KVR Audio

I hold a patent on an algorithm that can be applied to an audio file. This algorithm improves the sound and quality of the audio file, without adding hardware or increasing the level of the output, delivering a sound that is 40% better without risking distortion. i.e. if an audio file plays on an Iphone this algorithm will be applied delivering the improved output. I need a good company or programmer to work on writing an APP, preferably on an Apple but could be for other OS as well.

What's the patent number?

Define for us, rigorously, what you mean by "better" here.

They mean it sounds better than the mixing studio it was created in? 40% better.

Louder maybe?

Or maybe it means it makes music shine like glistening rays of sunlight streaming through the beautiful fresh morning skies - or something.

Anyway, yeah, where's the patent?

This is a joke, right?

Damn, my patent is for 39% better. Must try harder

I'm thinking this algo "Patent" is named (something-like): "Bose-ifier".

(just sayin')

The patent is held by the company I work for - Dorrough Electronics (a twice Emmy award winning company). So if you are interested in working with us send me your credentials and please only serious applicants with solid credentials need to contact us.

This PlugIn does this already, IIRC

some time ago i wrote some algo which improved the sound and quality of an audio file with about 275% minimum..
i don't remember where i left it
...meeh

delivering a sound that is 40% better

does it mean it the other 60% sounds worse?

If I apply it twice, will that make the sound 60% better? What if the sound is already 100% f**king awesome?

Sorry man, but the best way to get flamed in here is to come in spouting off about your awesome idea that's too great to even tell us what it is. Even though you claim to have patented it. And to talk to a group of DSP coders and explain your effect as something that makes audio "better"? Seriously?

Frankly, I think companies that patent software deserve a punch in the face. (Copyright sure! Patent, NO!) What if some a-hole had patented ASCII or IEEE 754 floating point format? Where would we be now? These days we have the likes of Apple patenting the f**king slider.

BTW, if your algorithm does anything, it's probably compression, and I guarantee you there's lots of others out there already violating your patent.

Audio programming - programmer needed
