Snip. I'm glad you found it! It's the right answer (without getting fancy about using narrow band PN)

My question is - I have Logic 8 and my mixing monitors are Yamaha hr50m's... they have level knobs on the back... can I play back the test tone, turn one speaker off, and adjust the monitors' input gain on the back til I get 83db, C weighted, slow? Repeat with the other? I think that can work (I may get a monitor gain controller knob for out front, but for the immediate situation it may work?)... then what should I do with my faders in Logic? Should I do the test with my master fader down from its "zero" point?
For the calibration part that will work, but you need a monitor fader that's calibrated. If you can allocate a pair of Logic's faders strictly to the monitor path, then you should calibrate this with Logic's faders set to 0 dB. DO NOT DO THIS WITH THE SO-CALLED "MASTER" FADER because that's in the record path. You need a separate monitor path for this to work.

Hope this helps, glad to help if I can.


Bob
