Are speaker distances accounted for in these filters, or would I need to add those in Roon speaker setup?

I just finished using this 4 part tutorial to tune my system. I've used some other REW methods (without RePhase) in the past, but these new filters are producing far-and-away the best sound my system has ever seen (or heard!). Thank you for taking the time to put this together.

How can I setup my own frequancies for equalizer corrections? For example 30hz, 50Hz, 80Hz, 125Hz...? Not automatic frequacnies generated by REW

Sei italiano?

Wow so helpful

Most of the major DAWs have an IR loader or you can load via a reverb fx plugin and add the results to the master output of the mixer etc. This is a very similar process to adding a cab ir in a modeler. Other eq correction software such as Sonaworks and others do essentially the same thing as REW but are paid options. REW is free. This tutorial does a really good job of covering the basics of getting eq correction for the home studio.

How is dirac versus Arc 3 versus the free version as far as I understand they are all just FIR filters. does one perform significantly better than the others? If I make files in room EQ wizard is it going to sound significantly worse than if I used Dirac?

Can you set the sample rate to a single setting? I’m using foobar2000 and audirvana but when I play different songs with different sample rates my interface keeps jumping from one clock rate to the other making my windows to crash. I’m using an Apollo twin thunderbolt with the asio setting . I haven’t tried jriver I’m wondering if I can do that on that one

For some reason, I can't have the target curve change slope on the graph even though I change the numerical amount in the Target Settings. I also don't have the PK settings appear under the thumbnail graph on the left hand side. It is blank.

David, I have a couple questions. Is there a way to connect outside this thread to discuss? My original measurement, the phase wasn't terrible. After going through all the steps, the phase has a ton of wraps. It went from 1-2 wraps to 90-100 wraps. Otherwise I think I followed all the steps. I watched all 4 videos and took notes to make sure I was catching all the steps.

Thank you!! With your assistance I've created my first FIR files for use with the convolution filter on Roon. Now I can just rest on my laurels or try and tackle phase correction. :D

Should I be getting about a 1.5 to 2 second delay from a 100% wet IR from REW? This is the case for me.

Great video. I exported the filter and now want to use it for my Mac OSX and Cubase. How do I do that? Thanks buddy

Come inserisco la correzione in Qrange? Si puo esportare il risultato come Txt? Per copiare i valori in un altro equalizzatore? Lo chiedo perché non ho convolver... Grazie

Thank you for these videos. Very helpful! I've been playing with REW and use a trick to correct phase without introducing echo noise or changing the frequency response. When comparing two different phases from measurements you can close the window down a lot, like 2 cycles when doing the A/B to get the phase difference. The phase remains largely intact even though the frequency response changes a lot. With that phase difference result, 1/A it to make a phase correction filter. Set the max allowed gain to zero, and then adjust the target level so that the frequency response of the 1/A result comes out flat. That will give you a phase correction filter that does not change the amplitude. Multiply that by your magnitude adjustment and it will adjust for phase and frequency response as expected. Helpful for me since I don't run Windows, and rePhase doesn't run on Mac.

You use no windowing? I took some windowed measurements to see try to get the quasi anechoic response at the listening position. Once done, measuring again without windowing reveals the natural slope of my room and speaker to be 0.3. So do we want the first arrival sound to be flat, or have a room curve embedded in it?

does the time alignment is in the same filteR ?

RME TotalMix user - I followed this and get a WAV file of my filter frequencies - I also limited it to 9 bands for TotalMix. But this outputs a WAV file - how can I get txt or just hand enter the correction settings into TotalMix? TIA!

Thanks for this! I'm running into an issue at export: I've followed your steps exactly, go to "Export Filters Impulse Response as WAV" and select the correct measurements (the original ones, where I ran the EQ)-then got "The selected filter set has no filters that have an effect, nothing to export." Any tips?

Hi David, can achieve acceptable results using your method and my DSP, which is the MiniDSP FLEX?

hello david your videos more informative..... thank uuu Different dsp use different filter formats .txt ,csv etc ....is it possible to export from rephase in csv format

Im very lucky found you chanel,you lesson so easy undestand,God bless you.keep it make lesson.

Hello, I would like to thank you for your excellent work.I mixed these filters you explained here, with the Phase Inversion Filter i found in another YT channel, (Mr Gùr , if I can tell), to extend phase correction to 1kHz and my spaker never sounded so good. Thank you so much.👍👍👍

Why Blackman-Harris windowing?

Your tutorial so clear and straight forward. Yes, alot of tedius back and forth implementing and saving but hey its free. One of the best guides I have seen. Thank You, David Brancato. I was all new to this when I decided to take an audio step beyond buying a DAC and Powered Bookshelfs for my desktop PC. I keep thinking it would be nice to just take a few Microphone measurements, input them into a software program and let it do all the steps you covered into this tutorial. I guess Dirac comes closest to this, but still alot of footwork involved. The person who can write this dreamware will sell millions of copies.

Thanks for this, slightly annoying that this software is $90 if I want to use ARC as standalone windows sound. Have you found any free alternatives that would work for this ?

