![]() Have you popped your dimensions into Ethan's room mode calculator? could be my JBL LSR 6328P speakers, the DBX RTA-M mic, the MOTU 896HD, or the acoustics. So the relief in the sub bass was far more noticable (on the graph) with the louder playback. I just did a standing wave test with -20dBFS pink noise.įor the broadband I saw that when testing at 2 differing playback levels the dips and peaks were almost identical relief but, in the 10 - 60 hz range the playback level more or less stayed constant regardless of broadband playback level. If your test tones are too soft, room noise might fill in the nulls making the response look better than it really is. However, you do need to test loudly enough to see the full extent of nulls. ![]() Acoustics are linear, so the same thing happens at soft and loud volumes. Loudness and Fletcher-Munson are irrelevant when testing a room. I just asked Ethan about this and here's his answer: They effect to the ear would probably be the same, but they might visually look deeper. And all that matters is the shape, relative level, not the absolute level of the wave form, right?Ĭancellations, it seems, should appear deeper against a higher background, since they always cancel each other out no matter what the volume. If you crank up the volume a peak will be a bigger peak, but above a bigger baseline. It doesn't matter what the absolute level is. But, yeah, he'll want to run it at the normal volume level he uses to monitor while mixing (somewhere around 80dB - 85dB SPL is considered normal).īut it's all relative. I think I'll stick to tracking and pre-mixing.Īctually, standing waves are more pronounced the louder the volume is. Even the current recordings of some of that has only about a 5dB range! And it's all acoustic. Interestingly, I listen to and play a lot of traditional Irish music. I played a bunch of CD's through my system for reference and to see how "hot" different music was. It caused me to download (and read) the Katz articles, calibrate my monitor volume knob with my new (for me) Event 20/20bas's monitors, hook up my SPL (I can whistle at 132 db at 1 ft.), download the Ethan test file and generate a some interesting audio graphic files using SONAR (I also tried it on my MicroBR with Sony powered stereo condenser mics).ĭYK the Sonitus surround panner has a pink noise source? I played with that too. The whole discussion has been riveting and hijacked my weekend. ![]() I don't follow a formula, so any resemblance to conventional song structure, when it happens, is purely coincidental. I tend to write songs for "grown-ups" of all ages. Last but not least, thanks for checking out my songs! I am glad you liked them. I will have to check out the feature that you described. How cool is that? No doubt we will all be discovering hidden SONAR 'talents' for while to come. I think it's great that the thread inspired both imagination and action for you—and do to the thoughtful nature of the posts, this thread stayed smart and useful all the way through.Īnd no, I didn't know that the SONAR Sonitus Surround Panner had a pink noise setting. Though my name is spelled with a "K", I think that you were writing to me? I hope so, because I am about to thank you for writing in. Ha Ha! May you have more music-hijacked weekends.
