Hmmmm. I see a copy of my mackies.arc file from "My Documents\ARC System\Filters" in "My Documents\ARC System 2\Measurements".

But in ARC 2 it is not in my drop down list. 

Cest le Vie.

I just read this at GS concerning JamPoints:

"Since the scenario was a little odd where you'd have to wait to use your JamPoints to get a better deal, we've added the ability to use JamPoints on the upgrade to defer 25% of the total. So you can now put up to 25% equivalent JamPoints into the cart and reduce the upgrade price.

Thank you for reporting this and I apologize for any inconvenience. In the case where you've already purchased, if you could please contact us and we'll have support and order processing work with you to get it resolved."

This is great news.  Just last month time took its toil on over half my jampoints because they expired!  That policy of expiration absolutely stinks!!!!!  I have been buying amps and cabs in the custom shop, and have bought the entire IKM pro studio line.  I have been hoping and waiting for IKM to release this ARC2 upgrade and the long promised and never arriving ST3 before I lost my jampoints, but alas most of my jampoints just expired last month.  How can you tell if they are expired you might ask?  Well they are now grayed out now and when you go to purchase the total available jampoints is now reduced (drastically in my case).  At least I still had some left and I can use 25 of the remaining for this Arc2 Upgrade.  

So thanks Carl for this post. 

Again, the expiration of our jampoints is a real pain.  I know, I am venting again!

After contacting IK's support a few hours ago I just received a refund for $25.00 towards the purchase of the upgrade.

Great job IK, appreciate the refund & added reduction.

I too received the $25 credit from jam points for the upgrade. Thanks for the info Carl. Thanks to IK for the kind gesture.

I haven't been able to do anything except read the manual so far due to severe storms here.

I had made a measurement template that was placed on the floor to take 32 measurements for arc 1. From what I read in the manual it looks like 16 measurements are the max you can take, using arc 2, for any one setting.

Can anyone confirm that 16 is the max in arc 2? If so, I need to start making another template as it worked out very well before.

Kind regards,
Rick

because your Arc1 graphs look very similar to mine

and mine.


hmm.

Does make one wonder. If not for the audible results one could imagine the "algorithm" is nothing more that a graphics statement. LOL!!!!

Rick,

Same thing here with the storms yesterday. My Furman voltmeter was down to 109 so I had my computer off all day. 
 

I just did my first set of measurements & there's only 16 points possible.
My template is 30 & so I just varied them. 

Also I forgot, the last measurement needs to be middle of left & right ( I don't necessarily mean listening 'center') correct?

I don't have the manual in front of me but IIRC when your first point is middle / center (mono) the last even numbered measurement needs to be somewhere center point (mono) too. 

Otherwise if you ended with say a left point measure (#16) there wouldn't be a right measurement for the last pair of measurements to even out the calculation.


Anyways that's how I've been doing it!

Thanks for the info guys. I'll just take the 14 measurements similar to the IK project studio layout and see how it goes. At my age, I consider it a good day when I learn something new.

Thanks again,
Rick

Has anyone exported a mix and listened to it elsewhere? How's the translation, etc? Is it better than arc1? Thanks.

I would be more than happy to oblige (comment on audible differences) any and all that post a before/after mix with Arc2. I don't use this software but am curious about it. 

Reece, remember to check the proper mic type and set interface to 48KHz (if you don't already).

So I take it you guys are all liking the new ARC? You can really hear a difference in quality with the recent integration of the MultEQ® XT32 technology.

I don't think that you have to do this.

IIRC, whenever I ran the tests with v1 of ARC, the software automatically set my MOTU to 48KHz for the testing phase and returned it to 44.1KHz when it was done.

I know that I didn't change anything.

Yes, actually it did for me as well.  but I didn't want bapu to feel unneeded.

Betterer than having me do a bazz track that NEVER sees the light of day

DANG!!!  I thought I uninstalled NAGBAP!!!
