Very cool to see the graph showing me where my room was way off the mark. I had a huge spike at 50hz then a big dip at 70-90hz. Then another big spike at 120hz. And some more big zig zags going on up.
With ARC3 there's a big drop in volume when you turn it on-I'm assuming all these room correction softwares are like that for some reason, but I don't know why. So I'm trying to figure out the best way to match the output levels so it's not noticably louder when bypassed. (I guess that's to get enough headroom to make boosts and cuts.)
Already, running through some of my recent mixes through it I can see why my ears had trouble judging the low end--and the whole balance really. I used some of the virtual monitoring presets such as car speaker/phone/tv and those are pretty cool.
I listened back to a track that I had a hard time mixing, but nonetheless got a forward on- and it sounded really good when I added the correction to it--(I'd mixed it on headphones) so I guess I'd done a good job on that one.
Hoping that I'm on my way to better mixes.
