Gui for convolution engine (was: some news from KVRaudio)

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

part of this is also an answer to Paul's mail, but Dave has a longer list to 
work on:-)

I haven't looked at the gui provided by this KVRaudio plugin. So these are 
"clean-room" thoughts... (Today we had a fire-alarm in our clean-room at work:)

Okay. But that should only apply when you change the mix-level or the IR, 
either its parameters, which results in a re-calculation of the IR, or the 
file. Both are probably not things you would automate inside a session. Unless 
the position of the source is a parameter for a big artificial convolution to 
simulate whole acoustic environments. I think most people just use an IR of 
some nice room to have a hall-effect...

Why does the sound improve when I use a convolution-engine as a plugin opposed 
to using it standalone?

Choice of the convolution engine? Choice of the gui? Choice of the gui-
toolkit?

:-) 'nuff said

Using windows VST's inside a linux environment is a valid reason for converts. 

Native linux VST's have no advantage over native LADSPA/DSSI/LV2 plugins. 
Except for the non-free license of the header/sdk from steinberg and the 
possible legal problems with the clean-room reconstructions of the api/abi.

/me writes "writing a ladspa plugin using libzita-convolve" on his todo-
list:-)

Have fun,

Arnold
