This has to be "THE" best video on REW hands down. Can't thank you enough. There are only few people who can explain what they know in an easy to understand manner. 🙏🏼
@@MusicCityAcoustics Yes please! I'm mostly into acoustics in concert halls and venues and I would love to see Pt.3 talking about clarity and definition.
I'd absolutely love to see a part 3 on how to use REW in a live venue setting. That's something that will help my church really tune the speakers to the room.
in that instance, you would probably do less room treament, and more EQ. you would set up your calibrated mic according to the steps in the first video, then if you have a DSP or a physical graphic eq in the signal chain, you would adjust the GEQ to flatten the response that the mic hears within the room while blasting pink noise.
Thanks so much, Danilo. We're working on part three, but our focus and expertise are in room acoustics. Unfortunately, driver alignment within a speaker is out of our wheelhouse. REW can certainly be used for it, though.
Fantastic video! I purchased a mic and installed REW 11 years ago. The manual then was very cryptic. Your videos are packed with detailed and intelligible info on installation and basic use. Thank You! I cant wait to start with some measurements. Also, I vote for a part 3.
Thank you so much for this! Yeah, I'd love to learn a little more about larger live-music spaces, and would appreciate a video on the measurements relevant to that.
Thank you for such a informative video. Everything was explained in great detail and for people like myself who found REW overwhelming this gives a good insight into this amazing tool. Again, thanks for taking the time to put this together. Much appreciated
The way you explain and use REW is very easy to understand. Please continue with another REW part 3 and more. There's still a lot of function in REW that i still can't understand. For example using loop back or accoustic time reference when measuring. Good job and good sharing bro 👍👍👍
This was great. Coming from a non-audio engineering background, your pt1 & pt2 videos were a supercharge on REW. Would love to see videos on (1) improving clarity for live performances, and (2) using REW to determine studio monitor calibration PEQ settings.
Dude that vid is one of the most incredible ever - I went from "squiggly lines - i dont get it" to "OH!" so many times...much gratitude for this work.❤✨
Thank you! I've asked others more about the different measurements in REW for my home theater and they always say, don't worry about anything else as only SPL is need for the subs. I was wondering WHERE to put panels and at what frequencies problems were occurring. I learned a lot from your videos, although I need watch again, and then re-watch a few more times after.
i plan to do large room/ worship halls measurements, yes, please do part 3 of this series, hopefully focusing on a typical worship hall measurement. the series is very helpful. 🙂
Yes, that is absolutely correct, and thank you for pointing it out. At some point, while filming this I must have accidentally hit the linear/log view button and didn't realize it. I'll be adding an article to our website about the videos soon and will be sure to clarify the view settings there.
These two videos have been outstanding. Thank you so much for putting in what I'm sure was a ton of work to format this so eloquently! I've actually been putting this video off cuz I was worried REW was going to be too complex (given all the options it provides), but after finally watching this I don't feel so intimidated anymore :)
i've spent maybe two weeks looking for info like this. Every other video I found was just as long but with nothing I could use. You are a natural teacher. would love to see more on this. I'm working on a cruise ship and will be headed home to install a ceiling cloud and install a subwoofer. Subwoofer alignment is something I'm trying to figure out ATM. After spending thousands renting studios and literally not touching a single piece of gear and simply using the room itself to make decisions and worked totally in the box I'm determined to get a nice enviroment to work at home.

Another +1 for part 3, John's developed great software. The trick is getting the best from it. I've definitely benefited from part 2 and the proposed part 3 has me subscribing.
I just discovered REW and this video series was linked on the home page. WOW! Wish all software I use had such an amazing tutorial series. Yes, please do a Part 3. Also, I'd love it if there was a "Part 0" in which you go over basic acoustics... at least for what's useful for room acoustics. Anyway, thank you!
Hey! I am so glad you found the video helpful. We don't have a part 0 but we did just do a four part video series (half on our channel and half on the acoustics insider channel) where we go through the entire process of designing, treating, and testing a studio. Check it out!
Thank you for making these videos. I'm about to make curves for a pair of vintage PA cabs that I've restored so I can push around EQ sliders in hopes of flattening out the very peaky response.
The biggest low bass improvement for my system was getting DSpeaker anti-mode for it. It can truly make miracles for low frequency problems. Of course, being a DSP solution it can only fix the audio for selected point in room and other locations may get worse, so it's not a replacement for acoustic treatment.
That`s a highly competent and interesting video. I know I`ll have to study it a second time and I am sure I can take a lot of advantages out of it for modifying my own studio. Thank`s a lot. (/from Germany) 🙂
I would love to see video about group delay. If I've understood correctly, problems in group delay are the most common cause for poor or sloppy bass even in home studio.
Wow such a great video! I watched it taking my time and taking a lot of precious notes. Indeed I fought for years against a null at around 40Hz which must be absolutely impossible to tame, regardless the big investment in adsorption!
I know a month behind but thank you for this much more in depth video about what do do after. I had an idea but i never really understood how to fix the actual correction
By far the best video I could find abt REW. That is amazing work thank you. I was just hoping I could learn how I could actually use this to do eq corrections from my DAW or computer.
Hi Josh! Thanks so much! You can use your measurements to determine what should be eq'd to improve your room's response. To start, I'd look at only cutting frequencies and don't eq anything below 500Hz. Keep the eq moves as broad as possible, and don't focus too much on little bumps here or there. The goal is to create a more balanced response, not to get surgical and fix every little thing.
22:20 You could also use sub with 180 phase flip active and set cross-over point to 70 or 80 Hz. If your sub has high enough quality, this typically results in higher audio quality overall.
Thanks for the videos and I was surprised that a company dedicated to acoustic treatment has made video 2. Finally a video explaining how to interpret a measurement. I encourage you to make a 3.4 video, etc. and if possible, take into account how to interpret the Group Delay, ETC and see what happens with the Waterfall at lower frequencies below the Schroeder frequency, we apply equalization. It would be nice to be able to see the decay using equalization. written with translator Greetings
Thank you for the video! This is awesome. Requesting part 3 with eq correction on mac... There is no Equalizer APO on mac and I don't know which software to use to get the correction after the measurement.
Great video...excited to dive into the REW software! I am interested in learning more about Clarity. Improving dialogue intelligibility is one of my goals in treating my home theater.
GREAT video on REW, been using it for years but never took the time to dive into all the different results from my measurements. I EQ both home and car audio, I can see some of these features to implement in my upcoming car audio tune. Thanks! More please!
Hey! Thanks so much. We have a few other videos in the pipeline right now but I will definitely keep that in mind and try to make a part 3 video as soon as possible.

