and that one was really horrible to find ... educational though :-(.

I'm reading up on DRC, (Specifically Denis Sbragion's DRC project + BruteFIR ) and most of the content I can find seems to be focused on things like "Hifi", home theater, sound studios etc.
Does anybody know how effective DRC would be on a much larger scale? If I'm working with line arrays and multiple delays in a large venue, is it very realistic to think that DRC could be able to make a noticeable difference over the listening area as a whole rather than just at the single spot where the mic was located? Is is possible to take multiple samples and create an "average" of the samples to get a better representation of the room as a whole rather than just at one single point? Would you get samples from individual speaker clusters, or the system as a whole?
And I'm thinking of more of a touring scenario rather than a fixed installation, so would something like that even be worth the time it would take?
Is there any documentation about large scale DRC anywhere?

hi everybody!
the Linux Audio Conference 2010 (hosted this year by the Hogeschool voor
de Kunsten, Utrecht) will have live streaming coverage of all the paper
presentations and selected workshops, just like in the old days. the
streams will be available via http://streamer.stackingdwarves.net and at
least two other relays, which will be announced as they come online.
for remote participants, there is an IRC channel called #lac2010 on
irc.freenode.net, which serves as a backchannel for your questions and
comments, hangout for conference chatter, and helpdesk for any streaming
troubles you might encounter.
spread the word, and join the fun. LAC 2010 takes place from may 1st to
may 4th. test streams will be made available a few days in advance. the
IRC channel is already open.
the official lac site is at http://lac.linuxaudio.org/2010/.
best regards, on behalf of the stream team,
jörn
Hi
I'm thinking harder and harder about my mixes and have been reading this
(written for renoise, but should apply to every DAW, so any ardour
users/devs, please speak up!):
http://www.renoise.com/indepth/tutorials/avoid-clipping-in-your-final-mix/
I didn't get why it should be better to have the master fader fixed at
0db. Well a tiny bit better, but still, supposed I have 30+ tracks, each
having (at least) a fader, does it really matter that much to have
another fader in there? I mean the alternative would be to pull *every*
channel fader down by say 1.5db if the track is clipping with 1.5db. In
such case I just reach for the master fader and pull it 1.5db, problem
solved.
I raised my doubts on the renoise forum
(http://www.renoise.com/board/index.php?showtopic=24975), and I still
don't get it, really sounds like either voodoo or peanuts to me.
Could all you clever and sensible people with good ears and technical
knowledge please enlighten me :-) Would it really make a difference to
keep the master fader fixed at 0db?
Looking forward to a second opinion on this very baffling issue!

Is anyone using the Ultrasone Pro 750 headphones for mixing or mastering?
Supposedly, they have made use of a simple psychoacoustic trick (off-center drivers) to make the listening experience more like sitting in front of near-field monitors. Some folks I know have them and have told me that they are more than good enough for mixing and mastering-- even better in fact than monitors if your room isn't perfectly dead, since you won't have room modes on headphones. However, I want to ask on this list, since there are so many here who are not only knowledgeable, but are engineers and open-source enthusiasts, and thus tend to be very good at debunking hype.

I just installed lv2core on my recent ubuntu install and then I built and
installed swh's lv2 plugins [from github], and when I run lv2_list I get this
output:
librdf error URI file:///home/alex/.lv2/bundles/manifest.ttl - file
'/home/alex/.lv2/bundles/manifest.ttl' open failed - No such file or directory
I assume ~/.lv2/bundles/manifest.ttl is some list of all of the lv2 plugins I
have in that directory? or? How do I generate that file?
btw, I have version 1-0ubuntu1 of lv2core.
thanks,
Alex
