@dima1stg there still appears to be some confusion... There is nothing wrong with REW. There is no timing instability. Period. And nothing to do with sample rate. The issue is 2 clocks (derived or otherwise) between the USB mic and audio interface. And as I said in the post above, it is not...

Perhaps there is a bit of confusion with the OP. First, I am not the author of Acourate, that would be Dr. Ulrich Brüggemann @UliBru here on the REW forum. 2nd there is no issue with UMIK-1 or 2 using the "Measuring with file playback" method as described in John's REW Making Measurements help...

Same issue here. Reported to Bernt.

@NMixes Jeffrey has you covered and congrats! It is a nice mic and one of the very few that publishes it's distortion profile. @yoav yes, this is the same answer and calibration file I also received a while back. Sorry I did not post it time when you asked your question.

As mentioned to you before, HLC does not automatically load different channel format .cfg's which is in my backlog to be completed. I don't know anyone else manually editing Audiolense.cfg files, as HLC will handle both absolute and relative paths. No-one else has reported this issue. As far as...

@whoareyou Problem solved, user error. I measured Bernt's convolver some time ago as a Beta tester, but I can't find the measurements as that was 2 computers ago. But I do remember with a Dirac pulse loaded it was flat frequency and phase response, as it should be. I have also compared HLC to...

@2234rew work has me too busy. One word: experiment. :cool: Give it a try and see how it integrates in AL sim and how the correction sounds. Try a correction with the chair in the way and one without. Try pointing the mic straight up and use the Earthworks 90 degree generalized mic cal file...

Sorry, I missed that, but as you have found out from @2234rew it is a high quality MCH converter. And now you are getting consistent and repeatable measurements with the timing intact. It does make an audible difference. (PS. I own an mk5 as well).

It is always good to inspect the actual correction filters themselves (i.e. chart view details: correction) to see if: a) you are getting any narrow band artefacts in the frequency response, and if yes, then reduce the amount FDW cycles in the TTD sub window unitl it goes away. b) with the...

@mccarty350 I agree 100%. Unfortunately, for many, there is no easy way to use an analog mic in their setup... The majority of consumer DAC's don't have a corresponding ADC (and mic preamp). Adding an external ADC with mic preamp is back to the 2 clock scenario. If 2 channel only, then one can...

Hi @2234rew, while I have a UMIK-1, many of my customers have UMIK-2, and as mentioned above, the most important aspect is a good calibration file. This is illustrated in this thread where AustinJerry was getting different results from his UMIK-1 versus his new UMIK-2. It turned out to be a bad...

Hi @2234rew As long as the mic calibration file closely matches the response of the mic, either mic will work just fine for DRC. Kind regards, Mitch

Sorry @2234rew I could not say. I was just mentioning that if folks were having issues with the Windows audio version of VB-Virtual Audio Cable that LoopBeAudio is a solid alternative.

Ah, I misunderstood...
