Thank you so much. That worked: 1.6 can be used as stand alone, and does not make Roon freeze. Interestingly, Roon now shows Audiolense ASIO as an option, but shows an error: 'Device initialization failed'. So I'm guessing that audiolense convolver 1.7 suffers with the same error, and then the...

Unfortunately, not. Roon tries to identify all devices that can potentially be used. If finds, audiolense convolver for a few seconds, then it disappears, and then it comes back, etc. You can’t even press to disable it. I looked in task manager to see if I could turn off the convolver, but I...

I also continue to have the same problem. I cannot run Audiolense convolver 1.7. It makes Roon 2.0 crash. If I uninstall the convolver, Roon works again. I have waited several months to see if a new Roon upgrade might fix the problem. There have been a few updates, but It has not Fixed the...

Try different combination of drivers rather than ASIO for both playback and input.

I guess there is no need to follow regular crossover rules when you can ensure perfect summation and timing between drivers ;-) The other advantage of the steeper cutoffs is that you suppress woofer resonances above the Xover freq very well. Regular crossovers don’t always attenuate them well...

AFAIK, Audiolense’s crossovers do not follow the conventional slopes. If you look at the graph you’ll see that it’s not a straight line with a slope of 6, 12, 18 or 24 dB / octave, but a curve.

I misread your post. I thought you were saying there is a convolver version 1.8 now. I turns out you were talking about Roon 1.8 !! So to clarify: the problem was with AL Convolver 1.7 and Roon 2.0 build 1272. I did not have any problems running convolver 1.7 with any previous version of Roon...

I’m sorry I must’ve missed the update. I was still running 1.7. I’ll try the newest version tonight. thank you for your help.

I’ve ran into the same issue. After a Roon update, my audio device (a Motu DAC) could no longer be found. Asio4all, JRiver, and Audiolense convolver all disappeared too Uninstalling and reinstalling Roon and various fixes failed to solve the issue. No one on the Roon forum had any solutions. I...

That's an interesting concept. I haven't read much about it, so I might be missing something. At first it seemed like a good idea, but thinking about it a bit more raised some issues for me: Most of the music we listen to is not a live recording, but a studio engineered mix. We' re trying to...

I think the way to look at it is that these curves are the ideal step responses given your target. It’s a math function that derives the computed step response if your speakers delivered all frequencies with the same exact latency, and at the volume set by your target for each frequency. I...

You are right that speakers have non linear distortion (related to heating during a constant voltage log sweep, as well as many other factors experienced during normal playback). I suspect these non linear changes are usually not audible as most tracks will span many degrees of music loudness...

When you start Audiolense, if you choose Audiolense surround instead of XO, it might achieve what you’re looking for. Let us know the result of your experiments.

I just thought I'd share another little trick to increase gain a bit more (only a relevant issue if you have a low gain system, or less efficient speakers). Skip this post if you can play plenty loud enough. Roon adds the option to lower gain by a few dB for headroom. The idea is that your...

PS. Make sure your microphone stays in the exact same place that you performed the initial measurement with audiolense, when crosschecking with REW. If the placement is not the same, the step response will look different than predicted. Also make sure that your microphone is exactly centred...
