help with measuring software

1ManBand · 18th April 2008

i just got in my mic stand and my measurement mic and im having trouble using ETF.. i looked all over the internet for a walkthrew but i cant find something that makes it easy to understand. I saw the article on real traps too but that doesnt help.. can someone tell me how to use it? im lost. or point me in the direction of a website or an easier program?

Unless you tell us the specific problem you're having it's tough to tell you what's wrong. The biggest problem I see people have is configuring the sound card loop back. The drawing below is from the ETF Help file, but with minor additions by me for clarity. If you can state exactly what's not working, I'll be glad to help further.

I found the hook up myself to be a little "over the top" but once you have it your fine. As Ethan said, you may want to list the problem.

well i switched from EFT to REW room eq wizard.. it said in the help file that just my mic wouldnt do so i went to radio shack to buy an spl meter. I went threw the whole help file and i checked the levels and i think im doing it good.. this is the results for measuring my subwoofer. I set the crossover to the highest.. 200. i just dont know which step i should take from here.. move my acoustics? move the sub? change the crossover? measure the sub with the main speakers? i dont even know if this measurment is bad.. check it out

here is soom pictures of my room.
