In the world of music recording, the combination of monitoring speakers and room acoustics can be the biggest bane to accurate sound. Instead of hearing the music you are producing, it actually gets distorted by the partial absorption of output reflected in the walls, ceilings, furniture, and surrounding objects. With many DAW home recording studio situations, this is especially troubling, until now.
IK Multimedia and sound equalization solution leader, Audyessy, have teamed up to give you the first room correction system in a plug-in form for DAW studios, the ARC System. What is it? Using Audessey's MultEQ technology, the included calibrated measurement microphone, measurement software, and multi-platform correction plug-in measures acoustical information throughout the listening area of your recording studio. It basically sniffs out the sweet spots and dead areas. It combines this collected information and then corrects both time and frequency response problems, so you'll get a clearer, more reliable representation of your musical mix. With the ARC System, the improvement on your studio sound will be fairly instant and can be improved anytime as things are moved and more bodies or instruments are brought in. Finally, you'll be able to trust that what your hearing is what you're getting. This means faster recording schedules, more honest mixes, and better results all the way around.
