i want to try to measure my speakers. ive got a tascam dr-05 handheld audio recorder. could i record my speakers playing a sweep and have some sort of software give me a frequency response chart from that? i also have the little dayton audio mic for tablets, the imm-6, if that would be easier or work better. never opened it. id prefer to not have to buy an app, but i could if its the best way. need simple and user friendly, dont have the patience for anything complicated.
You need a sound source.
I have a frequency response cd -maybe some sort of files are availaible in the internet.
Then you can start to measure.
And use your your ears.

Haven't you heard of Google Search?
Tablet programs are very limited, a second hand pc-computer with Windows 8/10 will cost the same and is much more versatile!

REW is just fine and easy for just measuring and analyzing! It is not ideal for getting data for a simulator program, but I think that it is the most user-friendly for analyzing a speaker or room response eg. different placement of speaker/listener. It's Help feature is very good! Warmly recommended!
For starters just try a spectrum analyzer app on your phone/tablet and play some pink noise through your speakers.
The results are not necessarily easy to interpret, but it is something.

i was thinking about a mini dsp, but, i think rabbit hole sounds about right. i went ahead and got audio tools for my tablet. speakers seem to be +/- 5 db from 15k down to 40, where i listen to them, so im going to leave well enough alone. is there a program that will give me a graph from an audio file recording of a sine sweep?
The programs I mentioned above can read/import many types of files, including .wav and .aiff just try!
From your listening position you are measuring both the speakers and the room.
Here are a couple of articles on the limitations of DSP, from REW and Elliott Sound Products

cool, thanks, i'll give it a try. I just figure my 100$ audio recorder must have a better mic than my 17$ mic for the tablet.
