Hello, If you are currently using a computer to serve up your music, you may be interested in trying digital room correction. I've been using correction for many years. I've tried a number of digital room correction software and hardware solutions, ranging in price from free to many thousands of dollars. While I am currently using a hardware solution, a very effective solution is the free and open source DRC package. Unfortunately, DRC is quite difficult to learn to configure and use effectively. A few months ago I started spending some free time writing software to make the process of creating impulse responses and digital correction filters easier with DRC. Basically the program is a graphical interface to the impulse recording and filter creation process. You can record impulses at different sample rates and easily create the standard filters that some with DRC, but also create filters suited to your tastes with the customized filter feature. The program will automatically create the configuration files to load filters in convolver VST, which is also included in the release (as well as DRC). The program currently only works under Microsoft Windows but I am planning on releasing a Linux version when I am happy with the Windows version. The help file for the program, which includes some screenshots, can be found here. While I am currently working on adding a custom target curve feature and supporting microphone calibration files, the program as described in the help is fully functional. I am looking for some testers before making it available at large. If you are interested, please read the help files and pay particular attention to the requirements section. If you would like to try out the program, please send a message to aljordan at gmail dot com, and I'll send a link out. P.S. I am cross posting this message at computer audiophile. Alan
