Note: Use the very same target curve for all your speakers including the subwoofer. These target curves can be directly loaded from within Dirac Live 2. Here's a choice of target curves based on Harman research.
Good news is that Dirac Live 2 is available as a free upgrade to existing users.ĭirac Live's default target curves are known to sound bass-shy. Problematic areas in the desktop version are highlighted in the screenshots at the end of this page. As a result some tasks are actually harder to accomplish than in version 1.
While beauty certainly lies in the eye of the beholder, a software user interface also has objective functional aspects "Design is not just what it looks like and feels like.ĭesign is how it works. Unfortunately Dirac Research chose to prioritize cross-platform support and looks over functionality. Dirac Live is first and foremost a tool for automated room correction, so user experience and user interface should be paramount. Some major bugs from version 1 still exist in version 2, e.
Last update After a lengthy development process and missed launch in Q1Dirac Live 2. This info has been around so I'm not sure why, with all the complaining, it's not a known practice.Note: This page will be updated in the future when new information becomes available. Wasn't everyone complaining about the fact Arcam denied that feature? I've got enough research into the matter done to motivate me to try it. However in Dirac 1 you can edit the target curve text file to not only correct the asymmetric slopes but also to add a different crossover for each speaker pair. This is built into the AVR and has nothing to do with Dirac. It causes issues at the crossover splice. The issue at hand is the asymmetrical crossover slope. Input is valuable and much appreciated, those reported issues will be fixed in the next update. Turns out you can already! Will give it a whirl next time the mood takes me Thanks both. Read the above instructions earlier as I saw someone had posted them and thought it would be a good idea if you could do that! Just thinking flax how convenient it would be if there was just a drop down menu where you could choose one of a few pre defined curves like it almosts suggests below from this link. Hi all, Is it possible to apply pre designed target curves such as the Harman curves referred to in Arcams only Dirac instructions without having to drag the relevant target points or making some form of. Now what would really blow everyone's mind would be if Arcam came on here and suggested the same to help develop their products. Hopefully Flavio is watching, I also would be willing to help as have been using Dirac for years. This actually seems sensible to get some Dirac users together to assist with development. I wouldn't describe myself as a Power User though. I'd be happy to help with Beta releases if it would lessen the chance of major bugs for the majority of users.

The mites go up and the tites come down Don't know in the case of Dirac but If nothing else the speaker distances could be wrong i.įor overheads it's direct sound, for Dolby upfirers bounced off the ceiling sound.Deals Amazon deals Bargain threads Classified adverts. I had mine set to Dolby but then set to Top small before running Dirac.
Out of interest what difference would it make? Just curious. Top small Dolby en will be for upfireing Dolby speakers. Just like Charlie don't surf, Audyssey don't do updates Only thing they have done since is the Multi Eq Editor which was a paid for app. I also thought Audyssey did the same, but could be wrong on that one.
