IK Multimedia ARC 
Room-correction Software/Mic with Correction Plug-in
Correct Your Room and Get Better Mixes Instantly with ARC!
The IK Multimedia ARC room correction software system measures, calculates the acoustics in your room, then applies correction via an advanced EQ plug-in. Using an included profesionally calibrated measurement microphone, ARC (Advanced Room Correction) software measures your room's acoustics and formulates corrections. The system then uses a frequency/time-correction processing plug-in to work with your DAW, giving you a "corrected" environment every time. If you want the most accurate, optimum room for recording, use ARC to make it happen.

Every studio still needs great monitors along with proper acoustical treatment. But I'm amazed at what the ARC System can do to further compensate for your room's acoustics so that you can hear your mix the way it really sounds! A great solution for all studios!

Tuning your room as close to flat as possible is the foundation of having your songs sound good when you play them outside of the control room. Too many times I have heard untuned rooms effect the mi ... read more [+]x and make a good song sound amateurish. The ARC System is a very easy and effect way to flatten your room and you don't have to be an engineer to do it. It is automatic. It comes with a pencil reference mic, it could not be easier... close [-]

This is with out a doubt the software the every project studio must have, we have to face it our spare bedroom wasn't made to be a control room (until ARC came thru). this is one of those thing you wi ... read more [+]ll use day in day out and get great results.
At first i was sceptic about it and the fact that i couldn't try it before i bought it was a bit scary, finally i decided to give a try and place the order received it few days later ran the installers and took 20 Measurement of my room my girl happen to be with me at the time i was doing this and looked at me like if i was crazy, but as soon as i put Arc in pro tools she ask me what did i do because she could now hear the music way better, (she was laying down in the couch about 7-8 feet behind my chair).
do your self a big favor instead of buy a great set of plugins to mix, get arc this will give you an accurate listing environment to start with therefore allowing you to really hear what's going on in your mix and this will make you a better engineer. close [-]

I did research for about a month before buying this unit, everybody seemed to be happy about it so i decided to try it, and WOWWWWW let me tell you what a difference! after you mix and export your tra ... read more [+]ck (cubase 4) mixing with the ARC on if you import the track on your ipod and listen to it you will hear the clarity on your mix, i used to mix and then export the track again and again and again and importing it on my ipod and playing it back on my dvd player and on the stereo in the living room and the car all of this just to make sure the mix is good, with ARC i can now mix and export and then listen to it anywhere and the sound is incredible, i would recommend you to mark the floor when you do the measurements place masking tape around, measure the distance between your monitor and place tape between them then measure different spots so it you get a great test, also give it a good mesurement, do 20+ close [-]
