So while I was experiencing some issues with omni headset #microphone|s today, as usual in #eventtech in corporate events without soundcheck, a colleague used #alphalabs #defeedback on another stage of the event, apparently succesfully.

De-Feedback is an #AI-based #audioPlugin for Windows and macOS, and depending on whom you ask, it's a magic wand, or not that helpful.

It's $499, and you need a decent host to run on (they sell a $699 box with Windows IOT 11), or #Waves #Livebox ($7000), I myself have a MacMini M1 with a touch screen and an #Rme #DigifaceDante (~2000€) that could handle ~2 channels of it…

… But the difficult part is to convince the client that he should pay for that feature that nobody needed before. Because if you screw your sound with feedback-preventing EQing, it's still good enough for corporate events.

Same holds for Waves #xfdbk, a pretty decent clasic #Feedback destroyer.

I must say I am a little frustrated. I know how I could improve things, but it's not working out economically.
