On the rear of the speakers – you don’t normally have independent control of each output on an interface. If you DO have output trims then you can use those if you like.
The goal is to get all the speakers proportional to each other and at the correct levels – all the same at the front, the surrounds down 3dB if you are working in film, or the same at the rears if you are working in broadcast/TV/DVD.

Greetings Brent,

Like all here, I’m very grateful and appreciative for your tutorial and how you broke it down so anyone can understand. I just have one question.

When testing/calibrating each speaker individually were you turning the volume knobs on the rear of the near-field monitors or on your interface itself?

Many thanks in advance for any further direction you can spare.

Hi Mike – totally agree with your notes.

I almost always make my videos 5-10 minutes and for simplicity I picked the near-field small room (79db) calibration as its the most common for students (the target audience) and more importantly the most common one to be done incorrectly or with misinformation. Medium and larger rooms I would normally expect to be staffed by operators who know how to pink their room or have someone on staff to do it for them – but that might be a gross generalisation!
I do see quite a few students pinking small rooms to 85 and under-cooking their mixes as a result, hence the tute. Hope that explains the decision for these numbers and how the video is pitched.

Great help for the basic setup. On another pass you might mention speaker placement in both stereo and surround setups. Also, mention the Blue Sky pink noise files as well.

I’d also mention that for proper calibration the studio owner should take into effect the size of the room. 79 in a bedroom isn’t 79 in a living room etc. often the ATSC (paper 85) is a better option, whereas the engineer measures cubic feet and calibrates to that spl. I’m at about 1300 sqr ft. and mix to 76 for TV and then 81 for film. It translated very well.

Thanks for making it though.

I do agree with all the concepts you’ve presented in your post. They’re really convincing and will definitely work. Still, the posts are too short for starters. May you please prolong them a little from next time? Thanks for the post.
