.mic file not accepted

1574 Views 5 Replies 5 Participants Last post by  albyrne5
I have two mics available.
One has a .dat file, which is recognized in mic/meter preferences.
The other is an Earthworks mic with a .mic file.

When the .dat file is brought up, the data is present.
With the .mic file the panel is empty.

Thinking the file (2008) might be corrupted I downloaded the file again, to no avail.
In the past the .mic file has been recognized by REW.

I'm now using beta 19.

Any thoughts?

You could contact Earthworks or where you purchased the mic.

When you get the correct data just copy and paste into a notepad file and import into REW.

What is the Earthworks model, i believe there mics are very accurate without a cal file.
Like Phillips said, contacting Earthworks might be my first go-to option .

( They really shouldn't be handing out microphone calibrations encased/captured in such an obsolete old file format . )

"Google" Microsoft Image Composer for a bit of education about what the .mic extension stands for .

Alternately, you can download this ( unsupported old MS ) program , open the file , copy & paste the text into a text editor & then save as a .txt file, for easier use by REW .

Here's the MIC application for download ( while not my upload, I've checked it for viruses & tenability on WinXP-SP3 ) .

:sn:
On the file dialog change the "files of type" selection from "Calibration Data (.cal, .csv, .frd, .txt, .omm)" to "All files". There won't be a preview of the contents of a .mic file as REW doesn't recognise the extension.
I've obtained the file in .txt format.
All good now.
Thanks.
Hi there, can you explain how you managed to get a useable text file from a .mic file please? I am having the same issue.
