Show us the REW measurements again to see if this plugin works, we'll let you know! Best of luck! Anand
How would I go about getting a REW measurement while using the plugin? I've been working with REW for years, but I use its internal sweeps. How would I do it through Squeezebox Server? If I can do it, I'd be happy to show the results.
When the Inguz EQ is engaged, I lose a bit of smoothness to the sound. It becomes slightly digital or grainy sounding. I also lose a bit of imagining and the speakers become more obvious. Subtle details are still there, but there are not as obvious. Basically the sound takes on a sort of fake quality.
TJ, this has come up in older posts. I don't recall if it was in the SB forums or the now defunct Inguz forums. I seem to remember that in some cases it was due to slight clipping, which can be adjusted (manually) in one of the Inguz configuration files. I'm not sure if it was ever explained outside of that context, however, so beyond that I can't help. One thing, though, is that if you are using it with any aggresive boost to any of the equalization points - which I suspect you are not since you're trying to reduce a peak - it does increase the possibility of clipping.IMO, Inguz works better when using its DSP functions to correct both amplitude and phase anomalies.
I searched and searched, but I have only found positive comments on Inguz. I wish the Inguz forums weren't gone as I've seen many references to it in other posts.
I was attempting to keep things simple and only use the graphic EQ. I guess I'll look into the DSP function and see if that works better.
Haven't read all the above so dunno if this has been mentioned, but rather than listen from your sofa get an occasional chair that is comfortable, of course, and put it in front of your sofa and see/hear what happens. Reflection off your back wall will change for starters. Try it if you're serious. Cheers.Oh, and move your coffee table out of the field.
Here's a thought that hadn't been suggested, active noise canceling...Build a cross-over that only passes frequencies in the mid 30s. Run the same signal feeding your main to this cross-over and from your crossover to your sub but invert the phase. Then you can adjust the volume of the sub to cancel out the peak.Thoughts?
Your idea of the chair would work if I didn't have that stupid chase lounge part of my couch. I really regret that purchase and the couch is a piece of junk anyway. I'm looking to replace it sometime later this year when I can afford to get what I want.
If you are running with mostly digital as a source, you could try a Behringer DEQ2496 running digital only for in/out. It is quite transparent when used this way and it has tremendous flexibility, along with 10 bands parametric + 31 bands 1/3 octave.And you can store different settings in memory so you can compare between different eq correction curves.It also functions as a 63 band analyzer with an extremely handy pink-noise generator built in. Parts express sells a $49 calibrated mic that works really well with this. Find it at http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?Partnumber=390-801Like I said, the DEQ2496 is extremely transparent running in digital I/O. Some have said otherwise, but when questioned, it invariably turns out they are using the analog i/o instead of the digital. (Warning: The analog sections on the DEQ2496 is not the best unless modded, use only digital I/O)Run it between digital source and DAC. It can be had for $275 to 300 new on Ebay, and if you try it and don't like it, you can re-sell it rather easily for $240-275. I buy several a year to integrate with my H1 speaker systems (you can see it at holisticaudio.com), so if you don't like it I may be interested as well. Try it, it is an outstanding solution for not much money.
