how to use remote speakers output in media monkey

Since I had an old pc laptop laying around, I decided just to install Puppy Linux on it and run it as a stand-alone XO, DRC processor - I run only xo on the front L/R 2-way speakers, but room correction on all the speakers with BruteFIR. But on my Mini, it kept crashing (rather unusual for a Mac app). I am also looking at Adobe Audition for Mac (free beta now) that can let you mix your own up-sampled, multi-channel mixes from stereo tracks on the fly.

You can also use Jack or Soundflower to route the signals on the MAC (both free), so multi-channel xo and drc on the Mac should be no problem. When it comes to MAC, the choices for DRC, XO are a bit limited, but as it turns out - LAConvolver can handle multiple channels already.

Since apps like Plex and XMBC cannot decode DTS-HD and Dolby TrueHD natively (yet), you could capture the S/PDIF with Audio Hijack Pro, use a Minnetonka SurCode DTS-HD decoder as an AU plug-in in Audio Hijack Pro, and a convolver, then output 7.1 surround to 8-channel sound card for D/A conversion. The killer app for me would be to be able to use my Mac mini also as an OSX-based HTPC with full 7.1 (or 7.2) correction. (4) Run J River in Win7 using using Parallels => capture the output in OSX using Audio Hijack Pro => LAconvolver as AU plug-in in Audio Hijack Pro => route to sound card.įor stereo-playback, Pure Music supports AU plug-ins directly, so it is possible to convolve correction filters inside the player directly (like J River but without multi-channel playback). (3) Run an instance of Win7 inside OSX Using Parallels Desktop v6, which supports 5.1 surround => Win-based multi-channel player such as J River Media Center => built-in convolver in J River => capture the output from J River inside OSX using Audio Hijack Pro (or possibly Bidule) => route to sound card

(2) AyreWave => capture output with Bidule for Mac => Run ConvolverVST (VST) or LAconvolver (AU) as a plug-in in Bidule => Route from Bidule out to sound card (1) Multi-channel player (such as AyreWave) => capture output from player with Audio Hijack Pro => Run LAconvolver or similar (preferably FIR compatible) as an Audio Unit plug-in inside Audio Hijack Pro => Route output from Audio Hijack Pro into the FW sound card I am looking to do this myself (since my MH LIO-8 interface is Mac only) and here are a couple of ways I'm thinking of:
