Want to test my monitors for flatness, but what am I missing?
I found this freeware frequency and spectrum analyzer:
http://www.sarand.com/prd/winsingad/winsingad.html I've got a pretty flat mic. But what do I play through the monitors? Do I need some type of tone generator to step through the frequencies and see how it looks on the analyzer? |
You need a pink noise generator and a Real Time Analizer if I'm understanding your question right. Adobe Audition has a noise generator built in. I belive most other audio editing programs will also, but I'm just assuming there.

Dave,
You can get a 30-day trial of a much more sophisticated ($600) system, that includes everything you need (including online tutorials here: http://www.ymec.com/products/dssf3e/ I've used it to analyze the inputs of my cams and the DXA-8 They also offer a $24 subset (their Real Time Analyzer) that includes a tone generator with a sweep function, an oscilloscope and several other functions. |
What really is pink noise? Just by playing this
pink noise, the analyzer can tell how flat my monitors are, assuming my mic is flat? |

Hopefully that freeware program I found has the
pink noise in it. So, the pink noise runs through all the different frequencies? Like, steps up from low tones to the high pitched tones? |
Pink noise contains all the tones at once.
You can also try a test sound which uses sine wave tones which change from low to high. I believe this will give you a different result than pink noise. |
