WELL HAVE FUN, 
and i'll follow thru with IK

That's a real bummer Bat. Hope you get it worked out ok. I believe OBI will take care of it. The only problem I ran into was knowing which mic to use. Apparently there were two and mine didn't match either description. I finally got it all settled.

I'm actually pretty surprised to see you getting Arc-2 Bats. You're mixes have always been some of the best home studio mixes I've heard on any site dating years back. I always assumed you had like the best mixing room on the planet. Something changing or are you trying to find a mobile solution?

lol, GRANT......
 
i have the CRAPPIEST room in the planet.
heheh
 
actually, i have treatment, but not enough....
i need better monitors (i use old KRK Rokits, with the 5" drivers)
 
i have found the ARC curve, to be exactly as i thought it was, and what i have to do to get my mixes balanced, is really a lot of work on the low end....unnecessary work...
 
i'll post a screen shot of what it had to do to get my room flat.
you'll laugh.
 
 
i think i may re-arrange my whole studio setup, just to try to flatten the curve out a bit before the ARC.
 
 
so, as an update to my original post:
 
 
i fixed the mic myself. just backed the set screws out, ground off the side rib of an older mic cable, inserted it in the mic barrel, and rotated the pin face until it lined up the way it was supposed to...
 
screwed the set screws back in, and plugged my good cable in, did a good room calc with the mic, and i'm rolling.
 
 
i'll post a mix soon, so i can get some feedback from you guys on how it's translating now....

 Cool, if you have a before and after that would be cool if it's a DL, having some flash streaming issues.
 
Cool you got the mic working.
 
Looking forward to your screenshot too.

Glad you got it all sorted out. I also thought you had some killer mixes before. It sounds like you already knew the weaknesses . ARC can help to make the whole setup work a little better in your studio.
 
I always check my mixes both with and without and it amazes me the difference between the two. I need to work harder to make it sound good in ARC lol.
 
 

Agreed, it makes  a huge difference. It actually took me about a week to get used to how it sounded with ARC because I was so used to mixing in my room without it. After I adjusted I was able to work out a mix in much less time and able to use my FX quicker than before because I knew what I was hear and trusted it a lot more.

Here's mine. Is your room this bad?
 

 

Actually Clint, that looks pretty darn good compared to mine. I'm trying to get a screen capture but looks like my 3D driver won't let that happen in Win 7 64, failed with both print screen and paste and fraps. I'll try to get a capture of it from my XP partition.  Thanks for posting that

I can't wait to hear the difference.
 
I have been looking for before and after mixes for awhile.
 
Thanks Bat.
