Been using mine for a few weeks and was able to apply correction for all my digital and analog sources. Records have never sounded better!

[@HomeRecordingMadeEasy]

Great! Glad it's working for you

[@leadpain]

i bought the system and i didn't get the cables!! even my calibration mic doesn't have any nylon on it in the box!! thank you IK MultiMedia ARC!!!

[@HomeRecordingMadeEasy]

where did you buy it from? Did you send it back for another unit?

[@srwaite7]

I added it to my home studio last weekend. Love it! 👍🏻🖖🏻

[@HomeRecordingMadeEasy]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@meshica7]

Just received mine this week and I'll be setting it up this weekend. Thanx for this video!

[@HomeRecordingMadeEasy]

Thanks for watching

[@robertjason6885]

Nice vid. For me, the music track is a bit distracting

[@HomeRecordingMadeEasy]

Thanks for watching!

[@kervondebisette6740]

I purchased this exact system and I’m having one issue. After I’m done analyzing, saving and then quitting; I then go to the arc 4 software and it remains neutral with no data from my analysis. It says my results are not being saved to my device. Can u please help me?

[@HomeRecordingMadeEasy]

You need to contact Ik-Multimedia

[@eyeswideopen7199]

How would I set this up using the mackie big knob monitor controller...I bought my arc studio 1 week ago and I have the focusrite 18i20 but I'm confused on using the arc with my big knob. I have my focals and my auratone mix cube connected to the big knob.

[@HomeRecordingMadeEasy]

Not sure, you need to contact IK Multi-Media.

[@eyeswideopen7199]

@@HomeRecordingMadeEasy yeah I tried but no response

[@kokocreatesmusic]

@@eyeswideopen7199 I haven't gotten mine yet, but contemplate a similar issue - 18i20 to Baby Ram Monitor Controller connecting to a Auratone and Kali Lp6s - the way I think about it - the monitor controller should not color. So I leave everything as is and will get the ARC in between the Monitor Controller and the Main Monitors, so the LPs. As the profile will only correct for one. If you ran the ARC before you'd have to create two profiles and when you switch monitors you'd need to reload the profile as well which kills convenience. So I guess for you that would mean 18i20 > Big Knob > Auratone (no correction) + > ARC > Focals (with Correction) To me, since the the Auratone is to check the mix on a poorer system, I wouldn't want to correct that one anyway. What do you think? @eyeswideopen7199 does that make sense?

[@leroygibbsii2559]

You'll want to place it between the big knob and the speakers.

[@cryptout]

The comments about using it with headphones are weird to me. This thing is clearly made for studio monitor correction and not to be used with headphones.

[@HomeRecordingMadeEasy]

I would agree

[@aveoaudiobackgroundmusic983]

what is the latency?

[@HomeRecordingMadeEasy]

there is none, that you can actually hear

[@aveoaudiobackgroundmusic983]

@@HomeRecordingMadeEasy After correction, my box clips) I have to reduce the input signal by -14db, although the frequency correction is not higher than 5db)

[@Balsam_888]

When you wear headphones, you lose the sense of the room because the sound is isolated to your ears. So you don't need to make "room" correction for headphones!

[@HomeRecordingMadeEasy]

you could not be more incorrect with that statement. Room correction for headphone will make your headphones more "flat". Headphone are typically not very accurate for mixing.