Really good! I understand a lot with your video. About smoothing: which is the best smoothing for Room EQ Curve calculations. Is there any option you do a video about Room EQ Curve Calculator?
Very informative! I am looking forward for the part 3. It would be great if you could explain how to take measurements for aligning a sub and main speakers. For instance, is setting acoustic reference required when performing measurements, is prior equalization of each speaker required, etc. I find this part very confusing and I still didn't manage to get a full grasp on it.
Hey Graham! I hope all is well. I'd love to see a series on setting up a surround sound room. I'm looking to setup a 7.1.4 studio. It would be nice to see the process from that perspective,
This has to be "THE" best video on REW hands down. Can't thank you enough. There are only few people who can explain what they know in an easy to understand manner. 🙏🏼
Hi Mohan, thank you so much for your comment. I am so glad you were able to get a lot out of the video!

Part 3... Yes please. Agree with others that this is one of the more useful REW videos available.
Thanks so much for watching and for the feedback. I truly appreciate it!
@@MusicCityAcoustics glad the feedback is appreciated. Does that mean we can expect a part 3 detailing using the measurements for venues??
@@jedi774 We will definitely be making a Part 3. I'm not quite sure when yet, but it will happen eventually.
@@MusicCityAcoustics Looking forward to it. Great video. I'd love to see you shoot a small PA rig, as well.
@@MusicCityAcoustics Looking fwd to Part 3 for a church PA system application
So good. Definitely interested in a part 3 regarding clarity & measurement of venues, houses of worship etc.
Thanks, David! I'll add that to the list of topics for a possible Pt. 3!
@@MusicCityAcoustics Yes please! I'm mostly into acoustics in concert halls and venues and I would love to see Pt.3 talking about clarity and definition.
I would personally love to see a part 3 of this series, It's been very informative and educational
Probably the best video out there on REW! Well done guys!

The Part 3 is a MUST ! Please, teach us how to align the phases of a 3 ways sound box. Thanks !
Thanks so much, Danilo. We're working on part three, but our focus and expertise are in room acoustics. Unfortunately, driver alignment within a speaker is out of our wheelhouse. REW can certainly be used for it, though.
I feel like I should have paid to watch this. It’s so good.

Congratulations for your video. The best Rew analysis on youtube
This is one of the best REW videos out there. amazing!!
Thank you so much for this!
Yeah, I'd love to learn a little more about larger live-music spaces, and would appreciate a video on the measurements relevant to that.
Hey Sammy, I will definitely keep that in mind and try to make another video asap.
This was the best video I've found to help interpret the various confusing aspects of REW. Thanks so much
Awesome, thank you!
Live audio engineer here! I'd love a Part 3 to cover those additional topics you mentioned! :)
Yes please, a part 3 😀👍
Thank you for such a informative video. Everything was explained in great detail and for people like myself who found REW overwhelming this gives a good insight into this amazing tool. Again, thanks for taking the time to put this together. Much appreciated

Hi ! Awsome contents ! It would be great to have a part 3 with a procedure to optimize P.A.s ! Cheers !
great informative video, part 3 please!
This is a god damn masterclass.
Would def love to see a part 3 as well in regards to tuning a Church Auditorium with these tools.
Thanks, What a ride, still need to measure my studio, this process is worky but hopefully pays itself out!

Where's the Beranek book?
These two videos are excellent! Dude, you're awesome!
Definitely missing from the stack!

Yeah, I'd like to know more about clarity. Please do a pt. 3.
Soo much good knowledge and soo well explained. Thank you very much 🤩
Excellent video! Would love to see a part 3 to round out the whole thing!
Great tutorial. Thanks. I would be interested in learning more about the clarity adn lowest phase analysis. Are you able to do a viseo on this?
Hey! Thanks so much. We have a few other videos in the pipeline right now but I will definitely keep that in mind and try to make a part 3 video as soon as possible.
Thank you sir. Very well done! I hope to see more videos about REW from you.
Ya man keep going! I'm trying to get my PA dialed.. would love to see if there's distortion from amps etc. Chant with me - Part 3! Part 3! Part 3!! :)
I would have liked to see the "Clarity" measurement feature because I'm trying to improve our church speaker positioning issue.
when there is the opportunity, please something about clarity and other acoustic parameters. BLESSINGS.
Part 3 please!!
love to see clarity
Great! Keep on doing it! Interested in phase alignment the most.
Can you make a video on how to use REW to prepare a practice room for a grand piano?
