[suggestion] on SCUT KEMAR HRTF about openal-soft HOT 4 CLOSED

Unless there's some bugs in the diffuse-field equalization and surface-weighted diffuse-field average algorithms, the quality of them will be dependent on how closely a given HRTF matches your head, and the frequency response of your headphones (diffuse-field equalization effectively works by taking out what's common in all the responses, leaving just the differences between the responses, which tends to work better across the range of frequency responses headphones can have).

As for the SCUT KEMAR HRTF itself, unfortunately it can't be included with OpenAL Soft. At least, according to the SOFA file of it that I have, the license is CC 3.0 BY-SA-NC, the NC being Non-Commercial which is incompatible with the LGPL that allows commercial use. You can certainly make, use, and distribute .mhr files created from it in accordance with its license, but it can't be distributed built-in to OpenAL Soft itself without violating one of the licenses. Unless there's a different version of the dataset with a different, more compatible license.

ah so it's very dependent on the headphone and the listener?? also https://airtable.com/appayGNkn3nSuXkaz/shruimhjdSakUPg2m/tbloLjoZKWJDnLtTc/viwMmtPWIXCzhidSv/recdjA3pzV5Shob4b when you download the raw the radius set in the .def file is set to 0.105 which was my personal setting and the default radius is supposed to be 0.09, #775 (comment)
@ThreeDeeJay hm i guess this one is for you

when you download the raw the radius set in the .def file is set to 0.105

I'm not sure I follow. The radius is already 0.09 in both your .def and the one linked on Airtable. So are you saying it should be 0.105 or user-specific? 🤔

hm strange, it's default at 0.09 metres (or 9CM) for head radius which is the distance between ears and the average of 0.09 is used by default. i completely forgot that i had modified the file after the download :/
