Most of a rooms tuning should be done at the construction level. Like
unparallel walls. High ceilings, diffusors, and bass traps tuned inside of
the walls. Most of the EQ should not be done with an Alesis MEQ230 or
anything like that. An eq should only be used to move a few DB around. I
have a Behringher 24/96 that can inject pink noise into a room and with a
measurement mike the box does an automatic EQ with it's internal 64 band EQ.
It takes about 40min to run. I wouldn't think hand EQ of a room shouldn't
take more than a day. How many spots is he going to measure? Who is this
guy anyway? What software is he using?

He is using a flat reference microphone along with an Eq mastering
processor and is tweaking the room to the Nth degree. He claims that most
people don't understand the detail of what he is doing. LOL!
Of course his time is costing me money. But every time I have called him
on the carpet so to speak he has a rational that is believable. He is
also an honorable and moral man.
Thanks Glennbo!

My question is how long should it take to EQ a room that has been
sonically treated and is fundamentally a good room to begin with?
If you've got a hand held spectrum analyzer to *see* what the un-EQ'd
pink noise looks like, you should be able to make some quick EQ
adjustments to make what wasn't a flat line on the analyzer become a flat
line, at which point you have pretty flat response, and you obviously
want the most accurate spot in the room to be the point where you will be
mixing. An hour of pink noise and EQing would be starting to be
excessive IMO. I mean, if the spectrum display shows a 1k peak, duck the
1k band on the EQ until it doesn't. How long can that take?
