Quick tip to check your AV receiver's speed of sound setting:
If your receiver is connected to your home network, you can easily check its "speed of sound" setting by clicking on this link:
192.168.0.229:10443/ajax/speakers/get_config?type=4
(use your receiver's own IP address in your home network instead of '192.168.0.229')
If the response is 'm2fconvert ratio3000' then your SoS is set at 300m/s
If it is 'm2fconvert ratio3048' then your receiver's up to date and SoS is set at 343m/s.

For your 1:1 time with my outdoor sound system. Even though you're still analyzing the results, I want to compensate you for your time so far and show what it means to me. Your videos have opened my eyes to a whole new world of system tuning that I will be studying for years to come.
I am a bit too occupied at the moment with a lot of things but I will try and get this done today.
I have emailed you all FIR and IIR filters.
@@ocaudiophile No worries at all. I know I sprung this on you at short notice. I'm looking forward to learning more as time goes on. I appreciate the attention and references.
Happy Anniversary, Serkan! Audyssey One is two months old today, and I think it's safe to say it has taken the world by storm. Many thanks, again, from all of us. 🥰
Thank you and special thanks for your individual support. Least I can do for such amazing community.
@@ocaudiophile thank you so much! I am waiting for the next update to do another measurement :)
@ocaudiophile This is such an amazing tool. Any ideas how many folks are using Audyssey One? Congratulations on your 2 months anniversary.
@@rafacq Thanks. There's a FB group (I am not the admin) of about 1000 members so safe to say thousands :)
i already know countless enthusiastic users from our home cinema forum in Germany. there are probably a few thousand i guess😊
I'm a software engineer but not in terms of audio. I have been one since the 90s and I can tell that you live and breath this... and I thank you so much for your time and effort... My Denon 3800 is unbelievable and I have the stock Audyssey setting still as a preset and I cannot stand it anymore after hearing what Audyssey One can do. Thank you!
🙏
'I used to be deaf, but now I can hear.'
Thank you so much for this adjustment. It saves me a whole 700€ for Dirac Live. I never imagined that such incredible sound would be possible in my living room, which has extremely poor acoustic properties. Now, listening to music has become downright addictive. I finally understand what 'soundstage' means. Earlier, I actually had to get up from the couch and listen to my center speaker because I wasn't sure anymore if it wasn't playing along, even though I was listening in stereo 😂. Wow, you did just an incredible job on this. Can't thank you enough.
This is AMAZING.
I wasn't expecting such an obvious audible difference after optimizing but holy heck I'm hearing a 3d surround image far beyond anything I heard before. Thank you for this!
Great to hear!

