Ok, the way I understand it you use a room analyzing software like Rev together with a mic to get some type of room characterization file saved and then imported it into JRiver which then manipulate the sound in a way that compensates the room flaws? Is this correct?

Yes, that is the point... I am not using this feature (convolution) so I cannot provide more info...

There are different flavours of Room Correction.  The standard DSP Room Correction provides timing corrections to compensate for differences in speaker positions.  This will help to tighten up the sound stage.  Convolution is a very much more sophisticated solution which compensates for other room effects which impact on frequency response, reverberation etc.  With this, you use a microphone and software like Audiolense to analyse the room characteristics and create a filter file which is loaded into MC17 Convolution.  The effects can be stunning but it is far from straightforward!

There are threads on this forum which discuss this in considerable detail.

I see. Then it is convolution that I'm most interested in. Is it possible to create filter files in Room EQ Wizard (REW)? I'm more familiar with that software, and it's free =)

I haven't used REW.  I went for Audiolense which isn't free but is quite highly regarded.  There are several threads on Convolution on the forum, the most comprehensive is this one:

Good luck.
