    I just got a UMIK-1 and I’m running the latest version of REW (nice program). What I’m curious about is the fact that on my Mac (OS X 10.9.4) the native Audio Midi Setup app shows the UMIK-1 is set to 48KHz with 24-bit depth which is in line with the specs for that mic but REW is indicating...

    I have been using the REW5 Spectrum Analyzer and comparing it to that of Virtins Multi-Instrument both with an external EMU0404 soundcard in 24-bit mode.
