The golden rule and all that.

Can I come with some criticism, without joining the war? Some personal observations? Have been continually surprised by the folks in this forum lately. Some for their (lack of) conduct and some for their ignorance and lack of willingness to learn. I do hope Sac sticks around to teach those who want to learn. Haven't seen one single factual error in his writings and I can't say the same for the rest of us. <- Us, as in including myself. Not a holier than thou thing! To be honest, it feels like we're getting out of the dark ages with regards to acoustics..

Did an interesting thing. Wanted to see where it started. This is the first post I found where Sac expounded the same old issue: Stopping early reflections
It's an interesting recap, as it shows the exact same info that have been going over again and again, most recently in this thread. It also have the same questions that some, unfortunately, feel have been left unanswered. And.. Most importantly: it shows a civil conduct from all parts involved! If it only had stayed that way. Something went awfully wrong after that. Sincerely hope we can all forget about that silly mess and get on with it.

Can see why you're disappointed by that! Have also been hoping for more practical illustrations. Shrug.. DIY or die.

Edit PS: interesting text showing how ETC's are used to produce more realistic voice overs: Using time domain measurement methods for audio production applications
