Few question before start.

Hello All!
I want to make room measurements for my home theater (and correction off course ) with REW. I ordered UMIK-1.
But now as have some time before it's arrived, i thought, do i need external SPL meter for measurements?
And about UMIK, how do you think should i use antivibration handler like this for it?

 

[John Mulcahy]

UMIK's are calibrated and can provide SPL readings, you don't need an external meter. Best mounting the mic on the end of a boom, the less mounting hardware around it the better as reflections from the mount will affect the high frequency parts of the measurement.

I see. Thank you.
So umik is capable to measure SPL with good accuracy?

 

[John Mulcahy]

Yes.

 

[Poulk]

Thank you!
So no fancy mic holder, only simple stand like this, is good to go?

 

[John Mulcahy]

Yes, looks good.

You'll probably need an adapter like this to fit the UMIK mic holder to that stand. Check sizes before ordering....

Hello Again.
I got my mic, but now i can't make any measurements with REW
It's simply don't work...
Last stable version shows me after few minutes of work picture like this

The latest beta is just crash any time i try to make a Measure
The operating system is W10 with all latest updates. I install JRE and update it.
So really IDK why it's work like this.
Any idea how to make it work?

 

[John Mulcahy]

See the sticky on graphics problems.

 

[Poulk]

I will try it. But seems now in the last beta it's something else. I check video fix.

 

[John Mulcahy]

What do you mean by "just crash" with the latest beta? What happens? What is in the log files?

 

[Poulk]

It's mean. Then you start the measurement process, just at begin then it produces a tone, the program just disappears (close) no crash report. nothing.
I don't look at the log. There REW keeps it?

On Windows the logs are in a folder called REW in your home directory. Their location is shown in the About REW dialog. Must be something pretty catastrophic to kill the whole runtime.
