Thanks Fons, this is a good idea. Just the santalucia.wav is not very
high quality indeed (and needs heavy attenuation).

But if I understand the filter configuration right, I can't really
just use a gain of 1.0 with the dirac: I need to attenuate the
original signal so that there is enough 'room' for the SantaLucia
reverb to be added ... otherwise the output signal is clipped if
already close to 0dB.

So this is what I did now, essentially adding the original signal to
it with -8dB, the rest 'filled out' with the SantaLucia:

(Change from before:
