Hello everyone! Sorry if this is a super simple question

When my Fluance turntable stylus needed replacement, I went down a rabbit hole of different cartridges and their measurements. I wanted to make some of my own, and I found an Audiokarma thread where a guy recorded pink noise using a test LP, imported it to REW, and came up with an SPL graph to visualize the frequency response of their cartridge.

I went through something similar, but apparently there's a correction step that I am missing and I don't know how to do. He said he "imported it into REW and apply the 10 db/decade correction that is needed for pink noise". Anyone know how to make this correction?

thank you! I get the following graph, which does not seem to fit what I'm looking for.

However, if I use the Generator and make a Pink Noise wav, import it, then use Trace Arithmetic A / B, I get the following graph which looks much closer. Am I using it correctly?

Difficult to say, since the original source (the signal on the LP) is not available. It looks plausible though. For the cal file you would need to make sure the Analysis preferences option "Limit cal data boost to 20 dB" is not selected.
