Metric Halo 3d is a DSP (Digital Audio Processing) card, which hosts multiple effects such as reverb and delay, as well as a summing mixer for my flute, Wind Synth (NuRAD), and the MainStage app. The mixer is controlled by expression pedals via MIDI.
However, the most important usage of the 3d DSP for my setup is to tune the output monitor. The Mackie SRM150 monitor speakers are only 5.25″ and are not flat-responding ones. I use Metric Halo ULN-2 3d onboard DSP 12 Band EQ to compensate for the issue.
First, I use Metric Halo SpectraFooX to output pink noise from the Mackie SRM150 stereo pair, then loop the signal back using one of the EarthWorks condenser microphones to measure the discrepancies, which then the 12 Band EQ to surgically correct.

It is worth mentioning that the 3d DSP mixer allows two signal paths, one for the Mackie SRM150 output and the other for the FOH (Front Of the House) engineer with a clean signal without the EQ.




SpectraFoo provides all of the tools today’s digital projects demand. Whether you are a live sound engineer or a studio mixer, you need the power that Foo provides. Including standards-based level metering, high-speed, high-resolution spectral analysis, the unique Phase Torch, correlation metering, triggerable waveform display, power balancing and a variety of power, envelope and spectral histories and phase analysis on any number of input or output channels, the SpectraFoo range is absolutely essential for broadcast production and critical mixing & mastering.
SpectraFoo is used around the world for analysis in mixing, mastering, acoustic analysis, live audio and electronics.

Production Bundle is a suite of signal processing plug-ins that let you stop recording and start making records. With all the critical tools you need to shape, tame, manipulate, and master your tracks, it is the essential audio engineering toolset that no one should be without.