@jdhuisen235 Enjoy
Incredible results in my theater! I don't think I need to splurge for a Dirac license anymore. Many thanks! Please keep up the awesome work.😲
Many thanks!
Script updated with some additional info on crossovers. Multiple subwoofer distance problems should have been completely eliminated now. As an added bonus for all the inconvenience, this one is about 25% faster ;)
Perfect timing for this. Just finishing measurements in directional and standard modes. I would be happy to provide those for your review. Certainly trying the script by myself soon.
Already done with the new script and everything is perfect! I don't know what else you will bring us in the future, but this is the best calibration that my system has so far! 😄Cheers!
Going to remove mini dsp and mso and try new script, I’m thinking bass may be better, as of now I run audyssey with script over mso I’m also thinking I may get better sub mains intergration
I run REW measurements after the script. I found out that subwoofers levels were too low almost 10dB. Maybe LFE used on measuring and when lining up with the EQ target overall level stays too low. Easy to fix by raising all subs, but maybe would be better to update the script to take care of this.
Thanks, OCA! Can you publish your updates to the Github repo? That lets me file PRs against the current version.
Thanks a lot Serko.. My system never sounded this good in years. I tried many things like MultiEQ-X, Spatial toolkit, Magic beans.. Nothing ever worked (and quick) as with A-1.. Thanks so much again.. Keep up the great work
Happy to hear that!
Yo...I love you man. I just moved to a new place and over here I was having struggles with Audyssey and the performance of my subs in my new living room. Your tool fixed it. Thank you x1000. This is pure magic.
Audyssey One will provide perfect Dr Toole target curve response at 75dB (MutlEQ Editor app measured level, -30dB on the receiver scale) at Audyssey Reference setting with Dynamic EQ, Dynamic volume and LFC all off (default). But if you are somehow not satisfied with the outcome or desire certain changes including the ability to use Dynamic EQ, here are some tips to manipulate the sound.
* If you want to take advantage of Dynamic EQ and prefer the higher bass output of Harman Kardon target curve, the settings below will get you the closest system response to Harman curve at 75dB:
Audyssey settings¦ MultEQ XT32: Reference, Dynamic EQ: On, -Reference Level Offset: 5dB, Dynamic Volume: Off, Audyssey LFC: On, -Containment Amount: 1
Surround Parameters¦ Cinema EQ: On
* You find the sound too bright:
"Cinema EQ: On" setting will dim high frequencies gradually from 1kHz onwards by about 4dB at 75dB volume level
* You want more bass but not Dynamic EQ or Harmon curve in particular:
Increase subwoofer volume level
Try inverting subwoofer polarity (there have been cases where Audyssey got it wrong in the first place and A1 doesn't check for that at this time)
"Dynamic Volume: Heavy" setting will tilt the sound response to provide relatively more bass
PS: The effects of the above parameters have been tested directly from preamp outputs of a Marantz SR6015 and may not fully reflect your speakers' in room response.
soll ich die einstellungen vor dem durchlauf oder nach dem durchlauf anwählen.
@@69ETO after, these are optional post optimization tweaks
Thenks for this. This is a tremendous amount of work. What if I live in an apartment and i listen to movies at a moderately low levels? Around 60-70 dBs with peaks to 85 or so? I like to use Multi EQ as it ups the base at low listening levels. Is it ok to leave it on?
P.S. As we are using AVRs mic for measurement, will we get worse results than if we would have used UMIK1 and REW Manual calibration from your previous videos?
I pinned a comment about how to use Dynamic EQ with One above.
I’m surprised at leaving the LFC on with a containment of 1! What’s the benefit there OCA? Just curious. Been using three settings since you posted and sound okay. Tempted to lose the LFC though…
I finally found the "contribution button", thus want to say thank you for your great work, patience and motivation to update and improve your script. My results are so great that I already sold my Dirac Licence. Next step is to get a second subwoofer, looking forward how A1 wil handle and integrate it.
Thank you vm.
Thank you very much with your generous contribution, OCA. My system never sounded better than now, it's amazing how immersive, precise and clear turns out the sound while watching a movie or listening to music after using A-1, even in a really small and complicated room with a 5.1.2 setup.
Thanks, enjoy!
Thanks, and well done sir! My home theatre has never sounded better! My only regret is that I've been missing out on this phenomenal sound for so many years.
Many thanks for your kind gesture.
I've had some issues with my Audyessey app recently where the connection between the app and receiver has dropped out around measurement 7 or 8. It's been incredibly frustrating, and having to run the calibration up to 4 times to get a reading has left me accepting whatever sound quality I could get from the process. I spent 10 minutes last night using the tool from this video and wow, just wow. It's like I just bought a brand new setup, the clarity is nothing short of incredible, I was a little put off by what I perceived to be lower sub output when trying out some test scenes, but with some more testing I see now that the balance of the sub and speakers is utterly perfect. Cannot recommend this enough, it's a life/game changer. Kudos to you sir!
I have this also when i have CEC running. So when I run Audyssey I make sure 0 devices connected to the avr are on.
@@everydayguy3737 Turning the TV on has worked for me thankfully
Denon and Marantz should contact you and hire you as theyr sound engineer . Really awesome sound. In my many years of home cinema at home i didnt get close to these results here with your optimization . Really awesome and remarkable what you achieved . This video sould have millions of views
Thanks for making my system sound so much better. Looking forward to the next release!
OCA, dont mind saying again, you are truly amazing. Not only with your knowledge/passion on the subject, your willingness to share with others and patiently answer any questions thereafter! Those who are enthusiasts in the field will understand the value here. Thank you!
Wow, thank you
OCA, I have 2 subwoofers in my setup and in the speaker configuration use 2 subs. My ZIP file that is created with the ady responses shows only SW10 - SW17. Will the algos you have implemented see this as 2 separate subwoofers and still be able to create individual adjustments?
There should be only one sub in the zip, this is ok. Audyssey uses only one filter for the combination of the 2 subs and this cannot be changed. The filter the script creates are in fact for both subs. So, in short, it will do everything correctly for you and it will keep the relative distance and volume settings between the subs intact so as to keep the accuracy of the filter (because the imported sub response is the result of the two subwoofers with these exact settings only)
Thanks for the prompt response.
A few more observations.
1. The bass response has been the lowest with 'One' compared to any of your other methods. Same original ADY as input. Any thoughts?
2. There are literally no filters at all between 300hz to 3khz. The Immersive Audio method yielded filters in that range. Target curve differences maybe?
3. The sub distance has to be increased as I have verified with REW in the past. Here it tried to set 7.8m which is limited by the 6m limit. Then it set it to 1.08m!. This is even lower than 4.86ft that Audyssey calculated. What do you make of this?
Again, the workflow was a breeze and fun to execute. Thx!
Correction...sorry, I meant to say 4.86m (not ft) as calculated by Audyssey.
An important update has been made to the Audyssey One script v1.3x today:
It's been acknowledged that MultEQ Editor app (and MultEQ-X as well) does not allow for a "soft" change in subwoofer polarity. A1 will now ONLY provide advice if it detects potential benefits from switching subwoofer polarity, indicating it should be done directly on the sub(s).
The script remains unchanged and identical in all other aspects, and if you weren't prompted by A1 to invert the subwoofer polarity before, there's no action required on your part.
Apologies for any inconvenience this may have caused.

