You could have a look at something like notebookcheck.net 's Buyers Guide -> Budget Office/Business Laptops which will be plenty fine for running REW and other general usage. But they only list newish stuff. There could be good deals available to you locally or somewhere you can order from...

You can try toggling Pure Direct on the AVR while you play sine waves at 125hz/do measurements to help figure out if Audyssey/ADC is causing undesired effects.

I would switch to Java drivers and get the microphone setup as such that yelling at it or just moving it allows a sensible change to be read on levelmeters. Then set subwoofer gain in the middle and phase to 0 for the time being, if it has a crossover/frequency setting I'd put it at it's...

There's a little guide over at minidsp.com: https://www.minidsp.com/applications/dsp-basics/154-auto-eq-tuning-with-rew It does not cover cover setting up a microphone for measurement though.

I would suggest 'flicking switches' in the input device section of the REW preferences, in the OS sound settings and possibly in the soundcard specific software and hardware. But after +40 hours I guess you have already done so. Can you get any reading from the level meters in REW that...

If I have setup EQ filters in REW should I get the same result, sound wise, if I export the filter settings as text or the filters impulse response as WAV and subsequently use the output in Equalizer APO software? The text based settings seems quite a bit easier to adjust without having to...

Yes, two computers, one that is connected to mains and one battery powered. Swapping the microphone while the sound source REW had the measure dialog open was no success. Creating and using measurement sweep files was painless. Eventually there was not much difference in 50Hz pickup between...

If I record on my playback system the microphone picks up quite a lot of 50Hz noise. So I'm considering just using an unconnected laptop to record while the regular system produces measurement tones. Would two instances of REW on separate computers work fine, provided I start...
