Whether this is actually what I like in reality, or whether doing this compensates better for what appears to be a big bass suckout in my setup, I'm not sure.īut I'm fairly happy with the sound. What I've decided is a not only like a bit of bass hump for what feels 'natural' in the bass - ie enough of it - but I also like a slightly steeper slope than the Dirac default - ie I like things slightly more bass heavy according to Dirac. I've been experimenting with targets this week a bit. But mostly I'd like to try and see what's going on with the channel delay thing. Meanwhile, anyone know how to read REW measurements? I did a few at the end but not sure if I did them right - certainly they look pretty different to Dirac's measurements, before and after. Hopefully Roon will get on with integrating it. Whatever the results Dirac always makes everything sounds less 'thin' and more 'right' so I really want to keep it. Listening to John Tejada now, Dirac with a little bass hump, and +6 on the EQ feels a bit more what I'd expect for electronic beats. It's much more convenient to use the remote for this and also I think I'm borderline into clipping if I push any harder in Dirac. I guess because the two big bass peaks are bought down with Dirac I can add more on top without it going mad in the room. I do find that I can use the bass EQ on the D200 more effectively now though. I don't think I like massively exaggerated bass but maybe I do? Maybe a lot of other setup's have artificially increased bass and I'm just comparing to that? Who knows, I just know I want more bass!! Otherwise I can't understand why the measurements look ok but it still feels very weak in bass. I'm starting to think with the speakers facing the long direction of the room it must be something about sound pressure rather than measured frequency amplitude - I'm trying to justify that making sense anyway. I've always had this with my system to be honest without Dirac and on both sets of speakers. Even though it says it's corrected it, and I've humped up the bass a bit more, it still doesn't feel like I've got enough bass to really slam electronic bass notes home. I still have the same perceived bass issue as when I tried it previously though. Been playing some music through Dirac this evening.
