The usual hype and misinformation designed to impress those
who don't even understand the basics.
Just one example: yes correcting LF room response requires
very long FIR filters with 'tens of thousands of control
points'. But they are 99% redundant, so this is misleading
to put it mildly. If you want to correct response below say
100 Hz, you can resample to 1/100 or so of the original rate
and reduce filter length by a factor of 100.
Creating a Wikipedia page to advertise a business is really
in bad taste and illustrative of the mindset of those who do
it - completely ignoring and showing a complete lack of respect
for the fundamental choices made by the creators of Wikipedia.

aw, come on fons, don't be so harsh. this guy invented the loudness
button, that sure warrants some encyclopedic fame:
"A video of the Eagles singing “Hotel California” sounded nice to a
visitor until Audyssey’s hardware director, Andrew Turner, pointed out
that there was no bass when the volume was low. He flicked a switch and
the bass returned, enriching the music with startling effect."
in case anyone's wondering what the blabber on their website is all
about, here is a bullshit-free tool that does exactly the same (although
not fully automatically) and the author even explains to you how it all
works: http://drc-fir.sf.net

Right. And if ever an open source audio processing app deserves
a prize for
* doing what it claims to do (which is not trivial at all),
* no nonsense and blabla,
* excellent documentation and background info, including
real measured results,
then it should be DRC.
