| Re: Foray into REW... questions galore....
Wow, that was fast, thanks Bruce! You've pretty much echoed my opinions on the scans, I'm not sur eif I'm elated or disappointed at how not-too-bad they look, considering:
a) I like playing around
b) this was an input I never use
c) I never set up the eq's on this input
d) it's analog which I never use
e) etc...
So... yes, you're right on the SPL cal, which was a little frustrating (noone's fault but my own) in that once I set to what my ears told me was 75db, the check levels said it wasn't high enough, so I had to tweak values, and then went back and reset to 75db, probably not necessary, and probably worthless, if you're not going to cal to a real standard, why do it at all, but I did it, and I slept last night...
On the sub phase, I must've forgotten to mention, I have no sub, these scans were just the two towers... hmmm. I wonder what they look like separately...
Yes, I did a proper cal for the card and downloaded the ECM cal, I took the curves out of the pix for clarity but could repost if you're interested...
So what would a "bad" impulse look like, would it simply decay slower? Or would it have muktiple peaks?
If you say the waterfall looks quite good, maybe I'm misinterpreting it, I thought it looked like it needed a lot of work below 100 Hz... and then again between 180-220Hz... I know you're better off not Eq'ing every little peak and dip, but what do we look for? when you say ~40Hz, I assume we're talking the same one that I meaure at 33Hz... we're not concerned with 68Hz, 77Hz, or 100Hz? Why? If htis is quite good, what does a mediocre one look like? How about a poort one?
Reason I want to use the SPDIF out form the sound card is I use the SPDIF inputs on the AVR... Noone's figured out how to do a cal file yet? Noone's even faked one?
As for Vista, I don't mind struggling if it's a known issue, as long as I know it's not something stupid I'm doing...
