Random Thoughts

Couldn’t sleep. Will have to go to the eye doctor for a follow up visit as the eye scan was inconclusive in my right eye.

All other tests were normal so that’s good. Still worried though.

Had an interesting idea. Building a PoC.

Here’s a peek what I’m working on.

ALUT — Audio Look-Up Table

A portable, content-authored EQ “render intent” that travels with an audio file — the audio analogue of a color LUT in video.

Instead of baking tone changes into a master, a creator (or listener) ships a tiny description of how the sound should be shaped, and any conforming player applies it in real time. Loudness already travels with content (ReplayGain) and dynamics can (MPEG-D DRC) — ALUT is the missing open, codec-agnostic spectral layer.
