Re: calibrating a firewire external sound card?


Ok got it... I hate plugging directly from ins to outs. But THANKS! ...it worked. Next problem is still the same though. When I do a measurement it tells me that the input is too low so a ctrank up the amp and the sound is piercing but it says too low, reading is about -50 to -40. I still get readings but not sure if they mean anything because of this. I will upload my soundcard graph and new plot. For some reason I get an "error on page" when I try to add an atatchment using this computer. I turned off pop-up blocker, but that did not help. And, Yes after this it is on to the mic!

That’s the correct connection scheme, but for measuring, not for calibrating the soundcard.

If you’re trying to calibrate the soundcard, you’ll need to loop a cable between the main output and the channel strip you intend to use, as indicated in Item #1 in the REW help files for Calibrating the Soundcard.

There should not be a mic connected, or a connection to the sound system, until later when you’re ready to measure.
