    ... now guess where I go to in December (not for the first time, BTW) [;)]

    Now I understand. For what we are after, it's the result that counts, so every way to make the way to this result faster and easier is a valid one. You know - if it sounds right, it is right [[;)]]


    Is the result actually any different? I never heard a comparison of the varying convolution techniques. There should be a difference, right?

  • Theoretically the results are identical. There are certain caveats and restrictions in real life, but their effects are marginal compared to the benefits.

  • I'm trying to understand what you mean by frequency convolution. Do you mean constructing filters by using a static "picture?" Time-compressing sweeps?

    What I don't understand is how you get the decay time of whatever you're sampling that way - assuming I'm on the right track.

    (Before a little over a year ago I didn't understand pure time convolution either, so please be patient. [:)] )

    This explains it, but it's still not very clear in my brain.

  • Finally we still don't know when it will be available. I do need it before the end of January, do you think I still have some chance?

  • No, definitely not.

  • DAMNED !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Ok...now I'm depressed!!!!.....

    when do you think it would be the sooner?

  • Please understand that I can't give you more detailed information.

  • Iunderstood it was that CPUs are just not efficient enough yet.

    I assume the recent Core 2 Duos are not up to it as they've been out for a while. Perhaps the "Core 2 Extreme Quad" processors will be enough. They're due out in November and are supposedly 70% faster than the Core 2 Duos.

    And by the end of the decade processors with 80 cores and teraflop performance on a single PC and essentially unlimited RAM.

    We must be patient - and I suspect it's more frustrating for Dietz than anyone else.

  • Hey, just get yourself one of these, Dietz!

    that should do it... [;)]
