OTHER SIMULATION TOOLS<br />

“standard” rates may change if the external clock feature of the<br />

VRack interface is being used.<br />

The length in samples specifies the length of the impulse<br />

response of the room. The minimum number of samples<br />

required to capture a whole room response can be determined<br />

by multiplying the reverberation time (in seconds) by the<br />

sample rate.<br />

• Type the number of samples per second (Hz) in the Sample<br />

Rate Box.<br />

1. Determine the minimum sample length by multiplying total<br />

reverberation time by the sample rate.<br />

2. Type the total sample length in samples in the Length Box.<br />

The room response is statistically generated using two main<br />

variables, The room size and the room shape.<br />

Room Size is described using the Mean Free Path. The Mean<br />

Free Path is a statistical measure stated as “the average (mean)<br />

distance a sound originating at one wall has to travel to reach<br />

another wall in meters”.<br />

The Room Shape is a random number seed, used during<br />

calculations to provide a room shape. Due to the nature of the<br />

algorithm that Make Room uses, a specific seed will<br />

consistently produce the same sounding room response, these<br />

room responses are fairly constant even as the room size<br />

changes.<br />

• Type a number in meters for the size of the room in the<br />

Room Size box.<br />

• Type a number between 0 and 1 in the Room Shape box.<br />

Placing a sound source involves specifying the location of the<br />

sound source in relation to the microphone. The microphone is<br />

always assumed to be at the centre of the room, thus distances<br />

and the location of the sound source are given in meters and<br />

degrees from this central point. The values required are the<br />

distance from the microphone in meters, the azimuth of the<br />

sound source in degrees and the elevation of the sound source in<br />

degrees.<br />

1. Type a value in meters in the Mic. Distance box.<br />

2. Type a value in degrees in the Src Azimuth box.<br />

3. Type a value in degrees in the Src Elevation box.<br />

Two Echo settings must be specified,<br />
