Like you Robert, I have some doubt about how effective this will be, but it's an interesting experiment and I suspect that some degree of (subjective) improvement will be possible. I'll be interested to hear how mister cool gets on.

If you had to deal with the (sometimes abusive) complaints we receive about this, You are under no obligation to help abusive people, other than any obligation that you place on yourself.

A very good, free, on-line book: http://www.dspguide.com/pdfbook.htm Paid jobs in audio software development are very rare. A lot of audio programming these days is i...
