SQ

heres the thing that KILLS me !!!

how do i know what the Artist intended when they recorded it as i was NOT in the recording studio when they did it ?

Really simple actually. First start with sine waves.

1) Take the output of your cd player into an analyzer and look at the response.

2) Now take a microphone and measure the acoustic response of your system

3) Overlay 1 & 2 and make them identical

Once you balance your system to play back sine waves identically as they are recorded, it will now play music back as recorded.

You also must realize though that popular music in general is recorded in such a way to compensate for stereo systems so you will have to adjust afterwards, of course if you listen to real musicians this is much less the case.

Wow i think i understood all of that !

makes a lot of sense

Problem:

i have no way of getting this done

Hey, not trying to re-ignite anything here...

Anyone here doing Digital Room Correction (DRC)? This is more than balancing levels and time alignment. This also helps deal with phase issues (like what are introduced by any non-digital crossover) and reflections (echo) among other things. I've just started on my project, which is SQ oriented, but I like bass too! Just moving to doing linear phase crossovers using a PC has made a HUGE difference. I mean huge. Well, I was coming from a pretty crappy amp built in XO (rockford fosgate) of 12dB / octive butterworth.

Anyways, just wondering... I'm going to keep updating this stuff. My project homepage for now is here:
