"SMAART (short for Sound Measurement Acoustical Analysis Real Time) was the first dual-channel measurement platform made to work with non-proprietary computer and audio I/O hardware, effectively bringing these tools to the masses. Last year, Rational Acoustics released SMAART version 7 (new license, $895; upgrades $450-$650), which is more efficient than predecessors and was built using object-oriented code architecture (meaning that the data gathering engines and display functions, for example, are now treated as separate modules). This allows for a tremendous increase in flexibility for setting up multichannel measurements; computer hardware is now the only factor limiting the number of measurements that can be run simultaneously."

Conversely, the end of a recording project is almost always the most taxing and the least rewarding part. This is exacerbated by the shift to focusing on the individual; the endless detail and minutiae of editing; the seemingly infinite mix tweaks allowed by our DAWs; and so on. Oddly enough, it's the requisite rough mixes during a project that are often the pivotal point: the fulcrum between peaceful group-think and the compromise of personalities and artistry that actually completes records."
