Fuzzmeasure mac3/5/2023 The next part of the puzzle is routing the audio from the real input device to SoundFlower. And the way that we do that is to use SoundFlower, which can act as such an input device for REW. What are the symptoms? The key giveaway seems to be that the impulse response doesn’t look like an impulse response. Other symptoms that occur include error messages from REW about being unable to find the impulse response peak or not finding the impulse response peak where it was expected, the measurement cycle completing before or just as REW is about to generate the sweep output signal, or a strange-looking frequency response where part of the spectrum just drops off for no apparent reason.Ī workaround to these issues is to have REW only have to read from a simple 2-channel input source. In the common case where you have a USB interface that runs at 44.1 kHz and has one pair of inputs, REW will work just fine.) (Note that, if none of the above apply to your situation, then you don’t need to use this workaround. If your soundcard connects via FireWire.If your soundcard aka audio interface has multiple input channels – that is, more than one stereo pair. ![]() Most input devices will happily run at 44.1 kHz, but there are a few exceptions, such as the miniDSP UMIK. There are some specific cases where this can become an issue: It seems that even the forthcoming JDK8 release has the same issues. And sadly, the implementation of the JavaSound API that REW relies on heavily is somewhat lacking on the Mac. Because REW relies on the Java programming language and runtime to achieve its cross-platform capability, it can only do what the underlying Java implementation will do. However, there is a small fly in the ointment, which Mac users run into from time to time. And it’s cross-platform, which means that Mac users aren’t left out in the cold! A free program for measuring and optimizing your speakers and listening room and which has, over the years, acquired many useful analysis tools, thanks to the tireless efforts of its author, John Mulcahy. Room EQ Wizard (REW) is – by any estimation – a great program. I have added some additional notes below.] You will have to try for yourself to establish whether the workaround is required in your case. In that case you will need to use REW Beta 20 and the workaround. You can not run OSX 10.7.3 or later (required by REW Beta 21 and later).Your audio interface is connected via Firewire.A soundcard with more than two inputs and/or when you need access to inputs other than the first two.Please note that it may still be required in other cases: ![]() As of REW Beta 21, 48 kHz operation is properly support and so the LineIn input workaround is not required for the miniDSP UMIK-1.
