I'm doing some playing around with active filter designs, and I'd like to get swept filter responses, showing the frequency response of the filters. I'm used to using a vector network analyzer for looking at RF filters, and I'd like to do the same at audio frequencies.
I've got a Focusrite Scarlet 2i2 3rd gen that should be able to do this, but I'm having trouble figuring out what software to use. I've spent some time poking at REW, and it doesn't look like it supports measurements like that. Are there other packages that will do that?

Like all software - perhaps spend some time reading through the help notes on the functions you are interested in, and then google searching on key words and that software to widen your exposure to how others do such tests. Exposure to how functions work, and your build up of experience is well worth the effort. There are a few 'getting started' threads in this forum, and others, that are also well worth reading to hopefully allay you initial concerns about what to do and how to do it and what to expect. I use REW, and yes it is initially daunting to see the extent of options and setup needed, but the same can be said of any software that is powerful - just trying to find how to do something in MS Word is often best done by google searching after 5 minutes of fruitless menu and help maze dead-ends.
