BTW, there's now a new version, v1.0m, http://www.ludd.luth.se/~torger/brutefir.html#news If it's fast enough, I guess that would mean that the plugin BrutefirDrc, which uses BruteFIR, would work too.

bakker_be wrote: The reason I'm asking is the learning curve, which is quite steep with the options you mentioned. On top of that, good software to create the filters needed also costs quite a hefty sum (340 for Acourate, 165-390 for AudioLense, both without measurement microphone, adding another 80). There are probably others (REW springs to mind, it's free) but from what I've seen so far, they're even less user friendly, needing even more involvement and learning to obtain the desired result. Frankly put: I don't have the time to spend on it. I'm quite willing to take the time do perform some measurements, generate a filter and upload it into a device, but I'd need the guesswork to be taken out as much as possible, either through a well-developed piece of software or a well-written guide (DRC for dummies ;)) for which I'd be willing to pay. Room measurement with REW takes a while to get the hang of and a lifetime to master. However, the lifetime part really is all about DRC being complicated in itself. I haven't actually used AudioLense or Accourate, but I'm always suspicious of black box solutions, especially when it comes to the darker arts. That's why I chose REW over the others. I can really recommend it. Getting a decent result is actually not _that_ hard nor time-consuming. If you'd want to get started, you'd always need a calibrated microphone and a suitable soundcard. Can't avoid that. It doesn't have to cost more than say 250 in total, including a few cables (Nordost is not required). The benefit DRC gives is worth much more, at least when room treatments are no-nos.

If the on-chip DSP is not powerful enough but the Wandboard in itself is, it could be very useful to include the LMS plugin BruteFirDrc, http://sourceforge.net/projects/brutefirdrc/?source=directory, in the distribution at some future time. BruteFirDrc uses the convolution engine BruteFIR, http://www.ludd.luth.se/~torger/brutefir.html, which is highly optimized for speed. If included and preconfigured, it would be very easy to use.
