    Understood. My first mic was a umik-1 too. I also had inconsistency with the timing on that one. The Sonarworks was a great upgrade.

    If you are referring to the delay time after each measurement.... Extremely consistent. Either of the microphones are extremely consistent. Every time I do measurements I take at least 6, so that I can compare and root out the ones with strange anomalies. Never changes. 0.0 delay. I have a...

    So.... I ended up buying the M23 microphone. Using HQplayer, I was able to save both convolution files from each microphone, and compare them on the fly, and switching back and forth instantaneously. Could I hear a difference... YES. Does the convolution file from the M23 sound better...

    Ya, I appreciate your input. The microphone I bought, is supposed to be individually calibrated. I actually went on their Sonarworks website, and typed in a bunch of sequential serial numbers just so I could compare all the calibration files and see if there were slight changes in every file...

    Nice 👍 Also in HQplayers matrix profile, when I name the profile with the appropriate convolution files/settings.... I just randomly press keys on the keyboard without looking, so that I don't actually know what I'm saving each different convolution as. That way when I do comparisons, I don't...

    Yes you can. And yes, having all the filters the same volume when comparing is absolutely necessary....like you say. I'm not sure if other playback programs can do instant convolution switching on the fly but....without it, it's crazy how easily our brains start to take over on what we think we...

    Yeah, I noticed an improvement when I went from a umik-1 to what I have now. I'm just curious if the M23 will make a difference at all.... I might just take the risk. Cool thing is, with HQplayer.... You can switch convolution files on the fly. Takes a second to switch over, but makes comparing...

    Or maybe the m23 is overkill...you mentioned that Audiolense doesn't correct much after 20khz anyway, and my speakers only go down to 40hz(ish). What do you think?

    So....right now I'm using a STEINBERG UR12 for my mic pre, and a SoundID Reference XLR mic from Sonarworks. What mic and pre would be recommended as an upgrade? I was looking at a Earthworks M23 for a mic....but not sure what would be a better mic/pre then what I'm using. Any recommendations...

    Perfect, thank you. I was digging around in that menu.... But I couldn't really wrap my head around it. It's actually pretty easy. LOL

    Actually, I'll probably just have to find a settings file or something.... So I can delete it and then do a reinstall. Edit: OK, I can't find the right file to delete. Please help.

    Is there any way to reset the full zoom? For whatever reason, when I left click and hold to up-left full zoom, it only zooms back to show 1-13,500Hz. It's not letting full zoom out anymore.

    Awesome, very helpful....thanks. So...when it comes to high frequency extremes, the help file says the target should be "straight" at the extremes. I've also read that following your tweeters natural FR is recommended. But my highs fall off fairly rapidly passed 21kHz. Should my target trend...

    LOL...ya, I already made an adjustment to that to make it smoother, just didn't bother updating the picture. Should this be ok? I am zoomed out quite a bit.

    Oh sorry....the amount of bass drop-off. He says your target falls too rapidly and should not exceed 18dB per octave. So I made two targets, and just compared them by listening. One following his advice, and one where the target follows the natural bass fall off of the measurement, but...
