On both the single clip test, and the channel surfing test, the Automatic Gain Control AGC goodness of TruVolume clearly added a significant improvement to the listening experience, handily taming the rampant spikes evident in the other two setups while maintaining the reference volume level across the board. TruSurround HD. Before moving to the "big room," Patrick and I moved to a different corner of the room we were already in for a quick demo of TruSurround HD, using a race sequence from Cars as our test bed.
Handed a remote, I was able to engage or bypass the TruSurround effect on the flat panel display using just one button, making it that much easier to hear the before and after. The Cars scene we watched, which features Lightning McQueen racing around the track while the announcer narrates the action and the crowd goes wild, is going to sound thin on most 2-speaker displays.
It's a big scene in the film: it looks big and it's meant to sound big. With TruSurround off, "big" is not a word that leapt to mind. Turned on however, the size of the racing arena was much better conveyed and the announcer seemed to fill the now-larger space much more effectively. Is it a substitute for a full-blown surround sound speaker system?
Is it a clear improvement over the stock TV speaker experience? The biggest news coming out of SRS recently is their new CircleCinema 3D product, a speaker virtualization technology designed for maximum immersion giving the listener a realistic sense of space and improved depth perception.
On the other side of the room, Patrick had a Samsung flat panel display and Samsung soundbar connected to a Blu-ray Disc player spinning everyone's favorite go-to demo title, Avatar.
Watching the sequence where Jake takes on a pack of "viperwolves," waving his flaming spear in circles to fend them off, we alternated between CircleSurround 3D on and off. This sequence has a lot going on in the surrounds, as the wild animals pace in circles around Jake before ultimately attacking. Consequently, it's a testament to CircleSurround 3D that it greatly improved upon the soundbar's stock 2-channel experience, adding not only more convincing surround effects but also more intelligible dialogue up front and a more robust low end.
Copyright Fox Home Entertainment. As we went to find him, walking through what can only be described as a wholly unremarkable back room, I half expected to bump into Milton on his way from his office in Storage Area B.
An Office Space reference, for the uninitiated. After a short walk, we arrived at a door. Like the back room in which it resides, the door too was entirely unremarkable.
But beyond this door Enterprise, the ARL is the stuff dreams are made of - for geeks like us anyway. Sporting more than twenty studio monitor speakers and two powered subwoofers, the ARL is where SRS engineers can quickly and easily test new ideas and improvements to SRS' array of audio technologies. As mentioned earlier, CircleCinema 3D is the newest SRS product and it seeks to deliver a different kind of audio experience than that of traditional surround sound.
Unlike the standard 5. After sinking into one of the ARL's comfy leather theater chairs, Stephen Roney fired up a number of CircleCinema demo sequences, the first of which was the same scene from Avatar I had just watched with Patrick. After listening, Stephen asked that always-tricky question when it comes to sound demos: "How many speakers do you think you just heard? The correct answer: two. Clash of Clans. Subway Surfers.

Choose from many cool presets for you music, videos, and Podcasts. Second, others aren't as straightforward, too many settings may confuse even experienced users. And, like me, you may well experience problems with other software that use audio Skype etc As far as I'm concerned I highly recommend iWow, all my audiophiles friends say the same!
Afcgbbob Sep 18 At one time I thought that iWow was the best thing for audio refinement. But, it was limited to just iTunes. It did make the sound some what better through my desktop speakers but it just lacked the oomph that the sound needed.
Then I came across a program called Hear made by Prosoft, makers of Drive Genius and decided to see if it would make a actual difference and to my shock my desk to speakers were sounding like high priced speakers and I was totally blown away. Not only was it tuned for iTunes but anything else that used audio and it could be totally customized to your taste. One day a friend came over while I was playing my iTunes and asked how I was getting that type of sound out of my speakers?
I told him about hear and showed him the inter face and turned it on and off to show the difference. It was totally like night and day. As soon as I turned it of my sound went flat. Now I have my Mac playing through my entertainment system and still use Hear 1. Hear even tell the user ti disable any sound utility you may be using before implementing Hear so you do not create a conflict.
This is a combo review and comment comparing what was when and what is now. Hear is the technology of the future for sound on the Mac. It has a ton of presets for all sorts of categories just to get started and once you go over the manual you will learn how to tweak the setting or create your own.
If iWow is to survive, it is going to need some major work if it expects to compete against Hear. It is a pity That Mr M. End of Line B-Jefferson-Le-Blanc Sep 18 It now works in 64 bit iTunes in Lion. Which is more than I can say for some other iTunes add-ons, like G-Force.

It, also a shame that they sill selling it while it isn't working. No more SRS software for me Use the itunes equalizer can do the job as well! Winslowjr Aug 3 Dempson Thanks!
