can anyone hook me up with tones?

Keep in mind that burnt files may have an effect on your score if thats what your wanting the tones for.

You could be 1-2db down on a burnt cd compared to the original copy.

just an fyi

I dont post simple questions every 5 minutes..I can answer simple questions..if it was simple and something easy to search for I can do that myself.

i found a link to the ROE tone via google //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

okay..now with that question answered..
does each system/build/setup etc..have a different "best" tone so to speak..

example..You take 2 cars with the same setup same everything...One plays a 60hz tone...one plays a 80hz tone..Whos winning on the meter?

yes, everyone should know there peak frequency if they have a system.

for example...i peak at 42hz so if i was burping i would go full tilt on a 42hz tone for 3 seconds. if i think its a lil more in it i will go down to 41hz or go up to 43...some mic's can be a tad more sensitive then others

then how do people play it then for competing? you have to have the sound coming from somewhere..I guess your saying when your getting metered..say you turn up getting a 150.2 you would in your mind actually be at a 151-152?

okay..and how would you determine that? just put a few test tones on a cd and play them and see what sounds best?

maybe a 40hz, 50hz, 60hz, 70hz tone and try them all out..if the 50 hz sounds good but think you can do better go back and get a 53hz or something like that?

We use official usaci cd's @ events- db drag etc..

Not burnt copies.

When you start competing youll find this out

ah okay..thats good to know. thanks.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Every car has different acoustics, and will have a different peak frequency. Now in your example, it's a tossup who would win as it depends on the cars and boxes tuning. The majority of daily built systems would actually probably do horrible with those tones, :lol:. From what I've seen, daily systems generally peak between 30-50 hz or so. My last setup peaked at 39hz, and I have yet to get this new setup metered so I don't know.

We played a song through USB in bassrace- and then with the original cd, and it was 1.4db down with the usb.

Im guessing the file quality is down from original copy

Im sure a few people could tell you about the quality difference when they use an ipod compared to a cd.

Im gonna start using a record player now

Trying to determine the peak by ear can be a bit off and inaccurate. Generally the best way to find your peak is (depending on tuning) get a CD with every tone from 30hz - 50hz or so and play each tone on the meter and see which one gives you your peak score... Say it's 46hz. Then you will use 46 hz at the next competition, but depending on the number, switching down to 44/45 or up to 47/48 may yield you a better result.

yeah..well I knew that if you took an original song copy and burned it to a disk it would lose some of its quality.

no the easiest and only real way IMO is by a termlab. do a sweep and it will show your peak frequency.

you can never go ear o meter

i think a 35hz tone sounds better to me but in all reality its the 42hz that actually registers higher

use mine as it will have the realest effect //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

I agree with him, I just use the tone by tone method since I've never managed to get a CD with a sweep //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif
