1. Will my "m-audio revolution 5.1" sound card work with REW?
|
If it is indeed non-duplex, then it will not work. Why not try it. Do a simple soundcard calibration - only takes a simple cable connected from line-out to line-in. See if that works.

2. What would be the easiest/best/cheapest soundcard to use?
|
Just about every card available will work. It has to have a line-in and a line-out and be capable of duplex operation. The cheap ones are fine because REW compensates for any inadequacies with the calibration routine. In fact the cheapies are better because you don't have all those wacky equalizers, surround modes, effects modes, multi channels, etc, etc, to deal with.

3. In my case would the external soundcard only be needed when setting up REW/BFD?
|
Yep.

4. On top of having a microphone do I also need a SPL meter?
|
Yep - cheap is fine since it's only used standalone to set a rough 75dB level in the room during calibration.

5. When using a microphone, is the mic input on the soundcard used?
|
No, they're quite unsuitable. You require a line-in.

6. Is the midi interface only used to upload filters to BFD?
|
Yep.

7. How hard is it to enter filters manually into the BFD?
|
It's not hard. It's the only way I have ever used it. Bet I can enter my filters faster than you can get the midi cable hooked up and ready to use...
