the convolution in Soundhack is not really as practical in the manner that many have gotten used to with things like Altiverb or TL Space. Yamaha also developed a hardware convolution reverb which was quite nice sounding. A lot has sort of changed since 2004, but not as much as would have thought….

If I can get my car within 300 feet, I run power off of an inverter and use my laptop as the source. I have not yet been in the position that it was not possible.

I would also check the EQ of the speakers – you can make adjustments to your source audio to create a more true playback.

If you’re doing convolution reverb, get a measurement mic (or two). Traditional mics will have dips and won’t give you a true representation of the impulse.

On a related note… this reminded me of Ghost in the Shell 2, when they took a gigantic music box, recorded it in a ware house, and then took speakers into caves and recorded the sound of the original music box to give it a HUGE feel. The sound design that went into the movie was very impressive!

Im looking for some reasonably accurate portable speakers for worldizing at the moment, has anyone used the remote audio speakeasy ?

Or ideas for alternatives that dont need mains power?

BTW, the articles mentions new products coming on the market in 2004 that do “convolution”. Audio convolution tools have been available since 1992 in the free SoundHack program by Tom Erbe.
