STEREO WORKSTATION SOFTWARE NOT SO QUICK OVERVIEW
 
  • The full system is called a Stereo Workstation and the software is called Stereo Workstation Software.
  • But any Computer that has Stereo Workstation Software running is a Stereo Workstation.
  • A Stereo Workstation is the Front End Component of your Stereo System and can be connected to the Analog Inputs of your Amplifier or the Digital Inputs of your DAC.
  • The software has lots of utility features like Test Tones Mode, Calibrate Mode, Oscilloscope, and Spectrum Analyzer.
  • But the most important thing you do with a Stereo Workstation is Tune Up the Sonic Performance of your Music.
  • So you could say that a Stereo Workstation is a Music Server for playing Tuned Up Music.
  • You Tune Up your Music by making On Screen Adjustments while listening to a particular Track.
  • The Adjustments are Equalization, Sub Sonic, Volume, Balance, and Adaptive Volume.
  • But you can’t just start Adjusting these things without a plan.
  • You need to know exactly how and why you make each Adjustment.
  • That’s why, for the best Tune Up results, a step by step Adjustment Guideline has been developed and is included in the User Manual.
  • Each Track can have a unique set of Adjustments that are stored on the Hard Drive.
  • If you have a lot of Music there could be thousands of stored Adjustments.
  • But accessing Track Adjustments is easy because when you play a Track the correct Adjustments are guaranteed to be loaded by a feature called Automatic Track Recognition.
  • Another type of Adjustment called a Baseline Adjustment is used to Tune Up your System, which includes your Room Acoustics, and is created using a feature called Computer Aided Adjustment.
  • During a Computer Aided Adjustment session a Reference Tone will be generated along with other Test Tones at different frequencies that cover the audio spectrum.
  • If a Test Tone seems louder or softer than the Reference Tone you make an On Screen Balance Adjustment to equalize the loudness.
  • When the last test Tone is done the Balance Adjustments are processed and saved to become the Baseline Adjustment.
  • When a Track is played the Track Adjustment for that Track is combined with the Baseline Adjustment to make the Total Adjustment.
  • The Total Adjustment is sent to a Finite Impulse Response Filter Engine that does the number crunching to create better Sonic Performance for all your Music.
