I want to measure the sound produced from skateboards on ramps

This should be a good instrument for your measurements. Just remember that ambient noise and the distance between the meter and the target noise are critical factors in making measurements.

I don't know why you couldn't do that, though there may be other meters more appropriate to that application. Because the meter is very sensitive it will provide you with either the "Min" or "Max" dba it reads. That may not be the skateboard. It could be a measurement of some other ambient sound. You get the dba reading for only one sound each time you turn it on.

I do not know why this should not work.Point and read the meter. Battery comes with new meters.

This device is perfect for this application. However, keep in mind as always you are measuring ALL sounds in the area of the device. That is , if for example your ramps are outside and near traffic you will be measuring those sounds as well as any talking, shouting or music. These are sensitive and 'relatively' accurate - give the device a few seconds to 'settle down' / stabilize after turning it on. Expect wide fluctuations in your readings consistent with the actual sound levels the device is detecting. I've seen reviewers of various devices declare the devices as inaccurate because the readings were erratic when in fact the devices are merely 'reporting' exactly what they are 'hearing'... In a very quiet indoor setting I have seen this device show minor fluctuations from the loud ticking of a clock or traffic outside on a residential street 100-200 yards away. I use my device in a controlled - relatively sound proof music studio where its sensitivity and relative accuracy make it a perfect device for my application. Good Luck!!!

Always hold the meter at ear level and the distance you are wanting to know what the sound level is.

I bought it for the sounds, but none of it ever worked so I don't know. Returned it.

The price is for a pair of ramps and shipping is free. You can also see them at www.TitanRamps.com

How do I know my equipment is working perfectly When I I trigger the test and put the audio would not have to issue a sound?

I record using the mic jack using a stereo plug coming from a reel-to-reel tape deck. I get a usable file but I suspect my original recordings are monaural.

Not sure without actually doing it myself, but I'd try assigning the distortion to the expression pedal. That way you'd have real-time control over the exact amount you were looking for. Paul's answer is a good idea too if you're ok with a static setting.

Is it the level indicator? (The rolling ball thingy) That might make a noise.

Your question as stated is not clear. I bought this for my son to use while skateboarding and he loves it.

First make sure that you select your decks 1-2-3-4, then click the cue button of the track you want to listen to, good luck

Just plug it in into the mike symbol on your computer. I had to turn the volume way up in order to hear what was being recorded.

Out of box. There are instructions for calibration, but you need to buy a sound level calibrator.

You would have to look up the specs of the woofer and see the cubic feet of air space required. It doesn't have to be 100% accurate. It just has to be close to what you need.

Yes, the best way to see what the sound level is check the sound level of something you are used to first, like tv or radio then check the device you what to compare the sound level with. The sound level device will measure the sound level that you can't hear also. i hope this helps.

I would suggest the EurekaPROM to go with it. Makes it function as a stompbox with native support for guitar VSTs like this.

I like the Pyle. It's perfect for me as I DJ at various venues and they are sticklers for DB readings. I would recommend this sound level meter. This one holds steady. If you are trying to use it to master or calibrate the level, might be better to do it in the studio on the boards and re-master session. Or, if you are holding it while you are listening to the sounds, it will give you a reading on what it hears. Can't decipher tones and if you are trying to listen to one deck vs. another. I hope this helps??

This device works out of the box. The numbers bounce around quite a bit (I use it to monitor sound in automobiles, so the environment changes with changes in pavement, etc.) I can say that, in my car, the mid-60s are typical of fairly quiet pavement and the mid-70s of noisier pavement, but I can't get really specific readings.But this is an inexpensive instrument that works for my purposes. If you need a really precise instrument, you might need to go elsewhere--and spend more money

I really don't know. I gave this as a gift to a beginner along with a ramp. Sorry!
