Room Acoustic Software


It has been a while since CARA came out and became known to Audiogon. I am wondering if anyone has used this product or any other room acoustic software that could comment on your take on the features and use, necessary computer power, and your satisfaction of the output.

I was just considering this stuff, as it looks like I'm stuck in my "temporary" room for much longer than I had originally planned. I have an all-MartinLogan speaker system and I note that there isn't much in the way of ML's in the CARA library. Is that reasonably easy for me to overcome?

I guess my biggest question is "how does one use it?" I don't speak the acoustic language well, and I am hoping that the software speaks "human" in some way that mere mortals can understand. This isn't too clear from the web page. The problem really is that I don't know precisely what it does, so I don't have a mental picture of how I'd apply it. Do I use it to achieve a particular type of surface? etc.

I have fast computers, but I am confused about the input requirements. I believe that my IBM Thinkpad T30 has the required line-level input - does anyone know?