Hi! Thanks a lot for this script. I'm been tinkering with my home cinema for years and recently set up 7.2.4 with a Denon X3600H and external amp for the L+R speakers. Subwoofers with miniDSP and MSO but this time I'm running them bare. Comparing with my previous Audyssey XT32 efforts the new calibration without using your script and correcting to 300 Hz was already an improvement. After some hickups of One Drive corrupting the optimized ady file and my subwoofers measuring 45 dB too loud and with too much delay, I got it working with some hacks. Your optimized filters sound the best, by far, of what I've experienced anywhere so far. I use several movie scenes and opening logos I know intimately and they got significantly more clarity. I can pick up details of things in the background I've never heard at all before. Voices get clear as day (Blade Runner 2029 opening for example). Bass is much more defined, confined and I can feel it right for the first time. I still have comparisons to do with my UMIK-1 for spectrograms but so far this is remarkable. Thank you so much!
I was shocked at the extra detail and clarity, I’m running mini dsp and mso for a nice response over 2 seats and run audyssey and script over that, now I’m wondering it could be even better if I take mini dsp out and just use my 3800h sub outs

fantastic video, once again !! your knowledge regarding audyssey is out of this WORLD !!!!
A1 will work with any number of mic positions, so you can stop after the 3rd round if you so wish. You'll have the best sound (but only at a single location) by keeping the mic at the exact central position at ear height and repeat all 8 measurements without moving the mic.
I just tried this method. So far its outstanding. I use Star Wars Battlefront Dolby Atmos demo, more subtle audio all around. Will try regular movies as well.
Intresting
This comment does not get the attention it deserves.
What does exact central position mean, is it the centre of the room or centre of the listening area or the main listening position?
@@oliverheath2000 I think he means ear level. where you sit. Approximately the location, between your heard.
You thought I forgot. I really appreciate the work put forth. Cant wait for your Dynamic EQ update 🥴
Cheera mate!
I was actually looking into making something like this myself. I'm glad someone did it so I don't have to :). Great work, guys. You are changing the game of calibration 100%!
Cool, thanks!
Dude! This latest version is just fantastic!. I've had to make a few changes since my open floor plan is a mess, acoustically. limited gain to +6db and had it correct all the way out to 20,000. The default toole curve is "ok", but I did swap that out to a older school harman + toole curve under (100hz the bass is increased quite a bit) is the main difference. With these changes, it's a MARKED IMPROVEMENT over anything I could get MultEQ-X to do.
Simplemente excelente Script, ahora tengo un sistema de audio del cual puedo disfrutar todo su potencial. Voces nítidas, bajos contundentes, sonido sin distorción, feliz con mi nueva configuración. Felicitaciones!
Muchas gracias.
A1 cannot process directional bass mode, A1 Evo will so keep your ady file and wait just a bit more.
🎊 🎉❤ I want to thank you 🙏 for creating this amazing script.
My system sounds so much better now.
I am in a cocoon of amazing 🤩 sound
Hey thanks, wow! I took the plunge and tried it (took me couple of hours but I succeeded :-))
The bass is much more integrated in the soundfield and my speakers work waaaaayyy better together now - this is a cool soundstage I'm having now! I was surprised upon checking speaker levels with a spl meter that they all are matched at 75db. Only my 2 subs in the front were lower. I tried to boost them a couple of db's but reverted back to the original setting with audyssey one. I liked that better (don't know why that is). The only thing I changed and sounds okay is lowering my 2 front DefTech BP9060 towers from 'your' 80hz to 60Hz without problem. I also engaged Dynamique EQ and set audyssey to 'Flat'. It works Magic!! Awesome, thanks again!!
Thanks for freely sharing your obsession with us. Looking forward to the upcoming release.
🙏
Thank you so much for your work so far, looking forward for a way to apply more manual more gentle PEQ above 100 Hz. Can’t shake the feeling that it’s the one thing my system is missing right now.

For all those that have multiple presets on their AVR. Save you first ADY after you calibrate to PRESET 1, then save the A1 Optimized ADY to PRESET 2. Listen to good movie mix. Then save the Optimized ADY to both PRESETS, but on PRESET 2 change from Reference to L/R Bypass. Now you have a Preset 1 for movies watching & Preset 2 low volume watching. Both have clear center channel clarity and a choice of added BASS if needed. Thank You Mr Compulsive
I use Dynamic EQ + LFC lv7 for night time low volume viewing. Not sure I get understand what L/R Bypass does.
@@Battlem0nk It eliminates the correction to the left and right speakers. I don't understand why people prefer it, but some do.
@@lastbutnotleast1396 On low levels after A1 optimizing, you get more BASS. So i have 1 Preset with the A1 optimized ady and the secon dpreset with it in REFERENCE mode. All this so I do engage DEQ
Script updated with "SR6015", "SR7015", "X8500H" for SoS 300 m/s just now! Download again to update your copies!
Attention multiple subwoofer users: I "might" have found a bug that can affect multiple subwoofer relative delays in some models and have updated the script just now (15:15 CET). This "could" change multiple subwoofer performance considerably. Please run the latest version and let me know if you will hear any difference. Single subwoofer systems (including multiple subs through a MiniDSP) have not been affected from this bug and they don't need to do anything.
Was there a rule that custom distance sub 2 + delay adjustment sub 1 should equal the total distance? The new script looks like custom distance fields were removed entirely. Distances are both 5.19 and audyssey app shows distance of sub 1 as 0 and sub 2 as 0.1.
Yes, that's the bug I am talking about. Some models require customDistance setting and channelReport.distance to be 0, some others only take the distance value from channelReport.distance and ignore CcustomDistance setting value so I removed customDistance from subwoofer altogether. WHat do you see in the AVR settings when you transfer the ady? @@burtonscustom
@@ocaudiophile
Will the script work with the directional operation of two subwoofers?
No!@@TygapbI4
@ocaudiophile Subwoofer 1 is 0 and Subwoofer 2 shows 0.1 for distances in the AVR after transferring it. Denon X3800H
Wow this is incredible and I have just found this at the perfect time. I just installed 2 more subs and have run REW, time aligned, and calibrated all 3 subs as one. So I assume I just treat the 3 subs as a single subwoofer when I re-measure on my Marantz and then bring into REW? Can't wait to run your script and see what it does to my system.

