Just out of curiosity, i noticed you say right channel and noticed on the mixer picture that it was also the right channel, is there a reason for this? Only metion this because when i record from my mixer i always use the Left channel.

When you use the (soundcard cal file method) as opposed to using the (cable loopback Left Channel Calibrate method), then yes, you have selectable control with REW on the Settings page to use either the Right or Left channel to measure with. I guess I get use to switching back and forth between these two methods, so I have a bit of a crush on using the right channel for measuring.

i have another preamp which connects digitally to my soundcard (S/pdif) i assume i cant test it this way though?

REW is specifically targeted toward using analog line-in and line-out. It is quite accurate when doing so. I would stay away from SPDIF. REW is only a tool to use to get a room setup and then you put it away. I tell everyone to suffer through the analog usage when using REW.

Yes it is, right in centre between my monitoring speakers, though at present i'm not quite sure thats working too well, hence the need for a room EQ to see my problems

Yeah, we have many people who use REW for their home studio setup with great results. They get their room all setup and do some mixing and when they play it back, it sucks. So, they seek out REW and do a measure and find that it's their response at the listening position that needs work. Often it only takes a few panels or moving the near-fields or mixing chair a few feet and all is well....
BTW, it's very easy to create an REW calibration file for any studio mic you have, if you've got a response graph that came with it........
