Hi, this is my first post. I started with a UMIK and REW a few months ago, and since then I started building a REW API / Claude MCP tool.

I understand that AI and audio do not go together for many people, and I get the scepticism. I am trying to use AI in a controlled way: not to make things up or automatically “fix” the room, but to help read measurements, check evidence, compare data, and avoid missing important details.

If some more experienced REW users could give me a clue whether this is something worth continuing, or whether I should just throw it in the bin, I would really appreciate it.

The first text is a public/forum-style explanation of the project: a local REW Pro MCP analysis workflow that lets an AI assistant inspect REW measurements through structured data instead of only screenshots. It explains the goal, limits, and intended read-only use.

The second text is a more technical workflow report. It describes how the tool should actually perform an analysis: preflight, measurement identity checks, fingerprinting, evidence reconcile, evidence audit, compare intent, interpretation, and report-pack export.

The tool can already do early versions of:
- measurement fingerprinting
- evidence/registry reconcile
- structured measurement comparison with evidence labels
- compact report-pack export with UUIDs, metadata, fingerprints, notes, and integrity hash
- separating raw evidence from derived interpretation

It is not meant to be automatic room correction, and it does not replace REW knowledge or acoustic judgement.

I would like feedback on:
- what is good about this approach
- what is risky or overcomplicated
- what evidence checks are missing
- what should remain manual
- whether this would be useful for serious REW users
- whether the workflow is clear enough for others to trust or criticize
```

In order for everyone to use this tool, you must take into account 1000 variables, many of which cannot be explained in technical language.

can u put here a complete REW sweep session .mdat file of your set up without giving me details ? then i give you the results off the analysis. would really apreciate this.

Are you perhaps reinventing the wheel? Or is this your work? https://lobehub.com/mcp/koltyj-rew-mcp...
My apologies, I didn’t know someone had already made a friendly user MCP tool. The one I’m working on is for my own use, and I was planning to make it user-friendly once I know it works. Would you be so kind as to share a .mdat file without any extra info so I can show you the result my tool produces? It’s really just for testing, and you can give me your honest opinion on whether it’s terrible or usable—any feedback, good or bad, would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
 
No worries and no need to apologize... If you use this website search tool and search post content + keywords = .mdat you could find many examples to test with... And then I would perhaps do some due diligence against several other AIs... Most of them seem to know REW...
