    Guidance on Room Sim

    I've gone back to REW room sim to fine tune my sub(s) placement before taking any more sound measurements. First of all, although I have 4 subs, 2 each are on one amp channel, so they are really 2 logical subs. My front subs are on either side of my tv with mains sitting on top. The front left...

    Questions About Room Sim

    Now that I've got REW working with Flexasio, I've placed my 4 ported subs in the REW room simulator, trying to be as accurate as possible. Question: Should I put the sub height at the distance from the floor to the speaker cone center, as I've done in this simulation? Actual cone center from...

    Reduce Sub Alignment Complexity By Centering 2-Seat Couch on Center Channel?

    As soon as I changed from 44k to 48k in REW preferences, things are working as advertised. Huge baby step! I have four VBSS subs, 2 in front, one on the back wall and another towards the back of the right wall. They are tuned to 20hz. They will not be moving, so my optimizations will proceed...

    Reduce Sub Alignment Complexity By Centering 2-Seat Couch on Center Channel?

    I tried using REW's Flexasio control panel and am wondering what the preferred settings are (MME, DirectSound, etc)

    Reduce Sub Alignment Complexity By Centering 2-Seat Couch on Center Channel?

    Flexasio was a fail (no inputs nor outputs found) even though I tried many different configurations in the flexgui app. I think I'm going to move on to Java only. I've searched the forums, but is there a singular REW resourced focused on Java? Also, it does appear 2 channels are being passed...

    Reduce Sub Alignment Complexity By Centering 2-Seat Couch on Center Channel?

    Very rough sounding distortion, no drop outs. I'll try FLEXASIO

    Reduce Sub Alignment Complexity By Centering 2-Seat Couch on Center Channel?

    So I switched to my wife's laptop and everything went swimmingly until I ran a level check in REW setup and the sound is distorted. I read about upping the ASIO4all buffer size, but it didn't work. I feel like I'm getting so close, but apparently miss REW doesn't want to give up her secrets too...

    Reduce Sub Alignment Complexity By Centering 2-Seat Couch on Center Channel?

    Yes I did notice the "Multi Ch In" reference, but was unable to ferret it out of the on-screen Denon AVR setup/menu options. I believe 'Multi Ch in' is normally available under the Denon "music playback" options list, per their online guide, but it is missing in my menu presentation. Another...

    Reduce Sub Alignment Complexity By Centering 2-Seat Couch on Center Channel?

    Not sure I understand all of your points, but I redid the Windows audio setup steps again to make sure they were set up correctly. Then, as per instructions, I used windows recorder to test the mic input. My Denon 3700 input is a rear HDMI connection (BluRay) set to multi-channel stereo. The...

    Reduce Sub Alignment Complexity By Centering 2-Seat Couch on Center Channel?

    Thanks for the reply. I posted the message below on AVSforum and didn't receive any replies, so I'm posting it here, hopefully with better results: I've also been struggling as others have with getting ASIO4all to work in REW. I'm on an old Acer laptop, with the latest Windows 10 updates. I've...

    Reduce Sub Alignment Complexity By Centering 2-Seat Couch on Center Channel?

    I'm in the preliminary throes of learning how to tune my recently finished 7.4.4 "modest" theater room (2100 cu feet). Since I've never done this before, I'm trying to be patient and read as much as I can on the various approaches to the subject, but to be honest, so far much of it is over my...
