No sweep output when attempting calibration

There does not appear to be any sweep signal output when I attempt calibration. There are outputs when I take measurements but not calibration.

Thanks for the help on this

Current sweep recordings look pretty jittery/jagged and I am assuming the calibration might clear that up a bit.

Are you clicking the button to move on to the next steps of the process?

No, it shouldn't. Your audio interface will have some roll-off at the lowest and highest frequencies but should otherwise be very flat.

Did not click on next, clicked on check levels and it seemed to start. I will try that, thanks!

That worked. Next thing is how to loop things for calibration. Using the speaker output on the back of my PC, but not sure where that would be plugged into. Maybe the microphone jack right next to it. I am using a USB microphone if that makes a difference.

Soundcard calibration is not performed for USB microphones as there is no way to electrically feed the signal back through the mic and it isn't needed, they have their own cal file.

Got it. Does go for the sound card calibration as well? That being said, I am trying to see if I can "smooth out" the response graphs I am getting in the end.

Yes. You can smooth responses using the smoothing options in the Graph menu.
