Re: [LAD] sound dissipation in air - formulas and filters? (Maitland)

true, for this particular case it would do (and that's what i'm using atm). but i have this idea for a plugin that takes actual mic distance, temperature, humidity and desired distance as parameters and will do something that is reasonably correct (not taking into account sound diffraction or reflection at temperature boundary layers, obviously). would be kind of cool, but i need to get a deeper understanding of the physics involved... especially the dependance on humidity is a very tricky and quite non-linear issue. fons is probably right that it doesn't make all that much of a difference, but since such a plugin could be a nice learning tool for sound engineers, i'd want it to be as precise as reasonably possible.
