Flat is needed.
It would appear to be weak in the low frequencies.
But, you could create a "calibration file" to help it out some.

Yes, flat and omnidirectional is needed. The Yeti Blue is a cardioid capsule, so it has the lumpy HF response (damping) and the falling bass that all cardioid capsules have. The bass response will depend onto the distance from the source (fine for a podcaster mic, but no good for measurements) and also the mic frequency response changes with the angle of incidence of the arriving sound - pretty awful for measurements. It is impossible to compensate for this with a calibration file.
I surely did, because I am clueless
Hoping for having some time to dig deep into this.Anyways to make it clear, I make rew spill the sound through left channel and take measures and then I make rew spill the sound through right channel and measure it again?

Yep, keep the mic in same position and measure channels one at a time.

Another shameless +1
I finally got a umik-1 direct from HK (shockingly fast delivery). Using the tutorial made it very fast to measure my JBL 305mkii. Now that I got the hang of it, would love a part 3. A what do we do now that we have the in room response guide
I would also love a part 3. In the meantime I used this video, that has been recommended here around multiple times.
I'm beginning to think Part 3 is whatever you write for yourself after exercising the basics presented in Parts 1 and 2...

Maybe someone other than Amir can do the third part. But slowly and step by step.
The measurements have already been resolved, both in motion and at multiple points.
But I don't quite understand the values / parameters to equalize. I don't know why some say equalize from 20 to 20,000 and others from 20 to 700hz.
Many doubts after making the measurements.

Yes, that video was great, and between it and Amirm’s tutorials I felt very comfortable testing and measuring.
@oldsysop - same here, as I tried both auto and manual EQ in REW from 20-500 and 20-20k, then did manual entry into Roon, but boy does it sound bad. I have a pseudo blind test with Roon by closing me eyes and rapidly clicking my mouse on the on/off switch for the parametric EQ until I’m not sure which is EQ on/off. But with my tweaks it didn’t take more then a few seconds as the EQ’d version was always worse.

Part 3 is almost said in the room EQ reviews I have been doing and to some extent the speaker reviews (listening test part).
You are right Amirm, and yes I'm learning tons from your speaker reviews and your posted Roon EQ settings. Do you happen to have an EQ setting for the JBL 305mkii? From what I've learned you go for the less is more school, so I've been trying to not do 12 bands of peak adjustments.Part 3 is almost said in the room EQ reviews I have been doing and to some extent the speaker reviews (listening test part).

Someone suggested one recently and when I get a chance I will try it.
This is so wonderful! Thank you, Amir! This has been one bridge too far for this ignoramus, but thanks to this article, I have the courage to give it a go! However, this is a bit like a cliffhanger, in that I am in tenderhooks pondering the climax! Has Part 3 been posted under a different title? What exactly does one do after Part 2, please?
No...
Try "Do it yourself".
If you get stuck start a thread and ask questions.
Your a hard man Ray.
Have you seen this guide yet, it's a good one, you can download it to your drive for reference at any time.
