Toole, E Winer had shown we heard up 1/24 for the FR. For other curves (waterfall, decay, spectrogram, group delay) what would be the optimal resolution ?
I meant adjustments primarily to increase legibiility of the graphs presented which obviously helps improve the viewer's ability to read and interpret them easily -- whatever true resolution the ear-brain system is operating at for any given frequency (brain states matter), it mostly heavily smooths out the perceived response either way. There is no direct ability to apply psychoacoustic smoothing or frequency dependent windowing to the decay graph itself in REW, but I don't think it matters there that much. 1/12 octave is a good compromise. The default 100 ms rise time setting is maybe okay, but 20 ms is better to limit focus within early reflections. There is no universal, optimal one-size-fits-all view settings for any graph -- but the defaults are probably very generally okay to start with. I cycle through different resolutions, window/scale ranges etc. all of the time.
