Any Good Apps?

Also this is fun. Can't do measurements but i can use AirPlay to check different things.

Pretty sure there's an android version.

I wouldn't ever trust the mic in a phone/pad for any accuracy. They're made to capture voice and the roll off of the microphones in them will just not allow a good measurements. If I were gonna try something until REW/umik etc, this little thing might work. It's calibrated response is from 18-20k. Probably not perfect but definitely better than a stock mic.

I am fully aware that accuracy would be very problematic measuring via a tablet. Just thought that there might be some useful apps out there, but it appears that really is NOT the case. I do believe that will change in the very near future. When it does, then I may opt for a new tablet then. Until then, my desktop will suffice! Thanks!

Cheers,

Phil

You know, an uncalibrated mobile device mic might not be as bad as you expect. See this comparison. My phone's mic didn't have quite the resolution of the two calibrated mics, but it's certainly passable.

Trouble is the lack of useful software. An Android gadget simply has no apps available with which to calculate a corrected response and export biquads into a miniDSP. Even if there were such an app, you'd ultimately still need a PC to apply the corrections. With that in mind, there's not much incentive for a developer to write the app you're looking for. They'd just be reinventing the wheel while making it more complicated to use.

Thanks Rojo. Find this post very informative. The apps are just not there yet. In time, however, I think that all will change. Will just use my desktop for the time being. Hope to be ordering a CSL UMiK 1 soon and get to taking some measurements.

Cheers,
