Measurements are very easy to perform in FuzzMeasure, and simply involve clicking the '+' button in the Toolbar to get started.
You'll notice that when you first reveal Measurement Popover, a warning informs you to make sure the volume on your output audio device isn't turned up too high. If you don't check your volume settings, you may be in for a (painful) surprise.
Once your measurement is complete, it will show up as a new entry in the list of measurement records.
New in 4.0: If you realize you made a mistake in your configuration after pressing "Play", you can press the "Stop" button to cancel an in-flight measurement. |
FuzzMeasure tries to identify issues with the measurement such as an insufficient recording level, or clipping. You can tell your microphone has picked up a clipping value during the measurement if the level meter turns red during the recording. You can reset the level meter by clicking on the main level bars in the middle of the display.
Note: An insufficient recording level is one that does not produce a peak value above -20dB during the sweep recording. FuzzMeasure performs this check to ensure that sufficient signal data is present on which to perform its calculations. |
Tip: If you feel you must do so, holding the Shift key while pressing the "Measure" button will bypass this check. Be absolutely sure that you require such low-level measurements before doing so, because you are not taking advantage of the full dynamic range of your input hardware. |
