I am trying to set up my system with REW prior to using Sonarworks. I've followed along with the video to start the setup however I have run into a massive problem that says I can't use the calibration file for my audio interface stating that the 14dB difference is way too much.

I'm using a Focusrite 8i6 pre, outputting the Left channel to the Left input (1). The results I get are nowhere near what shows on the video and I have no clue as to what to do at this point. I've enclosed a screenshot of what I get. Any help will be greatly appreciated.

I had previously run Sonarworks and set up a file with that. Should I delete that if I'm using the REW. I was advised to run the REW first, then the Sonarworks, but that was after I already had a Sonarworks file completed with the 37 points, etc. Again any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

That's a pretty unusual response, looks like some EQ is active along the path somewhere. Also make sure the sample rate for the interface in Audio Midi Setup is the same as the rate in REW.
