Pshaw
Published on 03/03/09 at 04:08
First of all, sorry for the long view. I could see no better way to convince them that tell the story between the plug and me!
- No problem during installation. Just a little challenge for authorization boring but once done no more about it.
- No conflict
- The manual is clear and essential
- The config ...
Ah the config! Not that it is complicated but it is necessary to achieve it properly, accurately, taking his time.
Explanation:
I ordered two soft drinks and waited for the other with unusual impatience. The CRA came first and he took advantage of my enthusiasm.
A textbook, why?
I put the VST host and he said that no config has been done and should be soft launch in stand alone. Never mind!
I place the microphone vertically, making do and so 32 times in the room. I figure that by the max it will be taken at the top.
The time of the test is coming ...
"Play" -> no! -> Disgusted!
Pay as much for it?! Balls!
For some reason, despite the price, I preferred to bend (not to get upset, no doubt).
Meanwhile, the long-awaited soft and comes'm good.
Then, the enthusiasm and hope diminished income, I reaffixable me once, twice. Idem. It's still horrible. The sound is tight. One has the impression that a big problem with phase reversed the two lobes of the brain. Disturbing!
Ready to throw a fire-mail to the editor or the seller (or maybe even both, it would do me good), I finally decided to peel the manual and follow to the letter so that we do not blame myself anything if I had to send the famous mails.
And that's when I began to understand ...
Decision must be made accurately and symmetrical. Furthermore, it is preferable to a config listening position and switch on time.
I focus therefore taken where I work by concealing the sofa at the bottom.
I load the config in the plug and filled with apprehension I press Play ...
It is better, much better, but where are the bass? Those that make me tremble every time the kick, those that make me vibrate with each bass sound? And it's very sharp, bordering on rude!
Reflecting on all this, I realize that the microphone is upright and put my speakers on the desktop. The tweeters are below the level of the capsule. It is time to have the speakers up to my ears, what I logically have done long ago!
Rebelote, re-config ...
This time the highs are reduced and the whole is coherent but not my lower back. Having said that their departure will have made clear the top of the spectrum.
I remember when I read the manual that it takes time for acclimatization. A bit like when you open your eyes in the morning ....
So be it!
I start tapping alternately with and without correction and all lit up. In great big fan of bass, I was grossly overdosed on sub! And as and when my ears finally get used to and begin to appreciate what they hear.
Listening is prolonged and the issue finally arrived (the same as every time I send me a sushi) how I could do without?
Brightened the night until it becomes completely white. Much of my favorite pieces are passed through the CRA and I just hearts!
I rediscovered all the pieces. It's going to seem con but I had the impression that the sound went from 2D to 3D. Another dimension has been the depth! A true revolution!
The most significant effect occurred with the song Let It Snow! Performed by Dean Martin. It was and is incredible. We really feel like it is in front of us, income charmed the ladies with his haunting voice. Stunning!
So I conducted a test in my sweet offering to take my place and close your eyes to listen. The music starts and then the voice comes and the surprise was such that she could not help but open our eyes to see if someone had not slipped in front of her!
In short, to conclude on the configuration, you'll understand that it is a crucial step!
SUITABILITY/PERFORMANCE
The plugin is not greedy and stability in cubase looks good
OVERALL OPINION
It's been a month since I use it at the least listen.
Its arrival has transformed my coaches and my behavior. I am now much more confidence in what I hear and I feel that what comes out will be heard anywhere. But it is still too early to say that this is actually the case.
The configuration may seem a little heavy, but as for the authorization, once it is made is no longer mentioned, except for changes in the room.
But the real weakness is related to its strength. You end up not wanting to do without it and unfortunately it is not possible to use it all the sauces. Except on a Mac or a hack is via soft Audio Hijack.
On the PC, I found nothing better than to insert a VST before the release of Winamp with a plugin.
There is also the fact that the preamp and converter located between the microphone and the computer are important. The fact is that unless an execrable material, these links are in my opinion not the ability to reduce the effectiveness of the software to zero.
Before the purchase I looked up from reading several opinions and tests in French as in English.
Also, I have had to do with Audyssey processor via home cinema amp which I had also impressed. In this case a home theater in a vaulted cellar and not treated.
However, I never had the opportunity to test another system of correction.
I had a lot of a priori vis-à-vis the mark due to bad experiences, but IK was very strong.
In addition, a promo made me take a second look at the software: Amplitube 2 and I must admit that, even if it does not replace the hard, it's far from bad. On the contrary. The surprise was also fun!
The price / quality ratio I think is very good since this app has allowed the music to get me more pleasure every day. And because I feel more confident (rightly?)
I would do naturally that choice without any hesitation.
To conclude on this opinion a little (too) long, it seems important to clarify some details:
Above all, the control operates when the app is processed.
One might think that the CRA will linearize a room but I think he aims to linearize the monitors at a given position.
As I already mentioned in the forum before you even have it in hand, this app is not intended to replace a physical treatment.
To me, the two fit together perfectly. That is to say that the physical treatment will help advance the software to calibrate many. Then he will fully appreciate the job of the plug.
The goal to keep in view to take full advantage of the CRA is to do everything possible for it to do its job as best as possible. Nothing should be overlooked.
(S) word (s) of the end:
We know that it is (at least you guessed but now you know) and so we did not we say that we probably missed something but in the end it just fine this we have (or not ...).
And when was it the apotheosis! It's better than just icing on the cake.
It's like the air conditioning in a car, sushi, the deadly combo a fighting game or the playmate of the cake comes out!
