This might be a simple question and the reply might be also obvious. Anyway, I wish to get a sort of confirmation for this matter.
If I wished to calibrate/check the frequency response of the sound card, I assume that also the other attached equipment should be included in this signal chain in order to get a reliable result. Let us say that I have a sound card, from which the signal goes to Behringer DEQ2496, thence Yamaha GA analog mixer. So, my question is that in order to get the frequency response checked and get the correction factors determined by REW, shall the signal from Yamaha GA mixer output be connected to the input of the sound card. Is this reasoning correct?
Also, if somebody is familiar with the Behringer DEQ2496, I wish to have your opinion whether it would be better to AutoEQ the entire frequency range or only the bass part (let us say 20-300 Hz, for example). Some hifi oriented persons seem to favour the latter option. However, is this only a matter of taste or is there any scientific/empiric evidence for favouring certain option? The aim is to calibrate our PA system (music band use).
Your opinions will be highly appreciated
