I have a set of NS10T's in my studio. Added this plugin and it does make a huge difference especially having the predefined menu to quickly see how the mix will sound on other speakers/headphones, Biggest thing I learned was to remember to turn the plugin OFF before bouncing ;)

I'm not sure if a tweeter is a midrange driver

Hi !
I bought today the complete bundle (Reference 3 Speaker + Headphone Calibration bundle + Systemwide).
I'm waiting for it to arrive within few days :)
Can you answer me, please, about:
1. If I need to bounce midi to audio in the middle of a project (Cubase) do I also need to turn it off before bouncing ?
I'm not talking about final export to stereo file, just render mid track to audio track inside a project & continue working.
2. In Cubase the 2 last master tracks (7 & 8) are Post-fader, I think the sonarworks need to be at 6 (Pre fader), right ?
3. After mixing in Cubase, when export the mixdown to WaveLab (directly from Cubase export) for mastering- what is the procedure ? Do I need to put again sonarworks in WaveLab as a plugin ? Should I use it in Mastering too ? or just mastering the stereo file without using sonar, as usual ?
4. Do I must a stand for the mic ? or can I hold it while doing all the measurements ?
Thanks very much for the tutorial !
BTW- Do you know the Systemwide ? I bought it too but there are few reviews on it.

How does this compare to the I'm multimedia Advanced room correction 2? I'm debating which would work best.

[poodlelord]

So there is no way to apply this across the whole system? What if I want my spotify to be corrected as well.

[djtuff]

I see you are holding the microphone to the tweeters ? and I see most holding it to the lower part of the speaker ? which is the correct way ? it does say mid range,

Hi, will the calibrated Headphone through demo software work independently with external music players and will they retain the sonic change with these external players or do the effects work only on the pc on which the plugins are installed?

hiya. im trying to setup using the sonarworks mic. the distances are ready fine but when i get to the moving measurments i get to the 4th / 5th measurment and the mic slides back on the screen and cannot get to the placement arrows. have tried this 20 times plus and same each time. any ideas??

[electedmusic]

Hi, one question, is it better to have the compensation activated, listening spot? I have - 0.5 dB in L.

[kitespongan]

Howdy, just received my XREF 20 mic today. Any ideas on how to calibrate with a sub?

[dsptetrahidrops]

doesnt your chair affect the messurment ? if you move it all arround?

[christianlaurent]

Great video again....I have to confess that I didn't make this calibration...Snorre, do you think that's essential or recommended.. I do have avantone cube, and neumann KH 310 and my room has been well designed..Is there some other products for calibrating monitors...?? ??

help me i cant find the launcher of this
how do i open this

[djcata]

yeah you skipped through the part where it fails me - the front measuring. I simply cannot go any further to the front with the mic without going BEHIND the speaker. Very annoying!
