I have been bouncing around the internet looking at DIY loudspeaker projects, tools, ideas. I keep running into Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) programs for designing, simulating and testing loudspeakers. At first, each time I found a new one, I would get excited about the prospect of using it. But now, each time I find one I keep thinking how many of these are out there? (Seems like more than Spice simulators.) Should I wait until I find them all to make a good selection before investing time in learning them?
So far I have come across:
LspCAD
Jeff Bagby's spreadsheets
Audiomatica
LEAP (LinearX)
audioTester
SpectraPlus
Virtins Tech.
Tolvan Data
WinMLS (Morset)
SoundEasy (Bodzio)
ABC Dipole spreadsheets (Music and Design)
Some are full CAE suites, others only measurement tools (not necessarily limited to speakers) many free, some moderate, a few expensive.
Does anyone have a comprehensive list of these?
Do you know of others?
Perhaps we can put a list together here.
