| FIRmaker's brochure states that "high-resolution" GLL's are required.
Is there something more involved with this type of GLL than those currently supported by Focus, or will the same GLL's used in Focus also work with FIRmaker?
Will manufacturers that already have GLL's licensed for Focus have to pay more for their end-users to access those loudspeakers in FIRmaker?
Just trying to get a feel for the manufacturer database we can expect to see in FIRmaker relative to what's currently available in Focus.
Thanks!

Edit: I apologize for not reading the white paper prior to the above post. It answers my questions satisfactorily, although it raises an interesting new question.
It appears that unlike Focus, the end-user will have to purchase a license to use FIRmaker in anything other than a demo mode. It will be interesting to learn how much this license costs and whether it will have to be renewed each year, etc. |

I've used Macs exclusively since 2006 and dual boot to a lean install of Win7 64 bit to do almost all things audio. I don't have any connections to AFMG beyond loving what they do, but if I were them I wouldn't even consider making Mac versions of anything. I didn't used to feel that way, but it appears to me that Apple is slowly, but surely putting their best minds on things no larger than an iPad.
Just my opinion.
Also, I have strong reservations about thinking of FIRmaker as a broad market endeavor such as Focus is. I may be wrong, but it seems to me that it's more of a designer's tool even though it's being marketed similar to Focus. I'm in the live sound industry myself, but still think pushing this off on a typical production company is a bit like giving a teenager a Corvette. There could be some serious wrecks. :)
Just my opinion ^2. |

You are absolutely right Langston. The answer to this is also found in section 5.3 of the White Paper. |
