Using ERGO in WDM modem you cannot set a buffer size value in the Control Panel
This is normal operation, to manually select buffer size you must use ASIO drivers.
The Calibration Microphone cannot detect a loud enough level
Turn up the level on your monitoring system; it needs to excite your room in order for ERGO to measure it accurately.
This should not happen on Macs, since the Mac OS can aggregate, or combine, multiple devices into a single interface.
Windows users have a couple of options:
Windows systems can only have a single ASIO device.
Use your main ASIO device when tracking, and switch to ERGO ASIO when mixing down.
Take a SPDIF or analog out from your existing FireWire interface and plug it into ERGO. In this mode, you can unplug
ERGO from its FireWire port and power up using the external power adapter. ERGO's S/PDIF Inputs and converters are
of the highest quality, so there will be no degradation when using this approach. In fact, if your DAW is already
optimized, we suggest that you use this approach.
An elderly computer does not detect ERGO
ERGO needs Leopard (10.5.x) or Snow Leopard (10.6.6)
The Calibration Microphone appears not to be working
You need to have the Calibrate switch on the back of ERGO pushed in order for the microphone to work. Make sure the
Calibrate LED on the Front Panel is illuminated. Use only the KRK measurement microphone! Don't plug in any other
microphone in for calibration. If you lose your KRK measurement microphone, you can buy a new one from KRK
customer support at (954) 949-9600.
You cannot differentiate between ERGO in bypass and processing modes.
Your room may already be very good, so ERGO is only optimizing smaller nodes and room problems. This is very
unlikely, however. ERGO's effects can range from subtle to extreme, so there should be a difference. In particular,
listen for the following:
• Improved imaging
• Tighter bass
• More definition among instruments
RoomKnowledge will not reach 100%
The complexities of any room and the way room knowledge is calculated means that 100% can rarely be reached.
After 9 measurements the system will have reached the maximum knowledge ERGO can achive.
