    Using Artificial Intelligence for Guidance on Audiolense

    Yes, the formatting for cut and paste was....wanting. That's good news Bernt! I just want to see if I can publicize it on the forums as those that have simple (and even complex) asks can benefit and get immediate answers. I also asked it questions about guidelines for taking measurements and...

    Using Artificial Intelligence for Guidance on Audiolense

    I haven't posted in several years, my audio builds for 4 way active speakers went on hiatus. I was out of the game so long that I had to re-learn components of audiolense which prompted me to query google gemini (not because it's my ai of choice but i was already googling and it was easy to hit...

    Audiolense Convolver: Issues with 'clipped words' and audio playing at an enhanced speed with cutouts

    I tried some slimmer audio players (foobar, winyl) and piped them out to audiolense and still had dropouts but far less so which also confirmed to me that my lack of processing power + jriver's heavy footprint were factors. I also maxed out all of my buffers and latency prior to posting but it...

    Audiolense Convolver: Issues with 'clipped words' and audio playing at an enhanced speed with cutouts

    I am trying to diagnose an issue with audiolense convolver. Here's my use case: 1. Broke out my LX521.4 8 channel speakers. 2. Set them up in audiolense, took measurements, applied filters, built an audiolense convolver file. 3. When I play back audio from jriver directly to audiolense...

    Solution for Those that Want it: Sending all system sounds + music to audiolense convolver

    That's something good to know, there's always some strange anomaly to surmount. Nothing can be easy.

    miniDSP UMIK-1 or UMIK-2

    So basically I could use all 8 channels for any purpose that I wanted i.e. I could treat the subwoofer rca input/xlr output as a tweeter input? Yeah, from what I could see it's all RCA input and balanced XLR output, I understand that part. I would do the same thing you did i.e. disable any...

    Solution for Those that Want it: Sending all system sounds + music to audiolense convolver

    Moedra, I just picked up an X3 for 8 channel to replace my Asus Xonar U7 MK II (that I lost in a lightning strike that destroyed a lot of my equipment unfortunately) and it works after some fiddling as well for 8 channel and seems to have a better SNR than the Asus. I am however having to use...

    miniDSP UMIK-1 or UMIK-2

    Whoareyou, huge question here. I've been looking for a person that uses a Parasound P7 as their preamp. I can't get any answers to the question below, I even contacted parasound with no answer: If you are running in analog bypass with a Parasound P7 can you get 8 channels of xlr output instead...

    Maximizing Dynamic Range in Measurements

    I have had a very strange scenario occur as of late. I was able to routinely get 'excellent' levels of dynamic range in my measurements and then I made some changes and swapped out my dome tweeters for far more efficient compression drivers that are waveguide loaded and switched out my midrange...

    Have you made any progress in getting your system stabilized and working? What route did you take?

    miniDSP UMIK-1 or UMIK-2

    I'm using an Asus Xonar sound card that has a mic in. I had to use a 20-some dollar phantom power supply that is inline but other than that that's about it. Indeed, I'm running 8 channels so it's been...challenging. I get it. It was an utter disaster for me, I was failing so much of the...

    miniDSP UMIK-1 or UMIK-2

    Just as a caution I would recommend not using any type of USB mic with Audiolense that is separate from your playback device. As an example, I was having 50% success rate taking individual measurements with a USB umic and a usb sound card (8 channel). Clock drift correction was required...

    Translating Crossover Width (1 octave, 2 octave, etc.) to common DB/octave Parlance

    Kevin, you rock. I'm so glad to see at least some type of close analogy to what our slopes are. Getting an idea at least helps. I very very often find out that two octaves is the sweet spot for many of my speakers and configurations (I'm constantly swapping drivers and enclosures).
