I'm new to REW and successfully making nearfield and farfield measurements to baseline some speakers prior to tracking mods. Following napilopez's good guide in Audio Science Review for quasi-anechoic measurements. My speaker is a mini-monitor with a 6.25" nominal woofer and two 0.5" ports that flare to 0.75." I am ready to apply offsets to align near field LF SPL plots of ports and woofer and then plot the aligned sum, which I will then want to splice into my 1 M farfield trace. Napilopez's guide shows an REW "alignment tool" under the controls menu with several available actions including sliders/text fields to apply offset for the port SPLs and a summing button. I don't see any of those things under the controls menu on my free copy for the Mac. Is this a Windows-only feature, a pro upgrade feature (happy to upgrade if so), or am I looking in the wrong place?
Also, how do I work with the three separate traces in the one window to do this manipulation? Napilopez shows a screen shot but doesn't say how the traces got there. Does the overlay window work for this if the alignment tool is present, or do I treat them as multiple inputs (I'd prefer not to do the measurement again if I can avoid it)?
Thanks for any insight!
