This loopback stuff is still going past my head. Could anybody please reiterate in which timing reference situations this method is needed? Because it's still unclear to me. So if one is not using any separate DAC and only one sound card interface doing all the conversion of both a to d and d...

Sounds amazing to me thanks. The other thing i always wondered was if the whole design of GIK alpha series where its altering shapes of the hole to create that modern circuitboard like design. But for some reason i do not think this will have as good performance as having all the holes be...

Hi I was wondering if anyone may be able to help solve an Acoustical issue for me for a new space I have to listen and monitor in. I'm wishing to get a better handle on perforated helmholtz panel absorbers. But alot of these online calculators including the Acoustical modeling one and the...

The whole point of active is so that each amplifier assigned to a frequency band range you feed it only interacts with one impedance load. And light years better sounding than passive if you ask me. And how most of the audio industry, maybe 95 percent of the industry still uses passive is in my...

And By you indicating a 30 Db or more variation, (why did you not write +/- 15 when you wrote +/- 3db for speakers?) you are including very acoustically unfriendly-shaped untreated rooms as a very invalid reference for this compare. After a room is treated with panels and bass traps, a...

I cant seem to find any literature on whether one can use a dome tweeter dome MTM configuration and forums have mixed opinions on this. Would like to try it with the peerless-gbs-115n25al01-04 aluminum domes! Can anyone please tell me if there would be some lobing issues as a result of this...

So once again I have been told by Parts Express that their Dayton measurement kit does room compensation for all the above discussed parameters but it only does so within a certain window so they still recommend treating as much as possible and with what i said I'm going to do in the room they...

What if I put large jenga-like random piles of foam on the floor in between the Mic and the speaker and replaced the drop ceiling tiles with special acoustic ones? (With a bunch of foam on top in behind up there too).

So in other words, applying room calibration the same way we applied soundcard calibration so that it factors in and takes away what the room is doing to measurements. If a soundcard calibration can exist why can't a room calibration file to account for everything? Basically a room correction...

Ok finally got it. I had to select DAW 1 as monitor output 1 in the extremely comlicated Saffire Mixcontrol panel. Major celebrations here. So now to finally learn all the testing methods for loudspeakers and what tests I should actually run. I hear data you get from the factory for speakers...

still nothing. Tried everything. I disabled input monitoring on the Saffire mix control. I have Input 2 (working from the mic when I do input monitoring to check) and I have the Left output which is Monitor output 1 selected. This is quite brutal.

Yikes! All this nice gear and can't get a sweep. Using an focusrite saffire pro 40 and on its own Saffire Mix control it says levels are going in and going ou in self monitoring my voice.. On REW preferences input one XLR mic and Output Left which is Output 1 on the Saffire going to Left...

In addition this tutorial i have found on youtube which seems to be legit says I dont need an SPL meter if one has even an entry level interface since they are built on a high level but the REW manual help section says I would ideally need one and that "An SPL meter is still ideally required to...

Am also here back to the drawing board as initially to play around for fun I was just using the laptop's own crappy built-in mic and crappy built-in speakers to do some toying around measurements of a room for sh#*s and giggles. But I have found a used Focusrite Saffire Pro 40 because of its...

I see... just would rather try to avoid what interference the ground may impart there. But what if i create a grille platform 1.5 foot tall with some minimal framing and mostly just wiring as the mesh and below that i can put a bunch of foam in there and i can go up to 1.5 foot tall platform...
