Ooh no no no no no. I wouldn't touch this with a bargepole. If there are problems in the room, they need to be sorted the proper way, ie with acoustical treatments. How on earth, for instance, could it cope with nulling excessive early reflections? By warping the space-time fabric, going back in time, and putting them out of phase, perhaps?

My advice (for what it's worth) would be stay away!

Anyone who has ever attempted to correct a room for disturbing reflections knows that EQ IS NOT the solution.

Dents 'n' bumps in the frequency range of a room aint caused by wasps sitting on the wall or in the cables nor by Jesus Chris himself resurrected as an EQ inside the monitor ways, they are caused by reflections from walls, ceiling, floors, MIXING DESK if monitors are placed on the bridge and furniture like racks, disturbing the direct signal. No EQ on earth can compensate for that.

The software is IMO, and I wrote a long mail to IK about that, a trick to grabbing money from a novice's pocket. Shameful indeed.

Ask any acoustic professional about that software, or maybe not, chances are he is going to laugh himself to death
