an idea for an update for REW

[volkan]

To the REW Development Team, First of all, thank you for developing such a powerful and useful tool. I would like to suggest a feature that could significantly speed up the workflow in the RT60 window. When analyzing metrics, it is often necessary to check the RT60 value at a specific frequency (e.g., 125 Hz, 250 Hz, 500 Hz, or a custom frequency). Currently, users have to manually zoom in and move the graph to find the desired frequency. Adding this feature would increase usability and save considerable time, especially when working with large datasets. I kindly request that you consider this feature. Thank you again for your work on REW.

Have you tried using RT60 decay? You have to click on "Generate" first. Then move your pointer to your desired frequency. If you change graphs, the pointer remains in the same position. So you can check the RT60 in the same nominated frequency between graphs.

I don't understand the fixation of RT60 in "small rooms"...

You're right, it should be interpreted with caution. I take measurements over a wide area covering almost every corner of the room, then I overlay them and see where they diverge. A true reverberant field should be the same everywhere in the room. If the measurement remains the same, it's a reverberant field. If it diverges, those are specular reflections (although painted with a very broad brush) and room modes.

In the controls for the RT60 graph tick the box to "Show data panel".

Thanks so much.That was the answer I was looking for.
