Used the House Curve app for first time. Added to convolution filters in Roon. The sound is not very good at all. Wondering what I did wrong?

Thanks, I will try again and post. Question, once I ran the test signal, then got the impulse wav file from that, all I did was add it to Roon convolution filter. I did not make any adjustments because I thought that it was done by the impulse wav. Am I right or am I missing steps? Also, I’ll move t…

Did you enable the clipping indicator (enable Headroom in Muse and set it to 0 to make it work) and check for clipping? Convolution can drive the signal into clipping and that’s probably the most likely case if it sounds really bad

Yes I did that. There was clipping so I adjusted for that. But that’s all I did.and thought that’s all I needed to do. I’ll try the process again but don’t see how anything will change. I thought I could just run it and not have to do anything manually except for the headroom adjustment. Had to adju…

Aggressive overcorrection can also be problematic. When I tried the new FIR filter I tried pinning it hard onto a straight line and then it sounded worse. Also difficult to say because I don’t know in which way it sounds worse for you. In my room with my speakers there is way too much bass with the…

Bear In mind because of the way these corrections work it often brings overall level down quite significantly. Are you sure you’re compensating for how much quieter it will be now?

I doubt the amplification makes any difference. Also, how did you measure?

Why does House Curve app sound worse than without

Difficult to say without knowing what you did. Loads of information to read in this thread and probably best to ask there. Post a screenshot of your correction curve and maybe describe your process