The script has been updated today, incorporating the following enhancements:
• Introduction of a version number for improved user tracking (line 109 in the code)
• Significant revisions to the crossover frequency calculation method, resulting in enhanced consistency.
• Elimination of setting any speaker to Full Range, ensuring that bass is exclusively managed by the subwoofer, which is optimally filtered.
• Implementation of a warning system for cases where volume adjustment for a subwoofer (or subwoofer combination) exceeds the AV Receiver hardware limit of 12dB. In such instances, volume is adjusted to the maximum permissible level, allowing optimization to proceed.
• Introduction of a warning mechanism for cases where volume adjustment for a speaker surpasses the prescribed limit. This is typically indicative of a faulty measurement process, but was seen in rare cases.
• Removal of irrelevant data from REW before the optimization process concludes.
***If you're running into memory problems due to too many speakers, install REW with max. memory option of 3GB. In my tests, it only touches above 2GB usage for a short time.
Better yet, you can right click on the REW shortcut, select properties and replace Target setting box like below:
"C:\Program Files\REW
oomeqwizard.exe" -J -Xmx4196m -api"
This will ensure REW will always start with 4GB of memory allocation and API server running.
Something is not right on this one. My ceiling speakers are all the same model. Now got xo 40Hz on other pair and other is correct at 120Hz.
They must be somehow producing bass until below 50Hz. Did you check the final speaker responses?@@hannu.kalkaja
@@hannu.kalkaja this one crashes / stops for me too... cannot get past " Pinpointing crossover frequencies for each speaker..." ...
It's quite a bit slower than the previous one, doing a lot of extra work for crossover calculation but never crashed in my pc. Can you share your logs or your ady?
I think I know why, probably REW default memory allocation is insufficient for the number of measurements you have. Did you set it up at the max 3GB during installation?
Looks like your amazing work is kinda being hijacked.
Been a follower of what you do for some time now, and it is quite astonishing. Not that I understand it all, but fascinating nonetheless.
Being older I finally got to assemble my dream music/movie system, and you videos are invaluable. Can't believe you give this info away for free.
But, it appears that at least one other youtuber (that I know of) is referencing your hard work to boost their own channel. Not nice in my opinion. But I am older and maybe I am getting it wrong.
He does give full credit though.
Anyway, huge thanks for this, very much appreciated. J.
He's helping people with questions on A1 and also running a facebook page. I cannot cope with all the requests on my own so I am happy with his engagement ;)
I finally got it to work! I then started to think... do companies deliberately make the center channel sound muffled to help boost sales of them in the industry. I always have trouble with dialog the best I can describe it as.. Imagine talking to someone face to face like today when you buy something from a shop and you have the plastic sheet dividing you you have to raise your voice and lean closer to hear what's being said.

Minor bug fix to Audyssey One v1.3x today. The bug was affecting ONLY SOME MULTIPLE SUBWOOFER systems connected directly to the receiver (i.e. not through a MiniDSP). If you are using A1 with such a system, you will most likely benefit from running the revised script. Download link is unchanged (in the video description):
drive.google.com/file/d/1O-yRmbahRFjj0flX_kfgFDj3vrQwvZYq/view?usp=sharing
PS: For peace of mind, please keep using REW Beta 21 until REW Beta releases finalize. Some Beta versions may yield different results and/or throw errors.
Seems to work perfectly, thank you, never thought my system could sound this good!
Got an error "TypeError: customLevel[j].toFixed is not a function - program execution has stopped!" on the new script. Looks like the new code is getting caught on a type conversion on that customLevel array somewhere. This is running an ADY that worked fine on all previous versions of 1.3x.
It's fixed now. Please download the script again.
Hello. I did with A1 v1.3 again. v1.2 put my SW ´-5,5db but v1.3 puts it -3.5db. Its ok?
Hi OCA, thx for the update again. It sounds really good with good bass (Harman Curve), but I noticed one strange thing: previous version said:
"[WARNING] Calculated optimal subwoofer distance of 6.68m exceeds AV Receiver's max. speaker spacing limit [5.42m vs 4.02m]!"
But your latest version says this:
"[INFO] Subwoofer distance is 'optimally' set @ 6.68m and is 'safely' within the AV Receiver's speaker spacing limits."
Makes me wonder.... is it a safe distance or not?
It is also the first version that tells me to invert my subs. Which makes the bass less good... Rest of the corrections are exactly the same.
Genius...If you are planning to visit Dubai, let's meet..! Thanks a Ton!!!
a week of testing with the harmon and dr tool curves every day and i can say the tool curve is absolutely the best curve to use i just give the subs a 2-3db boost, i did start with 6db boost with tool curve but as i listened for a few days i started lowering it, i know when i have good REALLY deep bass when my ears feel like they need popping, great stuff

