Yes, I know that. :) Will do

John, thank you for the tip! I changed my font size from 13 to 11. That's a little small for my bad eyesight but the window fits now. :) I attached the file you requested. I assume I will need to install a new version to see the increased limit? One (or two) more requests while I have your...

Really loving REW! Thank you John. I am using it for distortion measurements on audio devices, with a Focusrite Scarlett Solo, driven by a Mac laptop. But I have two very small usability requests. 1. When I click File/Export, the window that pops up doesn't fit on my laptop screen, can't be...

Thanks John. There is no physical mono button on the Scarlett. The Focusrite Control 2 app doesn't offer a configuration for mono vs stereo (or any mixing). I will chalk this up to "interface quirk". Thank you for your time and responses.

Finally had a chance to come back to this, and I figured out what was going on, though I don't actually understand it. For completeness: connect Scarlett to my mac. Select 44.1kHz in Audio midi setup and in REW. Turn Scarlett Monitor output (master volume) fully CW. Start generator at 0dBFS...

Sorry for the confusion. When I made the initial post, I had the interface set to 48 kHz. I subsequently switched to 44.1 kHz, which didn't change the "missing 6 dB" problem. The screen shots are from testing at 44.1kHz. The previous screen shots also show a special test where I had Audacity and...

Hi Oliver, this is a good point, and if I could start this thread over I would change the title. By default, REW assumes that 0 dBFS = 0dBV = 1Vrms. This may have been "generally" true at some point in the past, but is not true anymore (especially with external sound cards aka USB audio...

Thanks John. I don't think there is any additional mixer in the path, so this remains mysterious. I have a few more tests I plan to try. I have a second USB audio interface, so I can repeat my tests using that interface. I also have a newer Mac (with a more recent OS) that I could try. A friend...

Hi John, thanks for REW, and thanks for your reply! I am on a Mac (14.6.1). I believe everything goes through CoreAudio? I don't seem to have a lot of controls/options. Here are the relevant preference screens. I didn't include the System Settings/Sound one - if I select the Scarlett for...

Hello all! New user, first thread, and I apologize if this has been answered elsewhere but I can't find it! Update: Major edit based on additional research and testing. I am using REW with a Focusrite Scarlett Solo Gen 3, for distortion analysis of high-impedance circuits. The Scarlett is...
