First post, sort of. I joined a while back but have been away long enough to start over. I searched but didn't find this topic . . .
I'm a music guy over HT, but have used the REW software to get my mains+subs setup dialed in on the bass, it's amazing software. I'm fairly acquainted with at least the basic functions and use it in combination with my bass EQ to killer effect.
I have a system in my garage (don't laugh, it's actually quite good) that has a Squeezebox server with a software plugin for semi-parametric EQ. This setup is quite simple - the SB goes to a Peachtree Nova, with built-in DAC, to the speaks. They're single-driver and display the rising mid-to-upper common to the breed. When corrected, they actually make decent bass.
Yesterday I brushed up on REW and got some meaningful measurements. My normal process, probably like everyone, is measure, apply corrections in the EQ, measure, etc. However, this process requires that the measurement signal passes through the EQ applying correction.
In my garage setup, the EQ is completely separated, it's 'at the source', being fed to the amp, where the measurement signal is a different amplifier input. The two never cross, so I can measure, apply some guesstimate corrections to the EQ but that's the end of it, I can't re-measure and optimize.
I'd like to use something, Audacity maybe, to generate a test signal to feed through the SB for REW to evaluate and display, somewhat similarly to what it does with a self-generated signal.
Or, as an alternative, is there some way to do something similar with Audacity or another software suite? I have a Behringer microphone and USB preamp, so ready to party!
Thanks in advance,
Mike