Minor updates and enhancements have been implemented in the Audyssey One calibration optimization tool today (v1.3):
• The anti-"high frequency roll-off" filter has been recalculated from preamp outputs and now "completely" eliminates the reference curve effect on speaker responses.
• A1 v1.3 detects whether the subwoofer polarity determined by Audyssey needs inversion and automatically inverts it using ady file parameters, resulting in potentially improved bass response in certain systems.
• Upon completion of the optimization process, a copy of the full optimization log will be saved on your computer as a text file for your reference.
• Root causes have been included as informational details in system logs to help with some common errors.
Version 1.3 has a distinct link provided in the video description, while the link to v1.2 will remain accessible to prevent browser caching issues when transitioning to the updated link.

@@ocaudiophile
Hello. Thank you for all the work and dedication you've put into this. I do have a question about v1.3.
I ran the script using v1.3 and it stated it inverted my sub. Ok. I uploaded that .ady file to the MultEQ app, but I noticed all the graphs in the app look the same as the .ady file I made with v1.2.
Would that sub inversion be visible somewhere in a graph, whether it be on the app or REW? Did v1.2 also Invert my sub and that's why both look the same or is that only a v1.3 feature?
I just want to know if to leave the .ady file I made with v.1.2 or if to replace it with the 1.3 version. Hope that's clear.
Im not able to use the new link :-(

Audyssey One has been updated to version 1.2
drive.google.com/file/d/1qnFTmS1687dnYYP5nORx3W1CTF3nQgiq/view?usp=sharing
today with the following improvements and revisions:
* Subwoofer volume alignment frequency range has been modified from 22.3Hz - 178.2Hz to 28.3Hz - 226.3Hz. This change may result in a slight increase in bass response for certain audio systems. However, if desired, the previous frequency range can be reverted by modifying line 625 of the script.
* The calculation of crossover frequencies has been optimized for faster performance and reduced memory usage. As a result, there is no longer a need to increase REW's memory settings. Additionally, the calculated crossover frequencies are FINALLY completely accurate to five decimal places for every possible system configuration.
* To minimize driver loads and increase clarity, any calculated crossover frequency below 80Hz will be automatically raised to 80Hz.
* The logging functionality has been enhanced, providing some additional enthusiast information.
* A timer has been implemented to report the total execution time at the end of the optimization process.
To do:
* Implementing an exhaustive subwoofer alignment process with iterative targeting of minimum total phase delays at the crossover frequencies. Assistance from experienced coders is needed, as my hopeless attempts today have resulted in multiple REW crashes.
* Enabling manual optimal relative alignment of multiple subwoofers by taking Audyssey measurements in 'directional mode' and then switching to 'standard mode.' However, it is uncertain whether Audyssey will accept running the calibration in directional mode on older receiver models, even if the mode can be activated through the app."
Hello OCA, is the google drive linke up to dated? It still shows version 1.1 from 18.03.24 21:25 .Best regards.
Yes, just double checked it. It's v1.2 now!@@miroslavpetkov9895
Hi great channel and very inspiring to me as I've just got the umik-1 also. Just tried yesterday before the update yesterday and now tonight already 2 updates after my first calibration amazing support. Saw some of your other videos and have some questions. I wil totally start over calibration again with my Denon AVR 4400H. Do you recommend me to calibrate the audyssey mic against my umik-1 before starting this software? Should I take 3 Audyssey measurements at the seathing position at the same spot without moving the mic or 8 measurements same spot without moving the mic? Or do you recommend to move the mic and how many measurements to take. Also had former added Curtain to the final audessy XT32 calibration at 300hz are this necessary with your software? Great work 🎉
If you will use REW and Umik, then take just 3 measurements with Audyssey (the bare minimum) all at the same mic position. They will only be used to generate a dummy app for REW filters. When measuring with REW, you can take as many as you want. Repeating measurements at the same mic position also helps increase signal to noise ratio of measurements. The method is detailed in the Audyssey ART video and the Immersive Audio videos. @@dennishlarsen

