Week 4 EOC There's an app for that

For Audio engineers there are a lot of charts and graphics that need to be read before you purchase a new Microphone or speaker. The Polarity or the polar response of frequencies of that particular microphone or speaker tells an audio engineer how well it picks up and put out certain frequencies. Therefore I believe there should be an app that shows any or all Microphones/ Speaker polar responses, when you think about it the choices in mics and speakers are endless you can try out so many combinations  of different frequencies and choices so if you just purchased a new blue microphone and it’s a tube condenser microphone a app that could show you it’s polar response chart  would be very useful to any audio engineer. Live sound engineers would use this app more often than any due to the fact that acoustic environments change every night for a live sound engineer if this app were to be created lots of doors would open and I believe that live audio can be an even more perfected art than  it is right this second. Also speakers they need to be checked correctly before being sold knowing the polar response of a certain speaker would help the choice in buying the right proper speakers for, the studio or at a live concert venue or out door festival event such as the many that take place in Vegas every night. Having that knowledge of  that  would make a head audio engineer or FOH engineers job much easier knowing that he made the right choice in speakers for that nights show. In conclusion I believe that a polar response App should be made very soon and made for all smartphones and computers it, I even feel it should be built in to other DAW’s or mixing boards.
