I personally use analog magic at home and at audio shows. It is a great tool for setup and I definitely notice the difference. But, as you say, it is a lengthy process to do properly, as you have to go back and forth to fine tune every step. Watching the tutorial videos on https://www.analogmagik.com/turntable-setup helps considerably. I know at least one turntable setup person, Dr. Vinyl, who uses this software when he sets up turntables for his clients. I am not an expert, by any means, but this software works great for me.
