Is this progress, or just patent expiration?? This is sorta like having a free pass to all those <a href="http://www.audioease.com/" target="_blank">fancypants windows/mac plugins</a> you see in the catalogs and are never going to buy or try unless you do it at a loud&annoying tradeshow or music store (or in college)... the ability to experiment, patch&try, find out about other people's uses and ideas,...actually more like priceless...</div>

<br>The rig comprises a Linux Audio computer with the JACK realtime sound server, the Ardour Digital Audio Workstation, AmbDec (a state-of-the-art two-band Ambisonic decoder with near-field compensation), and the JConv convolution engine.<br>
<br>The DRC room correction software is used to obtain filter kernels to compensate for room and speaker deficiencies.<br>It is shown that a determined amateur can achieve very good results using only free software and commodity hardware in a standard domestic environment.Presentation slides are at </span></font><a href="http://stackingdwarves.net/public_stuff/linux_audio/tmt08/Ambisonic_Listening_Rig_with_Free_Software-Slides.pdf" title="http://stackingdwarves.net/public_stuff/linux_audio/tmt08/Ambisonic_Listening_Rig_with_Free_Software-Slides.pdf" style="color:rgb(208, 142, 42);text-decoration:none" target="_blank">http://stackingdwarves.net/public_stuff/linux_audio/tmt08/Ambisonic_List...</a> <<<<<< CHECK THS OUT <<<<<<<</p>
