![]() Once the FIR EQ is calculated, you can manipulate it by changing the reference curve, limiting its frequency and amplitude ranges, or by supplementing it with up to 8 bands of IIR EQ filters. Four common reference curves are included, or create and save your own reference presets. Quickly take and merge up to 8 measurement snapshots of your system, and select a reference as the basis for your EQ corrections. TRACT calculates a corrective FIR EQ curve and time alignment corrections using data from Smaart v8 or Di v2. At these times especially, TRACT will save the day. In many cases, access to the system processors is limited and there’s limited time before sound check. Worse, if a system is not time-aligned, there may be phase cancellation affecting valuable low-frequency impact. If not tuned, the system’s frequency response will behave erratically: music may sound different than we’re used to, and our mixing adjustments will not respond as we expect. Since every sound system is different and behaves differently in each environment, we need to calibrate the system to smooth out its performance in a live setting, this is known as tuning the PA. Just as a painter needs a clean canvas to begin painting, mixers need a well-balanced sound system for mixing. The TRACT plugin integrates with Smaart®, the industry-standard audio analysis software from Rational Acoustics, to auto-correct EQ issues and time-align any sound system. “Turn any sound system into a well-balanced foundation for your mixes, quickly and easily. Maybe I’ll see you there! System Design & Optimization – Mauricio Ramirez, Irving Texas Registration is now open, and we encourage you to grab your seat quickly.” It’s scheduled for Friday, July 27th, in McKinney, Texas (on the north side of the Dallas – Ft Worth metro area), hosted by our friends at Stonebridge UMC. It just so happens that we have a one-day class coming up designed specifically for you titled “How to Tune Your Own Sound System!” On that note, here’s some good news for you. Maybe there’s a way that we can help you tune the system yourself. If that describes your situation, and if you are up for the task, then let’s talk. Those loudspeakers still need careful tuning, but your pastor cringes at the thought of paying a professional to tune the loudspeaker system. They have the experience to know how to evaluate a loudspeaker system, what to listen for, the ability to discern which issues are related to the loudspeakers and which are related to the room acoustics, and they have the (seriously expensive) test equipment to explore and confirm how best to resolve such issues.īut let’s say that you serve in a small church, and maybe your loudspeaker system comprises one flown loudspeaker, or maybe two loudspeakers on stands flanking the platform. Without question, tuning a complex loudspeaker system is best left to the skills of a seasoned audio consultant. Smoothing out the frequency response of the loudspeaker system will not only improve your “gain-before-feedback”, but when done properly, the loudspeaker system will just sound better.Īre you prepared to tackle your loudspeaker system yourself, or should you call in a professional? ![]() ![]()
