need some basic help with soundcard calibration


Hi,

I need some basic help with the soundcard calibration. I must be over thinking this or something.

1. sweep level, how do you know what level is best to set it at, the help says between -12 and -6. Does it matter if its -12 or -6.

2. In the help it says to Adjust the Input Volume using the REW control so that the input level is close to the output level, ideally within 3dB, and the peak level (shown at the top of the level meter) is lower than -1dB.
Dumb question time, where do I see the input level and output level?

Does the calibration really make a big difference? I'm just using REW to find the location in my room that has the flattest response and the best extension.

Thanks a lot,

Jason
