[Completed Beta] Room Correction for Individual Channels

This setting effects boost and cut, despite it saying max boost

Well, it doesn't say max. boost, it says max. gain. And that refers to the absolute value. As I said, a design decision, not a bug.

As long as you keep the correction range below ~3000 Hz the UMIK-1 is usually flat without calibration applied.

I asked whether to point upwards or point straight ahead

I asked whether to point upwards or point straight ahead

Up to 1 kHz the UMIK-1 is pretty much omnidirectional, so there won't be any difference.

Usually, pointing straight between the speakers is the recommended way, but (somewhat ironically) as long as we cannot import any calibration files, the frequency response is actually flatter pointing upwards up to at least 6 kHz.

Here are the 90° calibration files for a couple of UMIK-1 samples at 90° (pointing upwards):


By comparison, here are the cal files for the same mic samples at 0° (pointing straight):


As you can see, at 90° these mic do require less calibration, so the error is noticeably smaller than at 0°. This is no longer true for higher frequencies above 6 kHz.

I mean you can go into the filter list in the PEQ settings and turn off the filters with high positive gain.

Or adapt it. Everything possible!
