When setting the subwoofer through pink noise, do I want it around the same volume as the monitors? Or is it okay to go a little above it? I do like a lot of bass when listening to music. Although when monitoring for recording, I do turn the subwoofer on and off.
I have the M-Audio SBX-10, which is huge for my small studio. With the volume all the way up, it will shake the entire house. I use KRK Rokit 6 Generation 3 monitors. I seen no reason to go for the bigger monitors as 6 inch seems to be fine with a subwoofer. Although without a subwoofer, I would probably be an 8 inch or 10inch guy.
I just now got this monitor set up. So far I have the LF at 0 and the HF at 0. So it is flat. I turn them all the way up and adjust the volume with my interface. I have the sub set a little above 80hz with the volume on 0DB on the sub.
I am just curious how you guys have your sub-monitor set up. It doesn't have to be the same speakers I have. In a small to medium room. Are you setting your monitors flat? Or are you boosting the lows on the monitors as well? I've tried both and can't really decide what I like. During a mix, I think I would go flat. During listening to a concert DVD or music, I sort of do like the bass boost in the monitors as well.
I would like to properly set up my subwoofer for mixing purposes and not for listening purposes though. I have never done this before, so I am a bit confused on how to do it. With the monitors, I understand how to do it. With the subwoofer I do not. And I do not know where to point the SPL meter for the subwoofer.
I know the subwoofer shows up at 177 DB when I have the volume at 0DB on the subwoofer. It sounds pretty even to my ears to the monitors. But I don't want to trust my ears here.
I am using Logic Pro X, I know how to turn on the pink noise, but is that the way I need to do it with the subwoofer as well?
