Re: A HOLM starter guide
Very, very nice. Lots of help for critical, but seldom documented checkboxes that may turn out to be important. Appreciate all the extra screenshots and annotation. good work!

Re: A HOLM starter guide
Can HolmImpulse accept an .frd file for mic calibration? I know it takes a .txt simply enough. Anyone know about this? Thanks.Comment

Re: A HOLM starter guide
Hi guys. I have a question. Am i doing something wrong if my measurements look like this ?
They are all rippled and impulse looks odd. I can't see when room reflection starts because impulse is all but good.
I dunno. I'm probably doing something wrong :(
Distance between mic and speaker is 1m. I removed everything arround it and stacked pillows on the floor to minimize reflections. Gated properly (around 3ms for 1m distance) and still it doesn't loook right. This is midbass in the BR cabinet with no xover.
Measuring equipment is Behringer ECM8000 mic, M-audio fast track USB soundcard with phantom power, Win7 Desktop computer. I remeasured it with my notebook just in case and it looks the same. I disabled onboard sound card in BIOS and uninstaled drivers for it.
If this is off i'll be thankful if mods would move itComment

Re: A HOLM starter guide
Impulse looks bad and i can't see first reflection regardless of gating (which is good in my oppinion).Comment

Re: A HOLM starter guide
Your gating can not be set properly if you can't see the first reflection. The first reflection is what tells you where to set the gate.Comment

Re: A HOLM starter guide
My question is if anyone can tell me why my impulse response looks that way that it looks ?Comment

Re: A HOLM starter guide
Maybe I am off-base, but just thinking out-loud are you sure you are getting a clean measurement from your mic? I'd look at the max. PCM level (should be on the bottom left of the holm impulse test page) and see if its a nice negative value. My best measurements seem to happen when that reads -2 to -5 db.Audio: Media PC -> Sabre ESS 9023 DAC -> Behringer EP2500 -> (insert speakers of the moment)
