REW Beta Release REW API beta releases

Hi John,

I often find that I run out of characters when using more descriptive wording to name measurements in the window that pops up when right clicking on the left graph pane within the All SPL tab. Not sure what the current character limit is but can you please consider increasing it? Thanks.

The problem with that is it would mean the measurement selectors and all the graph legend entries would have to get wider to accommodate the longer names.

They do not have to be. The text field could be fixed however with the actual text scrollable to the right.

There have not been any changes to the alignment tool dialog. That dialog is owned by the All SPL graph and remains on top with viewing the All SPL graph (at least on Windows and macOS). It is hidden if you view another graph type.

Its weird, I installed the beta again and now its working as normal. I dont know what was up the first time i install that beta

I would like to be able to "summon" the right and left window flags to my cursor by clicking just above the impulse response graph. In a very old version of REW I remember I could do this quite clearly, I used it all the time. But I think you told me it must have been a bug. Still, it was extremely convenient until it was fixed!

When MTW is enabled, the measurement phase curve does not change.

When switching between two stepped THD measurements, the X axis does not scale correctly and doesn't respond to adjustment. If I click the scroll bar, then it will let me adjust the axis again. But whenever I switch to another stepped THD measurement it happens again and the X axis settings are lost. Measurements are attached in case it matters.

During stepped level distortion measurement, REW was measuring the THD of my air conditioner at 27Hz rather than the fundamental at 1060Hz. This also causes the THD graph to look funny at the left hand side. I know this isn't an ideal measuring situation, but if we can be more tolerant of background noise, then we should be. I could enable the HP filter though.

You can try setting the RTA option to get the fundamental from the generator, I'll put a proper fix in the next build.

I have fixed that for the next build.

Hi John,
As a small feature request, could you make the SPL level calibration window open off to the side of the SPL meter display, instead of directly over-top. I have to move the window off to the side every time I open it.

That was done to try and discourage people from simply typing in the figure that was showing on the REW meter instead of the reference figure.

Hi John,

In the EQ panel, is it possible to keep the reference measurement the same on which the EQ filters are being tested? What I mean is, if I take a sweep and then use this measurement to open the EQ panel, now when I click the "Match response to target" button for REW to do its magic followed by "Measure with these filters"; a new measurement is taken which is expected but that new measurement is now the active measurement so in the EQ panel everything is reset or changed i.e. the filters that were used are no longer available since the reference measurement for the EQ panel is changed.

This behavior has changed because in the 5.30 one can manually adjust the filters and take another measurement as many times as needed where as in the current beta one has to keep on closing the EQ panel and open the EQ panel again using the right click option of the sweep that is being tweaked to get the best filters.

Is it possible to stay with the measurement in 5.40 in EQ panel like it was possible in 5.30?
