hsmusic Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 (edited) i had the first release of this but switched to SonarWorks...Does this still need to be set up accurately or have they changed the measurement set-up? I had to measure using a plumb bob & markings on the floor otherwise it sounded pretty bad. Edited February 22 by hsmusic 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fret_man Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 I, too, am curious how this compares to SonarWorks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Stranghoener Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 is anyone aware of any upgrade price? It looks like the software alone is $99 for anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There apparently is only the upgrade from the Software with Mic for $249... No upgrade price for Studio if you already own the ARC 3 Software apparently Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IK Multimedia Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 (edited) The software only is 99.99 upgrade from ARC 3, not for anyone. If you don't have ARC 3 (or Total Studio 3.5/4) the price is 199.99. Anybody who has the qualifying products will see 99.99 pricing automatically on the site as we show you your pricing when logged in. For the ARC Studio hardware (which includes ARC 4) the upgrade is for registered users of ARC (any version with mic), iLoud MTM or Precision. I have inquired about the "with mic" portion though as folks may have picked the MEMS mic up separately and technically you can use any measurement mic with ARC 3. Not sure what the answer will be but I've pushed that up the pole. Edited February 22 by IK Multimedia 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This might be due to having the Arc 3 software only but the mic version. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluzdog Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 I do like the idea of a the hardware version. It would be cool if it could handle multiple sets of monitors and associated settings. Maybe with a monitor controller and different presets. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mibby Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 Can we run the correction outside of our daws yet? I didn't see any mention of it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes if you buy the 299$ package since the hardware box is external by definition. But I assume your question is for the software only version and I don't think they have a system wide driver. I think they would have advertised it if they did and since they have a solution for this through their hardware box, I don't see the point for them to develop a system wide driver. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommy Byrnes Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 I don't think I would want to have this hardware box be the last converters in the chain instead of the converters in my RME UFX3. 4 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dumbquestions Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 (edited) Is the studio box redundant if you have no issues running arc through an app that can run plugins on systemwide audio, like soundsource on mac? lets say if latency wasn’t an issue either, outside of having an extra correction profile, & externally processing correction to the full system’s audio, are there other benefits (to getting the box) i may be missing?

I use Element all the time but never thought to use it with ARC. I use it to build VST chains and use loopback in RME's TotalMix FX to track and record with any plugin in real time. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LittleStudios Posted February 23 Share Posted February 23 I have ARC 3 with the mic. When I log in and check my upgrade price to got to the hardware option it lists $249.99. Does this sound about right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had to measure using a plumb bob & markings on the floor otherwise it sounded pretty bad. I've got Arc3 and it was fairly to set up and measure and works great. I'm just disappointed there's not the "system wide" option - until now - with additional hardware. (?) @LittleStudios Same price for me as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, this is what I was hoping for with the new version. I don't understand why they would introduce new hardware when it's obviously doable with software. I need to read up on it more, but... (??)
