Its great for most types of music, but isnt so great on classical.
Any suggestions? Specific charts that have problems?
Main problems I've found:
a) Slow attacks (e.g. strings) after very quiet passages sometimes give a fp effect
b) Freak transients that cause the other stuff to suddenly become quiet
c) High noise floor
a) is due to a limited horizon. At the moment, because it's only looking ahead one chunk it can't see more than about 1/40th of a second into the future. It's hard to improve that very much while it lives in the kernel. Suggestions are welcome!
c) you can fix a bit by tweaking parameters
b) I don't know what to do for these. Sometimes I don't even notice the sound that is causing the
voladj to avoid clipping. All I notice is that the other stuff suddenly became a hell of a lot quieter. But at least in those situations I know that if it wasn't for the volume adjustment, I'd hardly be able to hear anything! :)
