    Changing Filter Characteristics, Butterworth, Bessel, Linkwitz

    Thanks @jtalden that is indeed what I was after :dancebanana:BE4 and LR4 are a near-perfect match for the helix dsp. The equipment list just has my home side of things, not my van side which is where I'm mainly using REW now to eq my active 3-way speaker setup with a Helix MK2 Pro DSP which has...

    Changing Filter Characteristics, Butterworth, Bessel, Linkwitz

    Hopefully, this isn't a too silly question and hopefully, I can explain myself clearly I have noticed of late that REW uses the Characteristics of a Butterworth filter at the crossover slopes, for example, if I was to set the target level at 100 dB, the LF cutoff at 1000hz with 24db slope, the...

    MiniDSP slow measurements and low range

    Thanks, I'm finding it hard to justify buying an i5/ryzen 6 as I just won't use the laptop enough, so this helps a great deal

    MiniDSP slow measurements and low range

    Wow, i knew it was old and slow but I didn't think it was that bad! On the plus side anything I buy will be a huge jump then. Many thanks for the 8GB RAM advice, I will make sure any laptop has that, SSD also seems to be recommended as a must too, with the i3 being the min recommended level of...

    MiniDSP slow measurements and low range

    I've tried a clean install of windows 7 (from disk) with nothing on it but the OS, Java and REW and its the same :frown: Haven't tried the sweep method yet as the laptop is still loading service pack 1 for the past 4 hours (50% done). I think I'm just going to have to bite the bullet and buy a...

    MiniDSP slow measurements and low range

    So it is the cpu struggling then. In which case if it is struggling to take readings I shudder to think how long it will take to do eq calculations, so probably time for a replacement (but I will give your method a try 1st). If I do decide to replace the laptop, is REW a multithread...

    MiniDSP slow measurements and low range

    Hi, I have brought a UMIK-1 to use with my very old laptop and I am having measurements issues in RTA mode. REW recognises the microphone and loads the calibration file etc, but when I click the record button in RTA mode with pink noise playing via a cd, the measurements produced are painfully...
