Hi all , I want to use REW to help calibrate a 4 way home studio set up and I have a couple of questions , will it be ok to use a sonar-works mic it came with 3 cal files a 0 a 30 and 90 degree versions attached below .
when would I need to use each file ?
next I use a Universal Audio Apollo x8 as main interface and noted there is an option to calibrate the sound card within REW is there a link to a video to show specifically how to set this up and where would I get a cal file for it ?
The set up is configured like so. Mac studio max M1 - UAD Apollo x8 my setup is technically run as 2.1 but can easily switch to full range stereo, I take a SPDIF coaxial out which mirrors my full range L/R signal to a coax/Toslink convertor then Toslink to minidsp 2x4 hd Toslink digital input plus I run a sub only mono channel out via TRS balanced analogue to mini dsp analogue input for sub only , this setup allows me the choice to independently control the subs
I then take L/R TRS balanced out from the UAD Apollo x8 and connect these to TRS balanced in on an Audient Nero monitor controller which allows control of 3 sets of balanced studio monitors I also connect the mini dsp 2x4hd via unbalanced RCA out to the Audients Aux RCA unbalanced in
I have Sonar-works sound id reference multi channel room correction software but I have never been happy with its results . What id like to achieve is to use the mini dsp 2x4 hd and REW via digital connection to set up my main monitors and dual subs as flat as I can possibly get them .
Id be great full for any help and advice offered thanks in advance Don
