This thread is a continuation-but-not of my thread last year regarding multi-input SPL calibration.
Since then two things have changed:
1) I ended up getting an inexpensive microphone calibrator.
2) I picked up a Motu 8Pre interface to expand to up to 8 channels.
However, I can't figure out how to calibrate levels for channels 5-8.
What I do for 1-4 is use the "Calibrate" button in the SPL Meter applet, and set all mics to 94dB. However, there are "only" 4 SPL meters. So that won't work for 5-8.
What's the preferred workflow for calibrating >4 mics to equivalent relative SPL?
