DIRAC LIVE VS REW SOFTWARE
I could use Audrvana or JRiver with the Dirac Live Processor alpha version but I would like to use Roon and stay away from prototype software if possible. Also are using amps with the ARC, if not that will be an additional cost for you. It has been postulated that ARC handles multiple subs better according to popular opinions by some professionals. I am not currently using Roon but would like to. The XMC is soon to have ATMOS with Dirac on all channels if thats important to you. There are also posts on the Roon website about doing this. Roon doesnt support AU or VST plug ins but in a later email Dirac explained how Dirac and Roon can be used together via Audiohijack. Please note that you'll need a player that supports standard AU or VST plugins like for example JRiver, Audirvana (now for Windows as well), etc.Īlso take into account that no support is available for this very early build, if interested please let us know, The latter is an alpha version though that is limited to stereo playback and should be used at 48 KHz only so that downsampling by the player is required, the user interface might change as well.
DIRAC LIVE VS REW DOWNLOAD
Until then we can send you a download for testing the latest Dirac Live 2.2 calibration tool (that is complete) together with the 0.9.11/0.9.12 DiracLiveProcessor that is required for standalone use (it acts as a AU/VST host)
DIRAC LIVE VS REW PC
We are working on the new standalone version for PC and Mac that will use AU or VST plugins but it's not ready yet: Hello, thanks for your interest in Dirac Live. I have been corresponding direct with Dirac. For Dirac to work with multiple subs it needs to correct the entire array at once and the array needs to be as clean a possible before dirac even starts. I am unclear as to how things originally worked with Roon / Dirac but Dirac2 unfortunately does not work with Roon this way. SSZ : What you say is how I thought things would work. That should produce something that can be loaded into the convolution DSP module. As for getting the correction filters out of REW, try file->export-> export filters as WAV. I am just hoping to find someone localish who has done it successfully or who is computer knowledgeable / relaxed enough to work though the set up. REW is sensitive to latency in my experience, so that may be the issue. You are correct though there really are limited alternatives and I will have to go with one of them if I want to do this. I have used Mini DSP components before ( I have a Mini DSP 2.4 HD ) and would rather not go there either although I agree that is a simple route. I could set something up using REW which I am pretty familiar with but really the apparent simplicity of Dirac was appealing.
Acourate and Audiolense are Windows and using them would be rather ugly and I suspect beyond my patience levels. I believe I know enough about DSP to set something up on Roon but I would prefer not to go there. S8 : I dont own Dirac Live but I would like to use Dirac Live 2 which is now available.
