Apple does like to do dumb stuff on occasion. :)

If I understand what you are saying correctly, you can eliminate that duplicating "feature" and get back the majority of the "save as"...

There are many ways to skin a cat, but first one has to understand the goal before choosing the method.

Goal: Setting the reference delay such that the highest possible correlation between the...

Hi Frank:

This is simpler than you can imagine, but I'm in the mood to make a mess of it. Massive corrections and general derision solicited.

Sound is the variation of air pressure above and...

Add a command line switch that allows Smaart to startup one way or the other.

Then you can have (2) shortcut icons to click on and (2) keyboard shortcuts to launch the program as well if you're...

That would be even better than a stand alone utility!

I didn't think of that because it makes too much sense. That would also make things easier from our end. Don't bother with pretty stuff like...

Completely reasonable Adam - in a similar vein I was amazed when you guys took the plunge into OSX, but at least that effort benefitted more than one guy. :)

A non-conclusive, but interesting look...

Somebody posted this a little while ago and I was just wondering if he (I have too much class to reveal his name) ever got around to making this utility.

I'm finally going to move away from v5.4...

I just bet Calvert is going to include a synchronous log swept sine stimulus for the new IR analysis module. Don't pretend that some of us don't save everything you guys post for future blackmail:

Hi Johnny:

The 15" and 17" MacBook Pros' on-board audio hardware (and published documentation of same) is amazing. I use the digital I/O to interface with Benchmark A/D and D/A converters for...

Hi Doc:

I don't understand your question about phase... Maybe you're interested in understanding how and why to correctly set the reference delay in Smaart?

On the other question about a...

Great thread - something that should be condensed and added to the manual IMO. :)

One thing I'd suggest if it's reasonably easy to implement is to have Smaart apply Arthur's adjustment to either...

I lent my like new JF80z's to a great friend that runs sound company (A) a few states removed for a larger event. He also rented JF80's from another sound company (B) near him and they got mixed up...

Why buy the noise stick?

Because it's there.

"What is the use of climbing Mount Everest?" and my answer must at once be, "It is no use." There is not the slightest prospect of any gain...

No - actually she had her brother come over and fuss and he lives somewhere else! I tried explaining to him what I was up to but it was obvious that he just wanted a one-way conversation, so I let...

Third!

Got in trouble with a neighbor last year but now we're friendly. :)

A coda to the gain structure portion of this thread:

Summary:

If you have control over the entire audio system,...

You're absolutely correct Pepe - the amp's gain determines the limiter threshold.

Example: if a loudspeaker passband can handle a voltage of +40dBu, the amp has the ability to deliver that and the...

Nicely written James. :)

One of the things that can force me to compromise gain structures in portable systems is the fact that the amp gain knobs may get bumped, thus setting them anywhere other...

Hello:

You're going to need a bit more than a month to learn how to use any measurement program in a way that will allow you to improve a sound system. I've been at it pretty regularly since the...

I've been using a program called CLIO primarily for electronic measurements and one of the nicest things about it is that it reports the gain of both inputs in outputs in units you specify. Of...

Hi Calvert:

IMO Smaart's target market and usage make microphone phase compensation entirely superfluous. The only time this might make sense is with measurement software aimed at loudspeaker...

Hi Kip:

This is what I use as I prefer the glossy screen - http://hoodmanusa.com/products.asp?dept=1064

It also has the advantage of marking you out as a true nerd. :)

Used Babel Fish to translate German to English to see if I could learn something from my European friends. Clicking on an attached picture file taught me all I need to know to de-throne Steve Martin...
