    Studio monitors response curves measured today with REW (input please)...

    If you want to scare yourself, repeat the tests in different places in the room. I think I learned that (from doing this in theatres) interpretation is key - on it's own testing frequency response means very little. Pretty much now at a new venue I just play a track I know and listen. Very...

    First 1k Spotify Streams

    It is not possible to give a specific rate per stream - the fees paid depend on where in the world. Here are a few examples from my own stats, including things I haven't even heard of. Bytedance? No idea, but for 39 MILLION streams they generated £4.40! Facebook is a good earner, but apple is...

    You now have three perfectly sensible traces. I do think you are over thinking the entire thing, losing perspective. If you turn down the blue speaker a tiny bit it tracks perfectly, the green trace suggests the HF unit has a difference in HF response. Its a gradual tapering off, then a sudden...

    Presonus Studio 1824c Audio Interface - Independent Output Channel Count

    I have a Presonus firepod, a tascam 1640 and a behringer 1820, and I struggle to hear any differences between them!

    I meant use any old mic - as their frequency response ups and down are rarely much different where you have issues

    What are my chances of getting a hit in the Billboard Hot 100?

    Where are you getting the idea about 'sales' from?? My music sales - as in real purchases in the form of downloads are tiny, but my PRS income is constantly growing. Sales now percentage wise earn me next to nothing - a few million streams however, do. Th catch is that earnings seem to now be...

    The three traces are so similar with just subtle differences that makes me think the measurement system is the culprit here. I think you said the mic was an 8000 measurement mic, so we can be pretty sure it is pretty flat. Outside means no resonances, so 30dB of reduction at some points...

    That could indeed have wrecked it because you get weird comb filtering effects that add in spikes to the response curve where they overlap which combine or reject to a degree.

    No - LA325's Very heavy, and probably at least 5 coats of paint through their life, but never let us down.

    I learned long ago that buying cheap products that were a little less than perfect, and tweaking them, was always a bit of an illusion. In my office, I run a pair of RCF 5" monitors. I have 5 pairs of them, in flight cases for stage edge fills. For music serious listening, they're just OK, but I...

    Audacity? Equipment? or am I missing something?

    I do the same. Audacity is on every computer and if I need to do some normalising, or fade in or fade out it's quick and simple, but I'd never record a normal session on it, even though it actually can do it. It is just not that nice to use once you go outside mono or stereo tracks. Everyone...

    X32 as controller ?

    Well, so far I have wrecked a perfectly stable cubase install, and it now freezes and crashes. More soon. If I set up a midi track with just the midi in from the mixer, over USB - it records fader movements, However, my plan was to set up another midi track, no input bt with the mixer as output...

    Let me introduce myself

    I cannot find a yotube link in your post, just an empty space. If you just add a url, i will try to edit it into a proper link for you. If you dont use AI, how are you producing your ‘music’? Be aware that posting it will bring back genuine, honest and normally accurate comments. If you are not...

    X32 as controller ?

    The faders send cc data, and respond to getting it back. The issues are getting the DAW to recognise a channel 1 waggle as a message it understands, then replicating it as an output. Im hoping today to see if i can make cubase work. It just isnt playing ball at the mo.

    Digital noise floor

    I doubt its digital noise at all. Its a guitar amp. They tend to hiss, but ai am a little confused. I thought they had a ¼” jack for the line output, and you just use a guitar cable to get audio into one of the combi connectors on the interface? Where does an xlr female go? The best matching...
