which REW tests?

raticusfortuna · 3rd July 2011

greets,

this acoustics stuff is eating away my life like some run away toe fungus.

i've got REW all calibrated and i'm reading through the help section page by page and feeling all science-y.

question - which of REW's measurements will be most applicable to room treatment? .... once i learn to do them and read them, of course.

my sage bit of wisdom for others going down this road - the slower you go, the quicker you'll get there.

frequency response, waterfall, ETC

Frequency response to give you an overall picture
Waterfall to check for modal ringing/resonances
ETC to check for reflections

The Impulse Response is the most useful test.
It can be viewed as FR, Waterfall, and myriad other ways afterwards.

IMHO the Waterfall is the single most informative view.

Please NB the points about using measurement in a comparative way rather than try to read tea leaves in the graphs. It won't tell you how good/bad a room is, or why, or where to treat it with what.

This might though. Table of Contents
