I did captures again and carefully trim the beginning and end. Still, although pkmetric is at -105db, the correlated null is still at 64.99dBA.
: (
I don't know which part of the chain is the problem. Maybe my laptop, the apps, the ADC, DAC, etc....
Thanks for all the help. I think I will try a different laptop next.....
Do you know how to run some basic measurements using REW? This can help pinpoint where the problem might be, a few sweeps using frequency, level, THD, etc.
Hi @pkane and @Pdxwayne
I just test the difference on two files I've created in the past with a setup but one with laptop powered by battery, and one with power supply.
I got more than -110 PKmetric in both with/without autotrim (only the correlated null was a bit different) while it was a small different condition (power only), so I think with the same condition, it can only be better than -110
So is it possible that, as he's not using one interface to do the loopback (In and Out on the same device) but a DAC and ADC, he's not getting a perfect sync between both devices ?
Ideally, when you do a loopback, your DAC and your ADC should be synced with a SPDIF or ADAT signal, but I'm not sure if it can change the results by a huge margin ?
In case it can improve the results, he also can't do that because both DAC don't have a digital output to do such a sync
