Hi Gents,
I am hoping someone can give me a link to a video or tutorial that will show me how to convert the files that I get testing speakers using Room Equalization Wizard into files that can be imported to X Sim. I have very limited computer skills and experience. Getting REW up and running was a process that took me many hours and only succeeded when I found an hour long video describing what to do in painstaking detail. I had these difficulties despite REW's reputation as being simple to set up and run.
I'm enjoying being able to use REW to test the frequency response of the speakers I'm building, but want to be able to import those files to X Sim so that I can create crossovers.
I have a Windows 10 computer with X Sim installed, but have not even been able to import the FRD files posted for the Dayton drivers on the Parts Express web site. I do not know how to unzip the files so I am dead in the water before I even try to get the files into X Sim. I mention this to show how severely limited my computer skills are. My goal is to learn both how to convert the REW files to something usable in X Sim and learn how to import them into X Sim.
From videos posted on using X Sim once the files are imported, using X Sim itself to model crossovers appears to be reasonably intuitive to anyone who has built dozens of crossovers as I have; my problem is getting the REW files into X Sim in a usable form.
I am probably in the 5th percentile or lower of computer skills on this forum. Please be kind and help me get to the next level of speaker building.
Thanks!
Jay
