In my current acoustics class(at the Cleveland Institute of Music) we are
using Catt Acoustics 7.2(
http://www.rpginc.com/), which generates a
convolved version of the echoes in a given room based on dimensions and
building materials. The data can be user determined or input through a CAD
representation. It takes an anechoic recording of choice and adds the
predicted reverb effect - obviously useful &interesting in numerous ways.
We're using data from a practice room in the building and are then going to
have the same musician who performed for the original recording play the
same song in the actual room and compare the two through use of HRTF(head
related transfer function - utilizing the spatial coding the pinnae(outer
ear) does for purpose of localization)-capable headphones. Am very
intrigued by the program so far and expect to do much more with it after
the class, beyond the scope of dry cello solo or whatever. Expensive
program but check the demo. Get ready to hear tracks(or with good
possibility, my radio show(
http://radio.cwru.edu/)) processed as though
they're in a 1x450x1 meter room or inside a Sprite bottle or whatever
fluxed up thing you can imagine. Definitely one aspect of future music.
Anything else like this being used out there?
