Hi,

How do you compare measurements from the same MLP, same room, same furnitures before and after creating IR filters and applying filters with CamillaDSP? Does it takes a separate computer with REW?

I'm asking because I took a new set of measurements and made certain by monitoring with helvum and Camillagui that the measurement signals from REW were routed through the speaker filters. I compared that with my initial measurements I made 1 day earlier without any DSP treatment.

I expected to see what should have been corrected (A/B). Since I can hear the diffference, and it's huge, I imagine I would see it too. To my surprise, the curves were identical. Once smoothed to 1/6, they were still perfectly superimposed!

Am I missing something?

Well, maybe I was not totally awake, I did that first thing after waking up. I will need to redo the experiment to determine what went wrong because I did it again on windows this time and clearly had the results that were expected: traces following the target curve within 5 dB. It's not considered hifi, a 2dB difference is audible, but it's better than the original 15-20 dB swings.
