I know this was for Hugh, but I couldn't help piping up ;). The idea is the same as the Room EQ wizard. But once you get the FIR filter using the Room EQ wizard you have to do something with it to actually get the correction. This must be done via specialized hardware (like a TacT or the Behringer unit or a more generic parametric eq) or (in the case of systems that source their audio from a computer) software. Hardware has the advantage of being able to affect any audio source. But software has the advantage of being cheap. In software you have two options: you could run the processing on all of your audio files so that the actual data is changed to reflect the correct correction for your room. But that's lousy if you want to do anything with those files except play them on that exact system, in that exact room. The other option is to use a convolver to process the room correction in real-time based on the FIR filter. This is great as it allows you to set up different filters for different rooms and use the same files. Not to mention it doesn't "ruin" your perfect, lossless files. Inguz's plugin sets up a convolver for windows which works with Slimserver--something that was missing to this point. There are existing solutions for Linux. What's not clear to me is if a filter that's generated with the Room EQ wizard could be plugged into InguzDSP or if you have to use the tools Hugh provides... -- azinck3 ------------------------------------------------------------------------ azinck3's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=3967 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=24519 _______________________________________________ audiophiles mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/audiophiles
