I want to start a new thread for SOUNDEASY speaker design software, or at least encourage someone to initiate a general DIY Soundeasy forum thread.
It goes without saying that the Yahoo Soundeasy Group is not useful, and no longer shows member posts {no archive}.
Anyway, I’m having a Soundeasy v25 crossover design project problem and I don't know where in this DIY website I can ask for suggestions.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm having a problem with Soundeasy (v25) ‘automatically’ changing my driver files (Amplitude and Impedance plots) when opening a new project.
When I open a new project, and load my driver measurement files (done by Soundeasy 25 measurement system), the driver amplitude and impedance plots are surprisingly changed.
After opening the project, I checked to see if the driver measurement plots are still the same as when I did the original driver measurements. {Note: I did not go to driver editor and did not attempt to model the driver’s magnitude or impedance plots. I did not go to the enclosure design menu, either.}
I did this check of the three drivers after opening the new project, by navigating to menu “CAD Frequency / Time Plot Control” & then select Plot Parameters: “SPL of ‘Driver Type Is” with selection of the appropriate node for each of my three drivers in my new three-way speaker design project (.wfr, .mrd., or .twe).
To my astonishment, the magnitude & impedance plots of the drivers (using “SPL of Driver Type Is”) are not the same as when I open each driver file by itself (no project open) . The amplitude and impedance plots for each driver file are OK = the same as when I did the original SE driver measurements.
What could I be doing wrong in SEv25?
Thanks in advance,
Bill

This problem was solved some time ago.
Turned out that I was basically unaware of changed & incompatible 'frequency range' settings in the SoundEasy program 'preferences' drop-down menu.
Details regarding SE might still be found on the main SoundEasy user Forum (Bodzio software) -- I understand that this forum used to be on Yahoo.
I read a post saying that they are considering the possibility of changing to this 'diyAudio' website
At this time, I don't have time to go into detail about using SoundEasy, or to download driver files, etc.
The SoundEasy web site can provide helpful documentation.
However, I was able to successfully complete my speaker crossover design.
All's well that ends well.🙂
