Starlight!!! So great to hear from you. Man I got swamped with work at the university I teach at. Two new classes and I had to video everyone one of my lectures. Anyhow I just wrapped up my semester and I can finally get back to work on the studio. I will post more pictures to add to these from back...

Thanks Starlight and dio! Superchunk bass trap: 60cm x 60cm with an 85cm hypotenuse (face) = 24" x 24" with a 34" hypotenuse (face). Lower GFR fibreglass or mineral wool for bass traps than typical broadband traps because they are deeper. I made 12 superchunk traps, each one a third o...

Hi Stuart and all, I am finally getting back to treating my room! To start I want to put four ceiling to floor corner bass traps in. I have left over Safe n Sound, so I would like to use that in my construction. I have read differ opinions regarding air gap or no air gap. Which is best, 2' face, 6&q...

Thanks Stuart! Sorry about the hacker. That sucks. I have sent you some PM's regarding a treatment plan. Whenever you can please take a look.

Best wishes,

Howie

Hey Stuart,

Were you able to check my mdat subwoofer tests on my last post? Even a quick "they look good" would allow me to return the subwoofer.

Thanks a bunch!

Hi Stuart,

I believe I got it this time. I did one corner trick test, two tests where bass amp would go, and two tests where bass drum would be.

Thanks again,

Howie

The quotes from your last post were from a reply that I had edited so you must have seen it before the edit. Anyhow, I didn't have the right adapters to go from the K-12 into the sub so I used my sound bar from my home tv, which has a sub out, to do the tests. You can download my mdats from my post ...

Hi Stuart, Here are some tests I did this morning. The first and last had no clipping but the other tests did. The last test I added the calibration file for my Dayton mic as seen here: Screen Shot 2020-08-07 at 11.14.02 AM.png I didn't do that for the other tests. Here are the mdat's for the corner...

Hi Stuart, I got the R-12SW sub. It is passive. I am going to use my Yamaha sound bar sub out from my home tv room, to connect the R-12SW. So I won't be using the K-12 for these tests. I hope that is ok. Otherwise I would have to purchase some adapters to connect the R-12SW to my K-12. Stay tuned! H...

Thanks Stuart. Almost there. It looks like you are going to need to borrow a sub to excite the low end of the room. Hopefully something that is reasonably flat down to 30 Hz. These subs might be available at my Costco store. Would they suffice? Freq. response says 29hz-120hz. Screen Shot 2020-08-05 ...

Hi Stuart, Here are four tests of my K-12 speaker outside lying down on some 2x4's facing the sky. Test 1 is the settings I used previously: LF- Norm; HF- Flat; Test 2 is LF- Norm; HF- Vocal Boost; Test 3 is LF- Deep; HF- Flat; Test 4 is LF- Deep; HF- Vocal Boost; Howie Outside Speaker Tests.mdat

Hi Stuart, Much thanks for checking these out. I'm assuming that this is just a soundcard calibration issue: you didn't re-calibrate the levels on August 2nd. If that's the case, then I can just boost all of those measurements by 30 dB withing REW... I did not recalibrate levels on Aug. 2nd. and the...

You could try flipping the LF switch to "deep" (which is how I have the ones set that I use for live sound), and see how that goes. The problem then is that it won't give flat response, but to be honest it's more useful to get good bass out of them, rather than accuracy, for a live room. ...

Hi all,

I just finished my tests. All 39 of them! Since I can only have 30 on one file, there are two files. I did two to three mic placements per instrument and four corner trick measurements.

Hi Stuart, What was the problem? Was it the Pyle interface, or something else? I am glad you asked and perhaps this information could be added to your instructions. First, I did not have REW checked in the security and privacy preference microphone category. So OS was not giving permission to use mi...
