well when i play music i want to hear more than just the bass, then watch crap move around in my car or stage i work with real sound systems i dont do sound drag racing for the work that i do is real sound for concerts for metering i use an app called audio tools with an iAudioInterface2
with a Audix TM1 Test and Measurement Mic
i have been running this setup for a few months now and it works great
I have mixed for artistes like skillet, pillar, toby mac, oc supertones, and jeremy camp, just to name a few. it takes real talent to mix 16+ channels of audio any yahoo can play sweeps from a tone generator and try not to fry there amps and blow there woofers
whoa getting defensive over there?
you're obviously ignorant to the hobby. sweeps? do you really think that i just drive around listening to sweeps? my mids and highs keep up fine with my current two 18's getting about 4,000 watts to the pair. it's called having balance. you've probably listened to people who 'went to crutchfield' and got the 'bass package' and never touched their doors once. just went to some installer who overcharged them and said "here ya go now you have bass" and they walked out with their two Kicker's (LOL) thinking they were the best and loudest in their town... not to mention that prefabricated enclosures have a bandwith of maybe 15hz at most and are usually tuned in the mid 40's.
i can play any kind of music in my car and i have a lot of flexibility for my sound. especially when it comes to having a 32 band EQ, time alignment, positioning, etc... it also is a huge help having an LC-1 to increase/decrease RCA signal to the sub amp, as opposed to using a gain knob that's constantly adjusting your gain, and don't even get me started on bass knobs.
using an iOS sound meter is like using the iOS weight scale apps.... it's just not accurate. and if it is so accurate, explain to me how people are doing 170db with two 15's from those apps? they just don't work.
