This thread is a continuation-but-not of my thread last year regarding multi-input SPL calibration.

Since then two things have changed:
1) I ended up getting an inexpensive microphone calibrator.
2) I picked up a Motu 8Pre interface to expand to up to 8 channels.

However, I can't figure out how to calibrate levels for channels 5-8.

What I do for 1-4 is use the "Calibrate" button in the SPL Meter applet, and set all mics to 94dB. However, there are "only" 4 SPL meters. So that won't work for 5-8.

What's the preferred workflow for calibrating >4 mics to equivalent relative SPL?

Change the input range to channels 5 to 8, or just select each input in turn as a single input and calibrate that way. REW will remember the setting for each input as long as "Separate cal for each input" has been selected on the Cal files preferences for the input device.

Ah, that makes perfect sense. Thanks!
