Here are the waterfalls from the left and right speakers from 1M. Don't think the problem is there.

Ok, that would make sense. It was that ringing (feedback loop) that I mentioned previously, on your soundcard calibration. Probably something was messed up with the calibration procedure, as I doubt that your card actually rings like that!I completely reset my system and did not install the sound card calibration file. It is gone.
With a caveat. There was no accurate SPL on these. I won't have them until tomorrow.OK, on to the next tests! "Walking mic, going up and down".... (Maybe this one should be the "hopping mic"...)
No problem. For this test, SPL accuracy isn't so necessary.With a caveat. There was no accurate SPL on these.
We did this, it minimized the 80hz dip by a couple db.Soundman2020 wrote:Also, don't forget to try what I suggested yesterday: move your mix position a few inches forward. It should be a little smoother there. That's something you can also see on your "walking mic" test, by cycling through the measurements. But don't go more than about 4 or 5" forward, or you'll start getting slightly off axis from your speakers.
Unfortunately, this didn't budge anything around 80hz. It did flatten out the low mids a little more though, so I have decided that I'm going to put more absorption there anyway where the bright green is in this picture. That area is 12" thick, so it will be a super chunk style.
Quick test: If you have a full panel of 4" thick 703 available, try putting that on the floor where the mic stand is, then set the mic stand on top of that again, in it's normal position, with the height adjusted back to mix position height again (above the floor, not above the 703), and do a test like that. You should see another small reduction in that dip. If that works, then a cloud would work even better.
