This is a post from another forum where a guy who developed a product posted to inform the other members of its existence: I am not advocating its use or promoting it, merely asking for feedback as to whether or not anyone thinks this will work...

SOUND SYSTEM MODELER:
$29.98 available for download
Sound System Modeler is basically a DirectX plug-in that accurately models the listening environments of 27 different sound systems. It allows you to listen to a mix on everything from a boombox to a car stereo to a high end monitor without ever leaving your audio software.
Now, I will admit that I work for the company that developed the product so I'm just going to review my experience with the plug-in and hope that some other people will check it out as well.
First off, this isn't just a set of EQ settings but true impulse modeling of the actual systems. If you use a decent set of monitors, you will get a pretty good idea of how your mix will sound on a given system. Personally, I've saved time by getting it pretty close before burning a single CD. To me, it would be worth the price just for this alone.
It's been out for about a year, I would rate it a 10 (but I'm partial), the sound quality is great and the CPU usuage is very, very low. The next version will have a built in EQ and spectrum analyzer to allow for monitor balancing in real-time.

OK everyone, does this seem for real or somewhat fishy?
I know HC mentioned some issues in the Members Music forum where a the
Ferosh song was giving him problems on various speaker systems. I am wondering if using a tool like this might give a better chance of releasing a track that is "universally compliant" with most common audio playback devices.
Thoughts?
