If you’re not familiar with FuzzMeasure, it’s a piece of easy-to-use acoustic measurement software. Its intuitive and easily navigable interface give users access to one-click measurements with support for Core Audio hardware and and multichannel devices and sample rates up to 192kHz.
Today, it’s makers, SuperMegaUltraGroovy, have announced FuzzMeasure 4, a major update to the software. Designed for Mac OS X Yosemite, FuzzMeasure 4 adds 50 new features and improvements. It now offers the ability to generate, analyse and publish graphs from swept sine audio and acoustic measurements.
FuzzMeasure 4 allows users to combine any of its 18 powerful graphs with any other — enabling thousands of different ways to visualize measurements in ways that were never before possible. Even FuzzMeasure's more advanced Waterfall and Reverberation Time (RT60) graphs can now be viewed and printed alongside the others.
"To be able to show both the Waterfall and RT60 graphs at the same time, without having to close one and then open the other, will save a lot of time as far as clients grasping the scope of problems in the space."
— Chris Owens, Studio Designer and Room Acoustician (Diplo, Atlantic Records, VICE, Disney Studios)
In this release, users will now also find additional acoustics graphs such as Clarity, Definition, as well as an improved Reverberation Time (RT60) calculation and separate Early Decay Time (EDT) graph. Furthermore, all fractional octave graphs can be visualized as filled line graphs as well as the classic bar style, enabling comparisons between measurements.
"At Flux Studios, we use FuzzMeasure to check and tune our current rooms regularly[...] After much tweaking by ear, we needed to confirm what we felt with real data. FuzzMeasure does it for us. It's part of our life long fanatic quest for the perfect sounding room."
— Fab Dupont, Producer and Mix Engineer (Shakira, Jennifer Lopez, Bebel Gilberto, Toots & the Matals)
In addition to professionals, FuzzMeasure has become popular among audiophiles and home theater enthusiasts around the world. To address this segment of the market, SuperMegaUltraGroovy has introduced a lower-priced home licensing option to address the needs of hobbyists. “FuzzMeasure grew out of a need that I discovered while building a set of loudspeakers for myself, so making it easier for more people to pursue their audio-related hobbies felt like the right thing to do” says Chris Liscio, SuperMegaUltraGroovy's President and FuzzMeasure's chief developer.