Is this msg the same in all Versions? Perhaps reposting the google drive link... @@ocaudiophile
WOW...O.C.A. I cant believe the work that must have went into this! I thank you for the work!
Very welcome
Thank you OCA! I could hear the improvement and clarity and mid-high end right away.
Thank you.
Minor update for Mac users just now:
Some Safari browsers were only saving the logs but not the ady file at the end of the optimization. This must have been fixed with this update. Please notify me if the issue continues (I don't have a Mac to try).
Hi OCA! First of all a massive thank you for this! My sound stage is noticeably larger and there's a clarity in my speakers that sounds amazing! Just wow! :D
I do have a Mac and when running v1.2 it creates an ady file ok. However, after just now running v1.3, a log.txt is generated and downloaded but this is still no ady file. Hope this helps! :)
That means the update didn't fix the issue yet, keep running v1.2 or v1.3 with Chrome or Firefox browser for now. I'll see what I can do.
@@ocaudiophile Hey Serkan, I just checked to get you some more input. In V1.3 only the log file gets saved. Version 1.2 works flawlessly on Safari because there's only the .ady file to be downloaded. So I guess Safari has an issue with the second download, which does not make very much sense as at the beginning of the optimization Safari has no issue downloading the extracted measurements and the target curve...
CZcams should allow you to search in the comments or we could start a FAQ, I just searched the comments as after changing the Level on my Arendals to reference level with a new Audyssey calibration the text box regarding the sub delay appeared. I wanted to ask which is better without the text box and alignment on the second attempt or with the text box on the first attempt. Luckily you are so supportive and answer every comment so I already found your answer in an older comment. Very happy with the results!
"User input requirement has no effect on the optimization. It only means Audyssey couldn't align your subwoofer. If the optimization completes with success after that, it means A1 could align your sub. FYI, with or without the user input, the most important factor is how many attempts did A1 take to align your sub. If your sub is aligned in the first attempt, that almost always means remarkably better bass performance compared to the next two attempts."
Hi OCA, Yesterday I did try to V1.3. I am only using one subwoofer. Still it inverted my subwoofer. Why it is so? I never feel to invert my subwoofer.
And A1 always set trim of my LCR to positive 3 to 5db.
In addition, in my LR speaker crossover point there is dip of 18db. Which Ady mobile app corrected in calibration but A1 didn't.
Any way to calibrate full spectrum i.e 20hz to 20khz?
A1 aims to create the best sound not the best graphs ;)
"Audyssey One" minor compatibility update today (v1.3x)
* Updated to address ongoing REW Beta API changes. Please use the provided REW Beta 21 link within A1 until the next update ensures compatibility with the latest REW beta versions.
* Revised default Dr. Toole target curve for roll-off filters in your receiver, providing full flat response throughout the audible frequency range.
* Optimized subwoofer volume level calculation algorithm for increased compatibility.

No more versions of A1 but...
@@ocaudiophile you are a tease🤩
@@ocaudiophilecannot wait for the new rocket 🚀
Hi, why you don't change the version number of a1? Xou bring new Versions, all with the same number?
Thank you for your hard work!
Very Important: First off Audyssey One is amazing, and my system sounds even better now! But, make sure to use the same REW version that OCA has set! Don't be like me and make that mistake
I was using REW Beta 28 (just downloaded most recent since Mac link wasn't in CZcams description), and Audyssey One was setting all crossovers to 150hz in the logs.
This was odd because I did an initial sweep and separate measurement and it measured my L+R mains down to 30hz flat in my room.
After downgrading back to REW Beta 21. Audyssey One put them closer to 40hz crossover. So if you are getting very high crossovers make sure you are on right REW tested version.
It was working fine to up to 26 and then 27 and 28 suddenly changed things. Beta is a work in progress so sticking with 21 until it all settles seems to be a wise decision.
OMG WOW !!! OCA !! you the man !!
excited for this one! thanks OCA!
Hope you like it!
Been watching your videos for a while and this script just took all the tedious work out of the adjustments. Danke!
Thanks for watching!
Ich bin so gespannt 🙏
Danke!
Amazing work brother,
I won’t be using it since I just got my system professionally calibrated but I admire your work and when I get brave enough to do it my self I will definitely go with your file.
I watch all your videos learning so much Thank you 🙏
Glad I could help
Happy to here that from you!
Really appreciate taking my sound system to the next level!
🙏
Thank you for your incredible work!
I exported the .ady file that I currently use on my setup, and AudysseyOne set the crossovers on my LRs and surrounds to full range (they certainly aren't full range speakers). Do I need to take a fresh set of measurements?
Glad it helped!
Are your speakers at corners and very close to side or rear walls? The crossover calculation algorithm is certainly seeing your speakers produce sound down to 20 Hz levels to decide them to be full range.
There's no harm in changing XO frequencies manually btw. Cutting everything at 80Hz is not a bad idea for instance especially for movies.
Let me how it unfolds after a new set of measurements.
@@ocaudiophile"certainly seeing your speakers produce sound down to 20 Hz levels".
I don't think so, the input graphs show my surrounds struggling below 50 hz. I'll file a bug report so we can determine if there's an issue.
I have a lot of suck out between 60 and 80hz with dual subs (15" & 12"). Would you recommend buying a minidsp to first align the two subs as 1 before running audussey? Or something else I can do to achieve a better response? Unfortunately, moving the subs isn't an option. Thank you for your work, fantastic results.
Let's talk after you try the script ;)
I tried the script, it was crazy easy for the great sounded results I got. Maybe the issue is on me. I did 3 positions at MLP. Maybe I can try for 8 all around the MLP. Results sound great. Theoretical graphs look like they could improve. I love numbers and graphs and tend to strive for perfection too much.
8 point measurements would improve things a bit. The best sounding filters will not look the best visually. I have explained in this recent video why you shouldn't correct above 200Hz unless you have really bad speakers:
czcams.com/video/qoFZPlXrTeM/video.html
@@burtonscustom
@ocaudiophile it's the 60 to 80hz that I'd like to improve. Just wondering ways to possibly improve on it. Thought maybe a minidsp would allow for more calibration before running audyssey. Regardless, this is my new running calibration. Already watched two movies on it. Very happy.
The dip you observe there is a room mode (some bass waves reflected from the walls cancelling each other out), is determined by your room dimensions and will not go away even when you change your subwoofer and LP location, although might improve. Best remedy is adding another (or more) sub. Trying to correct it with a boosting filter will only make things worse (introduce distortion to the SW) since you will also boost the cancelling wave. There's only some much digital filters can do.
On the positive side, we don't hear the dips as much as we hear the peaks. Most sharp dips you see in the magnitude response are inaudible to the ear.
OCA just wanted to say thank you for providing this tool. My system has never sounded so good. Again, I cannot thank you enough.
Great to hear!
It worked like a charm. A rare find, and a real treasure.
Enjoy!
Finally the wait is over!!!!
I have an X3600, it is on latest firmware and using the IP lookup it is definitely 300M/S. looking at the script it is not one of the exceptions, can it be added (or is there a way I could add it manually)?
Also, the video does not mention taking the audyssey measurements but I guess we need to do an 8 point measure grouped at MLP and then upload the ady?
Yes, you can edit the code in any text editor, i.e. Notepad and save and it will continue working. The receiver list is at line 121.
You can take as many measurements as you want (Audyssey will require a minimum 3 to end the process though). If the listening area is small, 3 would suffice but the more the better of course.
Denon X4500H is also at 300 m/s according to my measurements.
I added x3600h just in case 😊, its also 300
My Denon 4800 shows:
3048
but I'm not sure where I have to change SoS value...
You don't have to do anything, 4800 is known to the script@@ampueron
Keep up the good work! Looking forward to your next creation!

