Newbie help with REW eq exports

[Gooddog]

Hi all, I'm just getting to grips with REW and have a question about exporting EQ.

I have a simple 2 channel set-up (2-way bookshelf mini-monitors), but in a difficult space. I'll be using a new-to-me MiniSPD to do the correcting. I've done some measurements in REW and (as expected), I'm getting 'different enough' measurements across left and right channels that I want to correct them individually. So far so good. So in REW > EQ panel to create the separate EQ configs for left and right outputs, when I click on "Calculate target level from response" to generate... the target level, I am getting a slightly different calculation for each.

My question is, should I be using these slightly different calculations to base the calculations on, or should I pick a number and use the same for both channels? Or something else?!

Many thanks in advance.

My approach is to use the same number for both channels.

I normally set the target a little bit lower than what REW recommends. As a starting point, take the lower off the two and round down. listen and decide if you like the result. retry with another level if it doesn’t sound good.

Thanks, I’ll give that a go

Another (related) question.

So let's say I create two "predicted" eq paths, one for the left channel and one for the right. Is there any way I can then compare those two predicted paths on one graph? For example can I save them out to the min REW UI and compare them that way?

Thanks!

Sorry ignore that, I worked it out.

Got it, thanks

You didn't show us measurements nor told what speakers are exactly and picture's of the room, listening distance and room dimensions also helps. You configure REW towards what speakers can do and to output to MiniDSP which you have friendly levels.
You start by leveling loudness, then do preliminary calibration to uper 70 dB SPL white noise (measured with calibrated mic it suports or external SPL meter) so that mods are clearly present but not ringing wiled it doesn't matter if you use direct pointed mic 0° or 90° as long as you point it right and use corresponding call file. Then you do first big peek with PEQ by hand and to both chenels separate per L&R so that it averages regarding decay with surrounding ones. Put them to input chenel PEQ bank on Mini. Now do measurements individually let the REW do corrections to natural in room speakers target and put PEQ's on the output banks. Put the low self filter to L&R input banks 105 Hz Q 0.71 and adjust it to ISO 226 for the measured SPL level and you are done. Well not quite you can do it better with more practice. Individual boost shouldn't be set to more than +2 and overly +3 and even so you should try to avoid boost PEQ's with positive values (don't EQ deeps).

^^^ thanks. I’m taking it one step at a time!
