I’ve found quite a bit of info pertaining to REW, but none of it covered basic hardware needs. Besides a mic, I know I need to get a laptop but are there any special requirements for it? IE: Screen size, processor, what HDMI version, how much storage space, etc? And, do I need a DSP?
Also, I’ll be using REW to calibrate 2 different systems. One of which will have quite a few channels depending on which processor I get. How many channels will REW handle? The other system is fairly old and uses a 8.1 receiver (Yes, 8.1. It's currently configured as a 5.1 plus 2 front effects channels and 2 subs) that doesn’t have any of the modern day conveniences like HDMI ports and USB. Will I be able to use REW for this system?