Posso caricare il risultato in qualche eq free? Quale consigli?

Un Equalizzatore free che carica il risultato? Per poterlo usare il Cubase?

How did you hide the waterfall plot graph in the EQ section?

Loved all the parts and the idea. BUT READ CAREFULLY. You NEED a top end 2013 Haswell Laptop CPU or Top end Haswell Desktop CPU or ABOVE to complete all the steps. This piece of shit of software that i love so much called REW isn't Optimized to work with lower CPUs than the Top End Haswell. I did all the steps till REW crashed on my face. I obviously DID ALL AGAIN BECAUSE Im just a perfectionist like you that does not give up. returning to the first 14 measurements and again crashed in the lasts steps on my face this not greatly Optimized Software. SO. You Need at LEAST a Top end 4th Gen Intel or equivalent AMD cpu. You have been Warned.

great tutorial. Why do you work with the excess phase and why dont you just correct everything with linear phase fir filters? What is the point importing the excess phase to rePhase? Sorry that I have missed this point. Best regards

2 questions, are you doing the psychoacoustic filter instead of lets say 6 or 12 db smoothing for anything specific reason? like is it better to use psychoacoustic over the other choices? Also are you able to put this IR back into REW to then run it through the room sweep measurement to see IRL if the freq curve did infact work as predicted? side question do you, or does anyone else here, know if its possible to put this IR on your main computer outputs so its just on all the time? for example so you can listen to spotify through the IR aswell?

this method can use in professional audio installation?

Can Eclipse Audio Speaker Measure be used instead of REW?

Why did you specifically use psychoacoustic smoothing before creating your averages? Also, would that be different than averaging with no smoothing, then changing the averaged trace to psychoacoustic?

Hello, I love your videos! I'd like to know what are the settings in the preferences prior to taking measurements? I have been trying your approach and failing at some stages so I wonder if it's because of the premeasurement settings so would it be possible to make another video with premeasurement adjustments in REW or maybe you can write it here I don't know which will make more sense. I'm using Umik-1.

Thank you so much! i searched all over internet for a explaination of where was the button "Calculate" Or "Match Response to Target". The best video.

Hello again. What is the point of taking 3 measurements from exact same position that look the same and then creating averages (which also look exactly the same)? Am I missing something?

Thanks for these 4 tutorials! I'm about to begin with this part but can you please tell me in what conditions you did the measurments? Did you use acoustic timing reference?

When checking the excess phase copies, the phase line is completely flat, phase is 0 for all frequencies, I don't think that is correct.

Another question: can you confirm the possibility to combine gain EQ based on measurements with moving mic method (MMM) and use vector averaged sweeps for phase correction?

How to prevent ringing and check for ringing?

I've just used your method. Thank you very much for sharing your experience in the form of this tutorial! Highly appreciated. I still have a couple of questions: 1. Is there also a written version (for future reference)? 2. I have a 2.2 setup, how to incorporate them correctly in this method? What I did is I had my subs with front speakers time aligned, x-overed and pre-EQd up to 120 hz, based on Serkan's method and routed both subs with both right and left channel when doing measurements to start with your method. 3. I see significant differences in phase response between measured ir and minimum phase fitters between 300-3k and 10k-20k. I can hear the difference but it's hard for me to determine which is "correct", can you please elaborate a bit more? What should I listen for? 4. I applied the filter on EqualizerAPO, and it shows a very high latency of 670 ms which means video and audio are way out of sync, what's the reason and can it be improved? Is there any general way to apply video delay as correction? Unfortunately it's not in my TV settings

thanks a lot!

Thanks for this informative Tutorial. I'm just asking myself, how to correct for Phase shifts of the speakers that you can see in a windowed measurement with REW and how to maybe use the paragraphic Phase eq within rePhase. If I generate a filter for lets say the left channel based ob this tutorial I can also directly upload it to my miniDSP 2*4 (with the right No. of taps of course)... Right?

Hey, David! Awesome tutorial. But I've been reading your gearspace thread & someone had a bright idea (I'm sure u can bring that brightness back in line with your snazzy filters xD) to send you 3 measurements in exchange for some PayPal love. I'd like to jump on that action if possible please. Could I contact you over email to talk about this? Thanks, RH

All the Vector processing - does that ever get loaded into RePhase? Did I miss domething?

Love your series :) i want to use it with HQ Player any plans of show how to use the filters with HQPlayer? and i see here you use Focusfidelty Filters? did you use their Impala software und their Filter designer? thx Janosch

That's great, I tried it and it gives better results than other methods you can find in yt. Thanks a lot!

Tried this method to apply system wide Arc System 3. JRiver drivers seem only stable enough with a large hardware buffer. So I would not recommend to use JRiver drivers directly from DAW if you're playing on external equipment. In DAW it's better to use ASIO drivers from audio interface directly and setup Arc plugin on master bus or in Cubase control room (have to try that). For listening music through other software, JRiver with Arc running is fine. It makes sense to apply same room correction both in and outside of DAW.
