Earle, I just downloaded the latest version 2 days ago, which did not resolve the issue. Do you have yet another newer build...? The files are not mono, and I think your missing my repeated point, which is that I hear the air perfectly, it's the air button that does nothing. I have explained this in...

Paavo, This issue is not connected to writing the EQ filter, in that I simply open a file, apply max air (with the EQ and Air buttons engaged), I clearly hear the Air, then disable the Air button, which has zero effect. I toggle it back and forth and nothing happens and the Air effect stays constant...

Paavo. I have sealed monitors. I appreciate your expert advise, it makes sense. I have played with high pass filtering at 30 to 50 HZ, which does not seem to help much. Please pardon my ignorance of EQ terminology... is high pass same or similar to high shelf? I have experimented with compression on...

Thanks Paavo, I have just scored a pair of Grado R2 headphones (serious to say the least), and used them to do some more listening tests. What I found with these high end headphones is that HarBal does indeed seem to be doing a good job at loudness matching. These headphones have shown me serious pr...

"You suggest that Har-Bal or the loudness model is overcompensating because the level is hotter than you'd expect. What does it actually sound like switching EQ in and out is the more important point? Does it sound about as loud or does one sound louder than the other? I'd suggest that if you c...

Match Loudness Question

Hello, Excuse me if this has been covered. For the record, I am using Mackie Tracktion 2, various VST plugs, Harbal and the RME Fireface for my audio engine. The Fireface comes with a very nice app called DigiCheck, which I use more and more for observing and learning about frequency spectrum and tr...
