    Alignment tool to adjust and sum woofer & port levels in REW Mac - pro upgrade?

    I must be doing something wrong then. Here's what I see when I click on the Controls icon from the All SPLs tab. No Alignment Tool option.

    Alignment tool to adjust and sum woofer & port levels in REW Mac - pro upgrade?

    What would it take to get this option on the Windows version? Put it in the Pro version maybe? It would cost less than a bloody Mac. :)

    ASIO and Intel Display driver distortion/noise

    Thanks so much for that clarification. I have no idea why that was happening on my HTPC, but I switched to my laptop and the Java drivers work just fine.

    ASIO and Intel Display driver distortion/noise

    Thanks John The surround channels are available. Now I can't seem to get the Motu M-2 to work with Java EXCL or regular drivers. No matter what bit rate I try, I get one of these (32-bit for EXCL, 16-bit for regular.) The Motu seems to be 24 bit exclusively and doesn't allow 16 or 32 bit...

    ASIO and Intel Display driver distortion/noise

    HI all, First let me say that REW is one of the best examples of web democratization I know of (along with Notepad++). John M. is a hero, and I donate to the project every year or so. You could spend a lot of money for software that's nowhere near as good (and I have.) At some point since I...

    Outlaw Audio Model 976 7.2 Surround Processor Review

    A few notes on the above tests: 1. My numbers are high, and should be used for comparison purposes only. RCA outputs were used, and they were taken directly in my home setup, not in a clean, low-noise lab setup. Also, I used free software to do the testing, so YMMV. These numbers are not...

    Outlaw Audio Model 976 7.2 Surround Processor Review

    Hi all I am deleting the prior post with measurements completely. There were a number of issues in my setup causing bad results. Also, there is now no audible distortions on test tones with EQ engaged, although that one track (Spanish Harlem) still has some audible increase in 'fuzz'... EMI has...

    Outlaw Audio Model 976 7.2 Surround Processor Review

    Hi Todd, The unit is off-warranty, no longer in stock, no longer in production. I guess I'm shipping it back at my expense. Whatever the cost, it will certainly be less than any other 4K HDR/Dolby balanced processor on the market today. And best case, they can cure both the OSD and distortion...

    Outlaw Audio Model 976 7.2 Surround Processor Review

    Final chapter: intending to do the reset as suggested, I turned on the OSD Menu and got a blank screen. Guess I'll have to ship it back to Outlaw.

    Outlaw Audio Model 976 7.2 Surround Processor Review

    I appreciate your interest and willingness to help. Front, center, left and headphones over the headphone jack all show this noise/distortion. (Not the subs of course, because they don't pass mids/highs, and I haven't bothered running through the surrounds.) Outlaw has suggested a factory...

    Outlaw Audio Model 976 7.2 Surround Processor Review

    No need to answer all of those questions, I can make it very simple after running a test yesterday. I play a test sine wave between 30 and 100 Hz from REW through the system. With the EQ off, I hear a sine wave. With EQ on, there is a buzzing sound on top of the sine wave (on any channel and...

    Outlaw Audio Model 976 7.2 Surround Processor Review

    Thanks, Dread Tried reducing input to -6dB: no difference. So it doesn't seem to be an overload. Note that the same exact problem exists with various headphones. Thanks anyway

    Outlaw Audio Model 976 7.2 Surround Processor Review

    Hi Tony PEQ ON or OFF? Other material doesn't trigger this problem with PEQ on or off. The specific tracks identified distort with PEQ on only. The equalization is pretty aggressive. I won't post the curves/settings because even if I set all the EQ bands to 0dB, the problem still exists...

    Outlaw Audio Model 976 7.2 Surround Processor Review

    Hi all After having my 976 for almost 2 years, I've noticed an apparent flaw that other owners can possibly verify (or not.) When I play certain material with high energy in the 60-80 Hz range with PEQ on, I get a buzzing sound on the bass peaks. (Think of a loose driver or something rattling...
