The expense is the validation!

Poor Things would be my vote for Best Picture. Intriguing and entertaining all the way through. Beautiful production and superb acting. Oppenheimer is great for a docu-drama, but ultimately that's all it is.

What is the sample rate of your audio device?

I you want the most budget-friendly option, Behringer ECM8000 is quite decent and only 35 bucks from Sweetwater. I know several pro sound engineers who use them for live concert setup. They have a calibration file available but I'm not sure if it's for individual mics or generic...

I have a similar setup with ADAM Sub 8 and EVE SC205. If you want to test sub or mains separately, just turn the volume down on the other one.

Hi @VoidX and thanks for posting. It looks like excellent software. I just ran this through Virustotal and it detected no malware, including NOD32 which is what I have on my Windows system. I'm a Linux user 99.9% of the time so would mainly use it to generate EQ or IR profiles but will try it...

The website is not even HTTPS so that's a no from me. A Lite version of REW would be a godsend. All I really need is a spectrum analyser and a way to generate either a room correction EQ or IR file from several mic measurements, which it does excellently already of course. Certainly it's an...

John was an engineer of many famous recordings in Australia from the 60s on, and more recently a renowned worldwide studio designer and creator of the hugely popular Studio Design Forums. A sad loss.

I just came across this thread looking for an answer to the "Timed out waiting for space to write the fade out block to the soundcard" problem which I was getting upon closing the Generator. Worked out it can be avoided by increasing the Output Device buffer size. I also initially had confusion...

I just needed a little retail therapy so bought a pair of Austrian Audio Hi-X55 headphones. They are so totally different in sound from M50x, at first I was wondering where the bass has gone. A few dB of wide EQ boost around 55Hz more than made up for it and they sound wonderful with so much...

They certainly don't lack any bass with around -2dB @ 20Hz but I find it pleasant rather than excessive. I think most closed back headphones exhibit this characteristic to some extent compared to open back ones. I do cut a couple of dB at 4kHz but I think that's more of a personal preference.

I have AT M50X and like them a lot. They are specced as a "studio monitor" headphone so are designed for flat response without colouration. For their price they are excellent and you'd need to pay a lot more for significant upgrade. I work in live and studio audio production and can attest they...
