In trying to get myself up the learning curve on BFD and REW, I ended up doing some measurements that included application of a 1/1 smoothing function to the resulting curves. Got some wonderfully smooth response curves of course, but they also sounded pretty good.

But it's been suggested by brucek that I shouldn't have applied that 1/1 smoothing function when setting my BFD filters. So a couple of questions about REW.
Can anyone describe how or "where" REW applies those curves? Does it affect the actual measurement data on the input side? Or is it simply applied to the measured data after receipt, but BEFORE the filtering algorithms?
I'm guessing its between measurement and filter application since I can change the smoothing for the curve and then get different filter suggestions and graphs after the measurement data is collected.
What's the optimal smoothing setting to use for Sub eq? 1/3? 1/6?
Thanks!
