, in order to try and use different types of room impulse responses. 

I am not a developer, and I am slightly confused : it seems the Max Externals need to be compiled. Otherwise, the HISS objects will be missing.

I am not certain I understand how to do that. Additionnally, the documentation was written for Max6. The Max SDK should now be located in the packages. Would anyone be able to provide me with directions?

Here is what the getting started file says :

The HISSTools Impulse Response Toolbox (HIRT) — Getting Started

Provided you are already set up with a development environment and the Max SDK (http://cycling74.com/downloads/sdk/) the following should be enough to get you started.

Only two steps should be necessary to compile the code on your machine.

1 - Set the correct path to the c74support folder of the Max SDK - this is done in the HIRT.xconfig file (expected at ../Max6_support/c74support).

2 - If the SDK has changed location then you will need to relocate the MaxAudioAPI.framework from the XCode project (Get Info -> Choose).

I have found the folder that includes the compiled externals on 

 and put them in Shared/Max7/Packages folder, but the objects are still not recognized.

Hi,
I have just downloaded the HISS Impulse Response Toolbox, in order to try and use different types of room impulse responses.

You can download the compiled externals here:

I imagine that the github is only for people who want to delve into the code/compilation. (it should probably say something along those lines in the github though)

Thank you for your answer, I hadn't seen it, my apologies. The HISS tools is now easy to install. It is great!

I have tried to create an app from a Max project with some of the HISS tools library objects. I ran into an error message that says something must be wrong with the installation of the package. Have you ever experienced any issue of that kind?

I imagine that's an issue with the package->app step where not everything is being included.

Have you "consolidated" the Max project, to make sure all the dependencies come with it?

As far as what happens when you make an app, I don't really have any experience in creating apps and what's required, but there are some great threads on the forum for that kind of thing:

Thanks for your prompt reply. No I haven't consolidated the project.

I have followed a few tutorials regarding apps, but I'll look into them. Also, this is quite strange, but in a former version of the patch, I didn't encounter any issues. I had to modify it in order to use sound files differently, with an sfplay~ instead of a playlist~ object, that's all. So, I can't really explain why these issues are happening now.

Thanks for your advices.

It is another problem, but I have a weird behaviour.

Using irmeasure~, I have -1dB shift on all band with a bypass.

I have it also with the maxhelp patch ("retrieval" pane), bypassing "p hirt.svf~".

I can not find my mistake. Here I used a mls 18.

The default setup for the irmeasure~ object is to output at -1dB and *

* to invert the amplitude of its output - this is the -1dB that you are seeing. This is because when measuring with a microphone the gain staging between output is unknown and thus inverting the amplitude of the sweep or measurement signal output can easily produce very loud outputs, and is not meaningful. However, in a digital context you probably do want to invert this, or alternatively you want to run the measurement signal at 0dB.

These are both attributes of the object @amp and @invamp which can be easily set to suit your measuring needs. The reference for the @invp attributes summarises what is above, but I guess you have to look through the object in quite a lot of detail to find that.

Thanks for your kind reply, it is quite clear now !
