Hi folks, Amazingly it has been 3 years since my last look at AL and many things have moved on. I still want to know if it is possible to use AL to process a batch of music files (offline convolution) or does it only convolve on-the-fly?

Thanks Iansr. My current setup is minimal activity, server pc and renderer pc are both heavily optimised using Audiophile Optimizer and other methods. Running a convolver will introduce many new processes and threads, that's why pre-convolved files sounds like a good idea if I can stand the pain...

Even so, it would be interesting to compare the sound of offline convolved files with active convolution. Is it possible to perform offline convolution with AL?

I'm not sure I completely understood this. It seems that you think it should work. I started ALS manually and chose the convolution filter Then started jplay and went into its settings and chose ALC. Then selected PS Audio in ALC and got the error message. Then tried to play a track in Jplay...

Yes, I'm sure you're right. The overheads are high in time and hdd.

I hear you _wink_ Many new hearing aids use dsp. Maybe my audiologist can supply insights for this.

I looked at the references but they don't get to the heart of the matter. Just having gui OS and Jriver installed would create jitter that Jplay would not if it's on it's own. Jriver hates Jplay and won't allow it as an output driver. Jplay Femto (which I use) is also better than Jplay mini. I...

Ok the file type is in the setup, thanks. I feel it's important to apply a psychoacoustic target curve as proclaimed by Mitch Barnett and also the designer of my speakers Siegfried Linkwitz. I don't know exactly what he used but will ask on his forum. Another aspect I have been thinking about...

@hulkss I can assure you from my own experience and my own system that Jplay and Jriver (and others) do not all sound the same. It's not only memory and bit-perfect playback that matters. There are many things that contribute to jitter/timing issues and electronic noise in a music server. The...

Yes, but I will not give up Jplay without a fight. Not yet anyway.

Hi @dsnyder0cnn I've already read your article and appreciate what you've done. Actually I use the Femto 2pc configuration where the server and renderers are on different optimised pcs and connected by a direct ethernet connection (look mum, no router!) using Jcat Femto network cards. The system...

I have a wonderful sounding and highly revolving system with no room treatments or DSP. I know there are real issues with the room but to a large extent have been mitigated using very high quality player and optimising software on my server pc that result in very low jitter and latency. These...

Another question on the demo version. I read in an older thread AL can generate cfg and wav. I can only save an alc correction file. I assume this is a limitation of the demo version? Also, doe AL have an ideal psychoacoustic target curve I can load? I can only see a flat response target?

Hi folks I took this out of my previous post as it's more specific and hopefully will attract some answers with it's own header. I want to from Jplay but have no luck getting it to work with AL Convolver so far. Has anyone tried with Jplay and got it to work? ALC can see PS Audio as an output...

Thanks for the replies. I tried playing from Jplay and selected AL convolver in the Jplay setup but would not play to it. I selected my dac driver on ALC and using a dummy convolution file generated in AL. Has anyone tried with Jplay and got it to work?
