hi,
my rectangular room has low-end room nodes.
- in SoundID Reference, should i apply 100% wet calibration to correct for those nodes?
- are there any consequences to applying 100% wet calibration? does the room start to sound unnatural (since every listening environment provides some amount of coloration)?
- rather than using a flat target, is it better to use a custom profile with high-Q bell curves applied only to the nodes?
- if the goal of SoundID Reference is a flat frequency response, what's the purpose of the dry/wet knob?
- let's say i've corrected for my room nodes, and i'm playing [altered] signal through my monitors. are those room nodes canceled out, which means i hear a flat frequency response at my listening position?
- completely cancelled nodes and a perfectly flat response seems maybe too good to be true. there are also plenty of professional, big-name engineers who don't use calibration, and therefore probably don't have a perfectly flat response in their room. and their mixes still translate really well. why wouldn't these engineers use calibration?

even though i just started using SoundID Reference, i'm thoroughly impressed, and i just want to say thanks to everyone involved in releasing this product :)
best,
nick
