Easy ZMA and T/S Parameters Using The LIMP Module in ARTA - An Illustrated Guide

[Derekj]

Ok - I think i'm getting somewhere. I gave up on using my fancy sound card and hooked my jig up to the on board sound. Followed the setup instructions and it works now. I had the volume and recording level set at 25 in windows and got some pretty squiggly lines, so I played around with the volume and recording levels and got this - it should be a bit smoother though right?

That looks good Derek!

Derek,

Don't give up on your soundcard yet. Take a look at this article on how to enable the ASIO driver of your soundcard:

As a perpetual newb, THANK YOU, thank you, thank you for this very informative,easy to follow tutorial. Many talk, few explain. You nailed it for us.

Do you use the added weight if you are looking for t/s for a tweeter?

[Chris Roemer]

Added mass is for Vas, which is used for box modeling. Box modeling isn't done on tweeters 'cause they're closed-back.
It also wouldn't be measured for a dome mid or other closed-back mid. Not much point really.

Totally great guide. SO useful for beginners without any money or measuring setup.
I'll just start a fan club for you, so of course there must be a fan club t-shirt,
Maybe like this Bruce Springsteen shirt.

Pheww, for a minute, I thought I was listening to this guy... Thanks Don!

The only other thing I would add to this guide is JR's suggestion to change the below settings in the Measurement Setup screen, so once you click the Record button, LIMP will take 10 measurements (or the number of your preference), average them out and Stop the recording process automatically. Thanks Johnny.
