Went to see a possible new client about work this morning and while there we went into his home studio, and he played me a few things, and we spoke about his hardware and other odd and ends.
What I saw I cannot explain ............
He has a speaker setup I do not know how he does it. He has a total of 8 speakers. (4 sets) Different sizes. Left channel consists of 1 HF and 1 MR speaker. Using HF & MR (High Frequency and MR Medium range) just for ease of typing. Right hand channel is the same, again 1HF and 1 MR. HF is equalized (Equalizer in his windows but missed software name) to only play HF and again MR is equalized to play just MR (4 separate channels on 1 Equalizer). Then he has two Bass Speakers in mono (1 mixed channel L&R combined). Again, equalized to only Bass. That gives me 5 Channels, but I only saw 1 Audio jack in use on his pc and no other hardware that I could say id doing it. Assuming the others are Bluetooth. On top of this he has a Bluetooth headset that plays all frequencies that he can just add if he wants to listen to something intently.
I am counting 6 separate channels now and all on 1 equalizer.
I checked my windows and as soon as I connect a second Bluetooth audio device while one is connected the first switches off and also cannot listen to my wired headset while Bluetooth is connected. I am assuming he is using ASIO (Some form of it) since I saw a Steinberg folder on his desktop. This can change my realism outlook (Immersive) on playback completely.
How does he do this?
