The AI debate about how to deal with your room acoustics

from The HiFi Hobbyist Podcast · host alan gillies

Last week's podcast looked at the issue of room acoustics and room treatment. This week, we hand over the topic to AI protagonists for a debate about whether specialist room treatments are required in a domestic setting, or whether simpler pragmatic adjustments to room decor with the potential addition of digital signal processing can suffice. As always, the purpose of deploying AI is to provide an alternative view of the issue.  The accompanying music this week is from the Planet Suite by Gustav Holst, played by the USAF Heritage of America Band and supplied by musopen.org, and available in the public domain.  I hope you enjoy the debate!