This is amazing ! Thank you so much for your great work!

Thanks for the videos, they are amazing. Learned lot from them. Can you add X3500H to 300 SoS list?
Added thanks.

Thank you very much for your work and dedication, it is wonderful.
Hey OCA! Long time since the last adyssey video!
Wanted to ask if this correction technique would work the same if we feed the script rew manual ummik1 measurements, instead of the avr default mic ones, and use the values of the generated ady file to insert in our multq x pc app?
I guess it wont work cause of the high frequency rolloff compensation?
Is there a way to mitigate that for multeq x users?
Thank u in advance for any feedback!
We much appreciate your efforts for the Audio Valhalla
Dear John, I cannot decrypt the "mic calibration file" embedded in mqx measurements (they have used SHA 256 encryption) although I can read mqx measurements and import to REW. The response will always be a little off by an unknown mic cal amount. It's possible to decrease its effect by using the standard Audyssey mic cal file as a dummy but this wouldn't make guys like you very happy! Hence the lack of support for mqx in my script.
Since the filters are not produced by REW EQ but pure inversion, there's no way to export them as biquads to x, either.
One benefit for you would be using the volume settings found by the script and use them in MQX as base. The volume alignment in the script (including SW volume) is state of the art and cannot be matched manually.
@@ocaudiophileI think we can make the script work all the same, if we replace the exported ady measurements with our rew ones (i guess we need to name them as we saw in the video).
The only thing that i need to try this out, is if you can tell me what line of code should we look to change for the high frequency rolloff compensation you are deliberately making, can you tell me where you are making this so i can disable it for me?
As long as you keep the responses data at perfect speaker norm, you can use any filters you want with the script including filters based on REW/Umik measurements. You just should not use mqx measurements.
Anti HFR1 is the additionalRows constant at line 822, delete that and it will no longer be applied.@@johnaps
@@ocaudiophileI will not mess with the editor app nor the ady file, so i guess i can just use the script to do the rew corrections to my measurements automatically, and then populate the results inside my multq x app! Perfecto! Will try it out today
***Important: I have figured the reason behind the rare 0m distance problem thanks to calibration file shared by @matten545.
If Audyssey measures your subwoofer's actual required delay (distance) higher than the 6m speaker spacing limit, it will set all speaker distances in the ady file to 0!!!!
The app then sets the subwoofer distance to the maximum allowed and fills up the rest of the speakers accordingly. The only work around that was to ask the user for a distance estimate which is now added in the script.
So, if the script is asking you to manually enter your center speaker distance, it's ONLY because even Audyssey has found that your subwoofer requires a delay larger than the maximum distance limit.
@ocaudiophile I'm not sure is the only case because in my case the App reports 3.98m but inside the .ady file all delays are set to 0. Linked the .ady file and a screnshot of the MultiEQ file. And many thanks for your great work ! I tried to find where in the files are the distances that the screenshot shows without success.

