Thanks for the input everyone and I appreciate you explaining things in a better way than I can Erik.
To clarify, I am trying to avoid having to use any external hardware so trying to get this all done via softwares only, as first option. Should BA1 not work then I will get an external sound card.
I am not understanding guys on BA1 supporting VST’s. Does this mean BA1 can be a VST “Host” so I can apply vst fx as we are doing in Reaper? If yes then Eric if you are up to it we can try experimenting with BA1’s trial and then would have no need for Reaper, is what I am thinking?
Thanks for coming to my rescue again! So you see, I am finally getting this done.
Yeah basically same as I was told by BAE’s support. I was trying to get it done with BAE as I already have the license but guess I will need to shell out for the BA1.I will try the BA1 demo first to make sure. Will report back.
Wait. I am wondering we might be approaching this from the wrong angle maybe. Shouldn’t we be trying to get windows sound driver to play through BAE because if we use BAE for Reaper only then I won’t get my other players to work through it?
Thanks! Actually I briefly tested it earlier today by placing one of the EV full range at the side wall and now I’ve got double the bass output! In the morning I am scheduled to get one of the EV Eliminator Sub [guy has only one] so then I will be able to tell more.
Actually guys, on further testing with using the full range EV’s as subs. I realize if i keep the bass volume level high but at a certain level and not overdriven there is only one area in the room like 8′ away from the speaker where I hear a vibration type nolse but nothing is actually vibrating.
There is a sidedoor at that location, the door is closed but it’s along the line of that door from left to right that I hear the noise and that spot seems to be where the bass is the weakest. This was the same situation with the EAW’s placed in it’s normal spot at the back wall and facing forward.
All great advice guys, thanks!
I have planned to get some of these cork/rubber feet

to place between the sub, mid and horns to help with the speaker cabs vibrating and will need to check on what else is vibrating around the room.
Yes Milky I had realized before getting that Monster EAW that I would be using it in an environment for which it was not built. Also, since the vibrations only come at high volume I may need to be content with keeping it al a certain level.
I will try to work on adjusting BAE in a few days after I should have done the placement testing with the EAW. If the EAW’s new positioning [facing sidewall] should not work as well as the EV’s then I will try to get the Sub 18″ version of my EV’s and experiment with placing one under the other speakers at the back wall facing sideways and the other at the middle of the side wall [flanking] to see if that will help even more.
Regarding Compression, my only reason for looking into this for the bass is to try to get all mp3’s bass at a constant level so no vibration issues.I can’t think of any other way to do this.
Oh gosh, so sorry I did not give enough details guys, my apologies. Here’s the whole shebang and where I’m at currently. Playing mp3’s there are some tunes which vibrate different things, some may vibrate the speakers sitting on top of my sub and other tunes will vibrate the shelves and ceiling. I am trying to find some way to have every tune play without any vibration issues, at loud volume.
I don’t seems to have as many problems whenever playing internet Radio though.One guys aid that most likely the Radio is not allowing more than normal bass to come through plus they might be using expensive compressors and limiters on their end.I will get back to this vibrating issue after I address this other issue.
Milky, you know how long I have been battling this issue with my garage room’s acoustics but this is the latest development on a related matter which I can use some advise/opinion on please.
I have cabinets, shelving and whatever else placed along the back and side walls of the rectangular shaped room which measures 10’W x 25’L and 8’H.
I have always had an issue with hearing the bass in different ways or lower tones at different spots in my Garage. I can’t do anything about the room itself, it is what it is. Few days ago, I wasn’t getting any sound from my EAW SB1000 Sub so I pulled it out and plugged it’s cable from the Amp into my Full Range EV Eliminators to rule out any equipment issues. I then checked and it was the SB1000’s speakon connector which had failed.
Thing is when I plugged the Bass Amp into the EV’s, the EV’s was in the middle of the room facing the side walls and I noticed that no matter where I stood in the room the bass was constant. So I decided to experiment further and placed the EV’s where the EAW Sub was but placed them facing sideways towards the side walls between the 2 Shelving at the back wall and now the bass sounds equal at any spot in the Garage.
Please see attached pic of the back wall of my Garage. I am thinking of trying the EAW sb1000 sub in the same position but right now those are the EV’s showing on the bottom of the pic facing sideways between the 2 storage shelves. As you can see there is some space like maybe 10″ on each side facing the shelves. Now if I were to place the EAW sub in that same way there would hardly be any free space on either side so might this be safe for the woofers please, if I should get the same results? Thanks guys.
Ok, will try that, thanks. I have the screenshot showing it’s registered so hopefully that plus my email will be enough.
Well guys, I just listened to an hour of music with BAE running and as mentioned I played some problem tunes and from different sources and BAE worked very well.
So, not sure if I will need to do any tweaking at all but I will report back if ever needed but I am very happy with BAE, appreciate it guys [Milky], Happy Holidays to you all and be safe! Mike.
Right, I remember, we were trying out both Stereo Tool and the other Multiband Compressing softwares which did not work well for me as they both were coloring the sound but thanks a million again for your very many efforts!
Milky was the first one to mention and recommend BAE years ago and I had tried the demo and it had worked great for volume leveling but since OTS has a built-in AGC/Compressor/Limiter for volume leveling and does a good job at it I did not see the need to use anything else for that purpose.
Thing is, at that time when I had tried BAE’s demo I wasn’t looking into Multiband Compression, it’s only a short while back when Milky mentioned it again and that it can help with Multiband Compressing that I decided why not give it a shot? So I just purchased it and will try it out tomorrow and will report back on Sunday.
I have a very specific REGGAE mix which was recorded with a lot of mids and highs which I will play outside of OTS and also I have some tunes I play in OTS which has louder Mids/Vocals too. If these specific tunes can all play with around the same level of vocals/highs then I will know where I’m at with BAE and then work on it from there.
Ok thanks, will try the demo hopefully this coming Saturday, I don't use any external soundcards, only the mobo's built-in card and output, would this work or would I need any external hardware? Also I will need this for OTSAV software too meaning for 2 different music playback softwares, what would be the situation then please installing BA for 2 softwares with myself not having to do any backend re-routing when switching between any of the 2 music softwares?
