| Slow Project Data Module (room) | 2004-06-25 |
| Q: I have finished now a project with approximately 300 Faces and 40 Loudspeakers. But anytime I change something the Project Data Window takes several seconds up to a minute to update the view. Is this a bug? | |

| Parameters in AURA (general) | 2004-06-25 |
| Q: Looking at the wealth of parameters to control the AURA simulation - what should I use when? | |

| Refreshing Probe from Mapping or Eyes (probe) | 2003-05-18 |
| Q: I am really annoyed by the fact that when I am peeking around in the Mapping or Eyes module and use the Probe function to look closer at the frequency response it always switches back to the reflectogram view. | |

| What is EASE? (general) | 2003-05-18 |
| Q: Can you give a brief overview of what EASE is and what it can do for me? | |

| Licence Stability regarding OS Upgrade (general) | 2003-05-18 |
| Q: I have EASE3.0 and would like to upgrade from Windows 98 to XP. Will I have a license problem or can I just upgrade without any problems? | |
| Read answer... | |
| Spying Software coming along with EASE? (general) | 2003-05-18 |
| Q: It has come to my attention that EASE 4.0 will install a spyware program called XYZ. What information are you recording on my computer and what is your intended use of it? | |
| Read answer... | |
| Appended Items (room) | 2002-10-23 |
| Q: I built two models in EASE 4.0 and used the command: "Combine Project". It combined the projects, but I can no longer delete items (faces, vertices, etc) in the project because it says that they are appended to the old file. What does that mean and how can I solve it? | |

| Change Wall Material of a Group of Faces (room) | 2002-04-01 |
| Q: How can I quickly switch between materials for a group of Faces? Individually re-assigning each Face to another absorption spectrum is of course one way to go. But switching each Face (which would have to be done individually) to a second alternate material is very slow. Is there a better way? | |

| How to use levels and delays (ears) | 2002-04-01 |
| Q: How can I handle in EASE/EARS signals (WAV files) which have different levels and onset times (delays) ? | |

| Simulate Audience Absorption (room) | 2000-05-18 |
| Q: When I enter Audience Areas and/or Listeners Seats, are the seats already considered "occupied" for the mapping calculations? If not - how do I simulate real listeners? | |

| Non-Zero Surface Integral (room) | 2000-04-14 |
| Q: I'm trying to close a room I just finished entering, but I received an error message saying "non-zero surface integral." What does this mean and how do I solve this problem? | |

| Lambda/8 or Lambda/2? (eyes) | 2000-04-14 |
| Q: Why has the recommended resolution been changed from a half wavelength to an eighth of a wavelength? | |

| Real time convolution with duplex card (ears) | 2000-02-27 |
| Q: My CD player works fine with my full-duplex sound card. When I want to play it through the realtime Lake convolver, there is no signal at the convolver. What is wrong? | |

| Reinstall Room symmetry (room) | 2000-02-20 |
| Q: After I completed my project on a symmetrical base I had to modify it again. I released the symmetry to allow the new data to be entered. As a result of the calculations I found it necessary to include some more symmetrical walls. So I reinstalled the symmetry. My problem is, all of the faces and other items seem to appear twice. Is this a program bug? | |

| Missing Reflections (probe) | 2000-02-20 |
| Q: I built a very simple shoebox with a Loudspeaker and some Listener Seats. Then I ran the Mirror Imaging in EASE Rays. Although I had chosen 5 for the order, after invoking the Probe I could only see the direct sound impacts. Where are the reflections? | |
| Read answer... | |
| Use measured/Schroeder RT (probe) | 2000-02-20 |
| Q: I have measured reverberation times for different frequencies. How can I use them in EASE? I also ran Schroeder RT in the Probe to simulate. Does EASE use it automatically for the mappings then? | |

| Loudspeaker Coverage Patterns (room) | 2000-01-15 |
| Q: My problem is in painting the conic 3-6-9 dB loudspeaker coverage patterns on the seating area. I get the magenta line indicating the aiming angle, but I am not able to turn on the patterns even though the program (in options) says the beam patterns are on. | |

| Add Speaker Models to database (room) | 2000-01-15 |
| Q: What is the recommended way to add or change a manufacturer's loudspeakers and get into the base. I have the data files on disk but I am unsure how to load them into the manufacturer's data base without interfering the existing data? | |

| Invisible Items (1) (room) | 1999-09-01 |
| Q: I opened a Vertex property sheet and checkmarked "Invisible". Afterwards the Vertex isn't rendered anymore, so far so good. But now I want the Vertex to appear again, but I can't pick it. How can I get it back? | |
| Read answer... | |
| Invisible Items (2) (room) | 1999-09-01 |
| Q: I opened a Vertex property sheet and checkmarked "Invisible". The problem is, that the Vertex is rendered the same way like before, nothing changed. Is this a programming bug? | |
| Read answer... | |
| Displace Vertex (room) | 1999-09-01 |
| Q: I inserted a vertex P1 at (0,0,0), then I duplicated it and I chose for the displacement of the new P2 x=+3. It did not move, why? | |

| Hor Turn Seats and Ver Turn Seats (eyes) | 1999-09-01 |
| Q: I found some strange checkmarks in the Options Window, namely "Hor Turn Seats" and "Ver Turn Seats". Turning it on or off does not seem to affect the rendered view. What does this option mean? | |

| Real Time Convolution (ears) | 1999-09-01 |

| Gain Setting (ears) | 1999-09-01 |
| Q: Using the Lake Convolver: if a .BIR filter is added, the 'Peak Gain' button does not adjust the 'Gain [dB}' until after the filter has been installed and playback has been started, | |
