Confusion between REW, DIRAC and ART ?

[RaymondFromThePyrénéés]

Not easy to understand it all.

I first thought that REW was the only way to share sound on the screen here
and that there were other software for the sound corrections, and so on ?

And what about DIRAC compared to REW ?
Can I share screenshots with Dirac here just like REW ?

And then ART ?
It does cost a bit but seems very powerful ? and free with the MiniDSP if I understand right ?

You’re mixing very different things:

REW: tool to measure and visualize. Also has some aids to create filters that you can apply to a host of various DSP devices

DIRAC Live: all-in-one solution for room correction. It’s basically a single-click solution, offering a simple interface and more limited control.

DIRAC ART: is an advanced version of Live, using MIMO technology to better correct lower frequencies. The workflow is similar to Live

You can still use REW with DIRAC to validate the measurements.

super, thank you woodless. Sounds like Dirac Live Art is a good investment

It can be. You can get excellent results if you correctly follow the procedures.

But also note that ART is currently only available for AVRs, and maybe a handful of other stereo solutions in the future, possibly on the PC as well at some point. And it works best if you have many full-range channels.
