Ok. Third time's a charm. Right? I believe I got the sound card calibrated this time. Please confirm.

Thanks,

Howie

Thanks Stuart. You're right. I realized after I posted that it was not correct. I tried my original settings on another computer and I got the same results as the one I first posted. So I think it is the Pyle soundcard. So I will pick a Steinberg UR24c digital audio interface from our local music st...

Paul,

I think your suggestion of setting the output in OS preferences to Pyle worked. Can someone confirm this?

Thanks,

Howie

what measurement mic are you using? I

Dayton Audio EMM-6.

Thanks so much Paul. I will try both tonight.

Hey Stuart,

So I have tried all sorts options on the soundcard calibration and I continue to get the same results or worse. I also can't find any EQ on the computer. So I am thinking I need to try a different soundcard or different computer. Any other ideas?

Thanks,

Howie

please see if you can figure out why your soundcard calibration is off, and also why there is no low end coming out the speakers. In both cases, I suspect some for of EQ is being applied... Below is the soundcard (USB-XLR adaptor) USB to XLR.jpeg I am using a MacBook pro. For the loop back I used a...

Hi Stuart and all, I did my calibrations and made my first test. I am just uploading one file to see if I did everything ok before doing more tests. Since this is a tracking room, I only used one speaker. I positioned the speaker where I envision my drum set going, so there is not a L baseline, R ba...

I will be doing the REW test this weekend. I planned on doing it sooner but I had my suitcase with all my mics (3), cables (3 each), mic stands (2), plus my XLR to USB adaptor stolen last Sunday. I will give a summarized version of the story on the studio construction thread. Big wake up call, but i...

Great design Jennifer! I could see it working for cymbal stands and other drum gear as well. I would love to add a top to it somehow so I could stack things on top of it but then have a way to roll out the stands when I need them. Food for thought.

I have no idea what you are talking about.

Hey Paul, Just read through your thread. Nice to see it getting started! Corona virus has made a long journey even longer. I started in October and now it's July. I am close to done but still have some work to do. My build is similar. One room for practice and rehearsing mainly. Even so it has taken...

Got it! thanks!

Thanks Stuart! I sent you a PM. For the REW use on tracking room, your article mentioned option 1: set up one single speaker in a location where there would typically be an instrument, then put the mic at a location where a room mic would typically be located, for picking up the room ambience of tha...

Also for speakers I have some old Fostex studio monitor speakers and a full PA system. What should I use? Whatever has the fattest response, and the greatest frequency range. You want a speaker that can put out a decent SPL level (around 90-100 dBC) when playing typical music that you intend to pla...
