Measurement and optimization sound software for Mac and PC; minimum requirements: 512 MB RAM, Windows 2000, Mac OS X 10.4 Smaart v.6 offers dual-channel, FFT-based audio measurement in a user-friendly interface that seamlessly integrates measurement, analysis, and data logging. It also provides remote control over a wide range of professional equalizers and DSP processors. Completely redesigned, Smaart v.6 boasts a modernized architecture to leverage the latest microprocessors and multitasking operating systems. Moreover, Smaart v.6 now natively supports both Mac OS X and Windows from the same unified source code. While Windows has been the primary platform for pro audio system engineering, Mac OS X is gaining popularity in the professional audio market. Smaart v.6 features a streamlined interface that harnesses the power of the new software architecture while maintaining the usability of previous versions, refined over a decade of user feedback. Support for ASIO Multi-Channel Input Devices: Smaart v.6 can receive multi-channel inputs via ASIO on Windows or Core Audio on Mac OS X, allowing selection of measurement signals from multi-channel devices within Smaart. This feature simplifies the setup for operating a multi-microphone Smaart measurement system. New Real-Time Measurement Mode: Real-time measurements like RTA, Spectrograph, Transfer Function, and Impulse Response can now run concurrently, enabling hybrid measurement modes that display Spectrum and Frequency Response data simultaneously. Enhanced Impulse Response Mode: The Impulse Response Mode operates independently and includes tools for analyzing IR measurements on the fly, such as a user-specified time window function. Expanded Signal Generator Functionality: Smaart v.6 adds triggered swept sine waves for impulse response measurements, enhancing its generator signals and functions. Increased Data Storage and Display Capacity: Smaart v.6 offers expanded capabilities for storing, recalling, and displaying reference data traces, with all measurements stored directly to the hard drive to prevent data loss. Object-Oriented, Multi-Threaded Program Architecture: Multiple Smaart sessions can now run simultaneously, and an API allows integration with other software programs. The measurement engines are now separate code objects that can be integrated into other products.
