Beta Test: Multitone Loopback Analyzer software

Ok, I was confused by the text "I can change the input level with the slider" because it only allows you to change between mono and stereo mode and the actual level is changed with the dip switches, but of course you already knew that.

The sound settings slider of the control panel works for me with the ComTrue drivers without the Tweak application when switching between mono and stereo, but I'm still using Windows 10. Maybe we use the different version of the drivers?

The best advice I can say that of you are happy with the specific computer/operating system don't change it.
I find Windows not consistent, as I said, all my Apple working properly without any issues.
I regret Paul is not making cross platform, maybe in the future:)
 
Hi Paul,

I checked the following: played 1k sinewave with known amplitude and measured with REW or MTA. For both I put the same full scale parameter. The MTA shows consistently -3db compared to REW. Either in DBFS, DBV, V, etc. I think, my opinion only, that it is better to reference to the RMS and not peak. Normally users measure with DMM and put the full scale number, then clearly put the RMS value. Of course everything is started by what MTA considered as 0DBFS and of course it doesn't impact relative measurements
 
I really like my Multitones...
but for my current, "recreational" use of measuring headphones on test benches... with two simultaneous channels...
the fact that you can only apply one correction curve, and not two separate "L" and "R" curves, is rather cumbersome....
(Corrections L/R, give with the microphones on this type of bench)
A little more flexibility regarding the corrections...
(like being able to modify them and observe the impact without having to re-measure) would make MT very useful for this kind of application...
sometimes even more so than Rew....

;-)

(If MT wasn't perhaps really designed for ""acoustics"" like REw in first... now that smoothing (*) modes are available, one of the particularities of these uses is the somewhat advanced integration of sound card or microphone corrections... or even both simultaneously, 2-corrections for each canal ( rew or virtins).. something to think about ;-) )

Sorry for my """english"""

*It would be great to enrich them with "var" and "psy", which are very commonly used in acoustics... ;-))
