As a reader and contributor of this forum and the Dutch forum, It often puzzles me why there is so little attention for Roomcorrection software on this forum.
On the Dutch forum there are lots of users of Arc2 , Dirac and recently there is a popular topic about Sonar works roomcorrection. Roomcorrection topics are hot on the Dutch forum. Lots of users report about the improvements roomcorrection gives.
As a user of Dirac (years ago Arc2) i experienced the large improvement correction software can give.
Dirac improves roomnodes, timing and corrects impuls responses, giving a vast improvement of the sound, thus improving every sampleset i own.
With roomcorrection every sample set sounds good right out off the box!
Nowadays Johannus also uses room correction for their newer series.
A dutch console builder sells complete Hauptwerk consoles with Dirac because he states on his website that he believes that if people want to have the best sound for their setup, that roomcorrection is mandatory.
I agree!!
Most of the rooms where the consoles are situated are living rooms, so bass traps etc. are no option, but software correction is a very good alternative.
It strikes me that on this forum lots of users seek to improve their setup by using better speakers or by adding more and more speakers. I often see members having big sound walls in their setup.
This can be a good option to improve the sound but considering the costs, roomcorrection might be a more cost effective option, improving speakers a lot and so skipping the need to upgrade.
For roomcorrection you have to use a Daw like Reaper, lots of Hauptwerk users already use a daw.
Sonar works has a trial offer to try the software for one month.
Dirac also has a trial offer but it is a bit more complicated to install and use.
