In the Thread: Learning to interpret RTA

Post Subject: Maybe but also Maybe not!Posted by zanon on: 6/14/2010

Paul S:

You are correct, I feel that RTA *might* have some intrinsic value, but I am not sure, and *if* it does have some intrinsic value, I am looking for help and guidance on how to unlock it. Or to be told that I am wasting my time.

For example, I have been so surprised at how different octave reading is from 1/3 octave reading. I have been so surprised at how non-flat curve sound better to me than flat curve. I am also being surprised at how flattening the curve sometimes create performance with more vocal emphasis (and "wetter" sound) but also how it can disconnect vocal, making it sound like the singer is with some other band, maybe in some other room, maybe even singing another song. All of this is giving me new reasons to discard standard industry output (like anechoic 1M readings) etc.

I am seening what new ideas L/R analysis and 1/6 octave can give me.

thank you for your help.
