Testing #Alphalabs #DeFeedback for #EventTech. This is an #AI #microphone #feedback remover.

And as usual with AI, people say it does wonders. First impression: Also as usual with AI, it can do its thing, but no wonders.

This is not to be confused with generative AI running in data centers. This is more like traditional #MachineLearning. It runs entirely local, and my #Waves system based on a #MacMiniM1 can run 1 instance of it at 64 samples buffer size with a #Rme #Digiface #Dante. Which is 2 channels of de-feedback. The #plugin itself runs at zero latency.

This is all about gain before feedback: How far can you push the faders before feedback sets in?

While this is easy to measure with traditional tools like feedback destroyers, EQs, automixers, it is hard to say here. Because this tool reduces certain frequencies in a way that apparently depends on many things, not entirely on gain.
