Absolutely in love with your channel. And fresh recruit here. Have learned and relearned so much stuff here. All thanks to you. Love the quality of content and depth of knowledge. Since you have a helix dsp, can you please please please do a video on how to properly use the helix dsp auto eq feature. I admit that it may not be as powerful as the manual eq via REW but still if you can then please do shed some light on it. I have been using jazzis xl sheet to export house curves for helix rta recently to set the acoustic crossovers.
@@RAW-CAt i have the same dsp, dsp pro mkII, and yes it doesn’t have virtual channels and doesn’t run on V5, but it does have auto eq and auto TA ( autoset and setEQ) and I have used it occasionally
I just found out. Thanks to your usb mic time alignment video, combined with this one. That a focusrite 2i2 GEN4 has the possibility to loopback internaly using the focusrite control 2 software. The direct monitor can be use to loopback.
excellent presentation. 31:04 w/ such high frequencies because of the small wavelengths, measurements can be super sensitive to positioning (even half a cm) and/or anything changing/moving in the environment, such as the user doing the testing..
Great video with detail.... looking for the same video since long. I have ordered dayton audio UMM6 anf IMM6. Waiting for the delivery. You helped me in case how to use IMM6 with PC or Laptop. Thanks man.....keep doing. It will be great if you could make specific video on how to correct phase issues in home theatre setup like 5.1.4 with help of REW.
I have a UMIK-1 and a UMIK-2, and while I have no idea which one is actually more accurate, what I can say is the UMIK-2 measures 2-3dB lower than UMIK-1 above about 2kHz, and the resulting tune from using the 2 is a nicer sounding result.
Regarding the loopback on the audio interface, does a digital loopback work the same for impulse response measurement as the diy cable you showed? I have a Motu M2 and it has digital loopback (shows up as additional input device on Windows), my understanding is that the Scarlett doesn't have this feature.
Love your channel man, awesome info and I thank you for it! Have my little imm-6 ready (tho will I need an adapter or can I use it in my laptop with an extension aux?), waiting for my musway dsp to come and to install it properly and start to tune this shitty focal fiberglass 2-way, hopes are slim to make it sound good (mid is midbass in the door... :( and the tweeter is aluminium sibilant one) but I would like it to stage properly and sound a bit better. Maybe will go to 3 way active next time something like focal flax evo (what are your thoughts about it?) I don't know, for now want to stay as stock as I can. And wait for my wife to calm down at my money pit waste for car audio haha. Anyways :)
You can use the imm with an extemtion, but I would recommend getting a USB soundcard, you can get one of eBay for less than $10. Focal Flax are good speakers and will make you happy. But to he honest, don't discard cheap and simple speakers like you have now, with correct tuning, they can sound very decent and image well. Play with the tining and upgrade the speakers only when you can't squeze more out of these.
@@RAW-CAt thank you man, will do! It's a shame cause I have a Volt-1 audio interface at home, could use it somehow with imm-6 maybe instead! Will try to improve the ones I have of course before throwing another grand in a new set and A-pillars remake haha.
Yes, but the clock drift still is a problem. It's not an issue for a one off measurement, but when you have to measure 6-8 drivers multiple times, that clock drift scewes the timing.
@@RAW-CAtyes i undersjanger that, and thank you for awnsering on such an old video, I really appreciate it. I’m wondering if it is possible to make a loop back cable to use with the Dayton mic, or if you need an audio interface for it?
@@krijolee8981 in order to use a loopback you need to have two inputs. Laptops have only one input on the combo jack. So yes, you need an interface with two inputs.
@@RAW-CAtit should be “noise floor“. Floor noise is the sound that floor makes. Whereas noise floor is the level of noise that is inherent to the system.
You are a hero man. Thanks for this truly important work 💪👍
Still pretty confident in my choice of the Umik-1 being a good choice.

Thanks for the kind words. Problem is that my DSP is an older one and is not compatable with the v5 software that offers auto EQ functionality..

Unfortunately I am not into home audio at all..

Well, as I mentioned absolute accuracy for tuning a car is not that important🙂

Yes, it works the same way. JL MAX has an internal digital loopback for that.
Hi, whether it’s possible for you to explain how loop back the cable and make cable.
What do you think of the Audio Control DM-RTA PRO KIT?
It's an audio interface that has all 9f the car audio connections. Functionally it's the same as a focusrite solo.
If it’s possible for you to explain how loop back the cable and make cable. It is looking 2 TRS 6.3mm jack and 1 Rca jack.
Watch the beginning of the video about HolmImpulse.

Thinking about getting the imm6 as i dont need anything too fancy. What adapter dongle did you use?
A cheap one from eBay. no name china brand.
@@RAW-CAt thank you.
@@RAW-CAt Perhaps the Chinese adapter spoiled the result of imm 6. Did you calibrate it in REW?
@@user-ew7mi4mi8ohave you tried it yourself ?
for REW there is acoustic time reference for do time alignment using UMIK-1. Am i wrong?
Yes, but the clock drift still is a problem. It's not an issue for a one off measurement, but when you have to measure 6-8 drivers multiple times, that clock drift scewes the timing.
If you Google objective testing for the umik-1, it tests extremely well. Should do some quick google-fu and check for yourself.
Still waiting to see the measurement process 😊
I have a dayton audio IMM-6 Microphone i'm planning to use it with REW software, can you please tell me how to calibrate the soundcard of my laptop
Follow instructions is REW. Soundcard calibration is not really necessary for acoustical measurements.
What measurement software are you using?
REW
Good job .
can you do loopback with the 3,5mm jack mic from dayton?
Loopback is a separate cable and has nothing to do with the microphone.

oki i understand, thank you for the help.@@RAW-CAt
The Dayton Audio 3.5mm thing also serialized and have it's unique calibration files you can download, thus calibrated.
He mentions that in the video
@@Mark_5150 ah okay then.
It'd the first thing he says too, good job man
EMM6 is not off look at chart shape
I’m pretty sure that the ones that look the same, are probably all manufactured by the same company.
I imagine all the shells are made in one factory, just laser etched different brand names that put their own electronics inside🤷🏻♂️
If You say "floor noise" once more, I'm going to unsubscribe 😂
I will come up with another phrase to describe the issue🤣
@@RAW-CAtit should be “noise floor“. Floor noise is the sound that floor makes. Whereas noise floor is the level of noise that is inherent to the system.