Thanks for this script. I tried it; I must admit it completely neutered my bass. Enabling Dynamic EQ (Reference) fixed this. The sound quality is certainly more 'clearer' and 'forward' than base Audyssey. The script did boost my rear surrounds by quite a lot; I had to turn that down.
Thanks for the feedback, did you try the new Evo version?
Danke!👍

I would really appreciate, if you could count up versions. It is just so confusing to have the third, fourth, fifth, … version with the exact same number 1.3x. I know, no major upgrade, but to my mind every change in the code would justify a 1.31, 1.32, 1.33, … Common Software Convention ;)
Have a nice day and a big cheers

Which is not even close and and rather unintuitive. Version numbers were invented for a reason. But hey, your software, your rules. No offense, just a hint to a better user experience. And as i speak about that: your software is awesome - the whole publishing with links (mostly not working) in the description, on youtube, within hundreds of comments is (sorry to say so) a total mess! Unworthy for such a beautiful piece of software and a real pitty. Even though I try to follow changes and comments, I feel more and more totally lost on what changed with what, which version of rew to use, … Crawling through a ton of contradictionary descriptions and comments … Feels just very frustrating and please let me assure you, that I am not alone with these feelings. Again, no offense.
By the way: the link in the description to Google Drive is not working. At least for me it is not.
Love your work! Hate the way it is published and maintained.
Cheers and have a nice day! :)
@@c.o.s.softwaregmbh9247 Thank you for your feedback. I understand your concerns about the versioning and the organization of information regarding the scripts and REW versions.
The version of REW used in these scripts has remained consistent as Beta 21 since the very first launch two months ago. Recent beta releases of REW have introduced changes to their API handling, which can cause compatibility issues with older beta versions. As a result, I have been providing links to the specific REW Beta 21 installers for Windows and Mac within the scripts themselves, as older beta versions are no longer available for download from REW's server.
I appreciate your point about version numbering being a standard practice for better user experience. However, in this case, I have not changed the version number as the underlying method and functionality of the scripts have remained the same.
Regarding the confusion around download links, you're correct that the video descriptions may sometimes link to outdated versions due to browser caching issues. The chaos in the comments section is a result of me personally replying to each and every one of over 2,000 comments, unlike most other channels.
As an independent creator managing this channel, I could explore hosting the files elsewhere to improve accessibility, but my primary focus is on providing free tutorials to the audio enthusiast community, with view count being the primary metric for reaching a wider audience.
I'm glad to hear that you find the software itself useful. I acknowledge the frustrations caused by the organizational challenges you've highlighted, and I appreciate your constructive feedback. Rest assured, I'm continuously working on improving the user experience while balancing the demands of managing this channel as a solo effort.
Thank you for your understanding and for your kind words about the software. I hope this explanation provides some clarity, and I welcome any further suggestions you may have.
Script updated just now with a fix for multiple sub distance settings transfering incorrectly to certain models. Please give feedback and share your ady file if you are still seeing subwoofer distances as 0 in your AVR setup menu!

Bitte testen Sie erneut mit dem neuesten Skript, das vor wenigen Sekunden hochgeladen wurde! Lassen Sie mich wissen, wenn das Problem weiterhin besteht.@@777Gurus
I run the script on standard mode measurements. Work's very well and I have better results than before. No problems with sub distances, but unfortunately there's dip on freq response. So alignment is not optimal for that. Timing is much better now than before, but again it's mostly because I have moved subs closer to MLP.
I tried directional mode, but script gave me an error. I would like to see how I could use individual measurements from each subs to achieve best combined results. My plan is to run subs always on standard mode. Maybe I could use measurements and manually align+eq them in REW, then upload parameters by using MultEQ-X.
Once more. Just great work and thanks!
Thank you for your work to the community. It worked great. One minor thing I noticed is that it is setting crossovers to the least of all the speakers. Audyssey configured my LR and C as 60 and surrounds as 40. Your program has set all the speakers to 40.
I'd stick with my script's settings but then this is me :)
@@ocaudiophile 😀 general suggestion is we can increase crossover but never reduce it. Isn’t that true?
Yes, you will risk losing some bass region completely if you lower your XO frequencies.@@kiranreddykasa

Finally got my theater renovation done and was able to try out A1 for the first time this weekend. Thus far I am very impressed....especially what it did to my dialogue intelligibility. I did have to bump the sub trim on my AVR +3db cause bass seemed a little too "subdued" for me. The A1 log did show a Warning about the optimal subwoofer distance exceeds AVR max. I am using a single sub out from my Denon X4400 to a Minidsp which outputs to two subwoofers. Before running A1....I time aligned and EQd the subs using REW. I also tried not doing the EQ with Minidsp which got rid of the warning but the response for the sub was not as linear as the one I get with EQing the subs to flat using MiniDSP before running A1. I guess the MiniDSP EQ is adding delay. The log also gave me the suggestion to flip the polarity which I have not tried yet.
Wait for A2 to invert your sub(s).
Yeah I paid for DIRAC- and this sounds better.. way to go. For some reason subs are so far out program just forces 5.99.. I like how the program acts like with my response
8:55:48 AM [LOG] Subwoofer measures flat down to 13.18360Hz!"
You must have a hell of a subwoofer to go that low ;)
Thanks OCA, this looks amazing! Can't wait to try it out 😃
* My X4400H is connected to network, but doesn't have a web interface so the provided link doesn't work. I believe the speed of sound is 300 given the AVR's age.
4400 is in the database of the script and will be correctly treated. You should see a confirmation in the logs while the script is working.
Thanks for this great tool! Used this with the harman kardon target curve. And it sound great
Lovely!
It looks really good, unfortunately it doesn't work without a subwoofer.
I don't think it's mentioned anywhere, would it be possible to add this warning stoneware?
Really impressive work, not for me unfortunately.
Sounds Great on my x4700h thanks! . Found the dynamic EQ on makes it Sounds proper, a little to flat for my taste without it enabled.
