator (it runs, but it doesn't recognize any of my sound devices). EFT5 is not cheap and my trial time already expired.

I also looked at WinMLS and it looks exactly like what I was looking for, except for one big problem: it would cost more than my Outlaw pre/pro. The room acoustics measurement suite (level 4) of winmls doesn't even have a price listed. Level 3 costs $499.

I'll keep playing with RoomEQWizard, since it is free and I have no time limit. I am running it on my IBM Thinkpad laptop running Mandriva Linux, recent kernel, latest java virtual machine, ALSA sound system. Everything on the laptop works fine. I am able to send sound to the Outlaw pre/pro just fine. I might have to try running it on a windoze box just in case it is a java virtual machine issue. It is also quite possible that there is something wrong with the signal from my SPL meter or my connection (although I am pretty sure mine does not use phono connections, but I'll double-check). That's why I was hoping someone here had already learned all these lessons and could share them with me.

Thanks for taking the time to reply.
