Treble Acoustic Simulation - a big step forward
Terrific. The support is very responsive, and I am really enjoying the ease with which design variations can be quickly assessed. The workflows are easy to get used to.
PROSVery time-efficient workflows that ease the work burden associated with creating acoustic design variants. Accurate modelling of mid to low frequencies is essential to designing the acoustic aspects of venues that lead to the Lombard effect in the hospitality industry.
CONSNothing really as I understand that it is a very young product. Currently, PDF or paper report generation would be the biggest deficit but the world is moving towards online presentations with dynamic reporting and dynamic content, and Treble is delivering features in this regard. Possible ahead of the field. The organising of projects needs some work as this is not as flexible as it could be.
Reasons for switching to Treble Acoustic Simulation Suite
Mid to low-frequency modelling and quicker workflows. Treble could very well be the next generation of acoustic modelling systems.

Cutting Edge Acoustic Simulation Software
Overall the experience has been very positive. The software is quick and easy to use and to learn. It has improved workflow and efficiency compared to other current market solutions at our office. Bugs have been fixed quickly and the development team responds admirably well to feedback.
PROSThe software is easy and intuitive to use. The UI is good and makes organization of projects and sub-projects trivial. The simulation accuracy is good, the low frequency accuracy is especially critical and a major reason for our use of the product. The graphical representation of results is also getting better with every update which makes them faster and more intuitive to interpret.
CONSIntegration with geometric models could be improved, mainly via a direct link with .rvt or .ifc files. The current roadmap does however promise some improvement in this regard.It can be cumbersome to have to manually divide surfaces in the geometric modelling software beforehand if the user wishes to place different materials on a single surface. Some rudimentary customization within the tool itself would be helpful.
Reasons for switching to Treble Acoustic Simulation Suite
More intuative UI, better accuracy in low frequency simulations, browser based application.

Treble review
The simulation platform is easy to use, every step from setting up a simulation to running the simulation. The possibility of being able to work on simulations whilst others are running is very time efficient. It is easy to make alternations on models and re-run/make new simulations with the same setup.
CONSThere are some features missing from Treble that I am used to using in similar products. I had a bit of a hard time getting models into Treble from SketchUp and it is quiet sensitive to the way of modeling.

Fast and Intuitive Acoustical Predictive Software
We have had a very positive experience showcasing this software as part of our acoustical consulting practice and are eagerly awaiting forthcoming updates announced earlier this month!
PROSTreble is extremely easy to create, manipulate, and share audio and predictive demonstrations of room acoustics with unheard-of speeds. My clients love the ability for us to collectively manipulate their designs in real-time and then see/hear the results in mere minutes.
CONSTreble has a huge opportunity to make this platform something that non-experts can run with showing simplified data results and creating modules that work best within interior designer and architect workflows, not just acoustical practitioners.The software is currently geared toward auralizations favoring English and Icelandic speaking scenarios within its bank of audio files. It would be great to see Treble create or collaborate to create banks of similar spoken word/conversation audio files in languages where cultural mannersism and phonetics are much different to the Germanic examples embedded in the software.

Our journey with Treble - danfonika
We used Treble actively for the first time recently. We integrated the software into the initial design stage of a project, where we utilized a number of acoustic analysis approaches. We were tasked to refurbish a studio space to be compatible for mixing Dolby Atmos projects. Although the basic space had a number of positive structural attributes, Treble allowed us to analyze more specifically the low frequency energy zones in the room that could potentially cause issues when more electroacoustic sources were installed in the room. The results were incredibly positive, and we are looking forward to utilizing Treble on the next architectural project, where we intend to use the Auralization tool as part of our client presentation package.

CONSThere is not much to not like! possible to map the surface receiver option to the shape of the wall?animated ray trace option for mid/hi-frequency analysis?Ability to import from other 3d design tools - Fusion 360, AutoCad, Rhino 3D

Treble Acoustic Simulation Suite, user since launch
Excellent. It has significantly increased our productivity.
PROSTreble is already a very good product. It is very easy to use, highly intuitive, and with experience in modeling and simulation, the results appear to be very reliable.
CONSWe do see some bugs every now and then, which are quickly worked out by the support team. It would be good to see some more functionality in the very near future.
Reasons for switching to Treble Acoustic Simulation Suite
The hybrid wave and geometric solver is a great idea and works well.

Great software with promising future
Treble allows for fast and accurate simulation results and helps improving confidencein acoustical designs.
PROSBeing well integrated with SketchUp makes it very easy and fast to create/modify acoustic models. The intuitive workflow and fast cloud computation allows to go from importing a geometry to having results in only minutes.
CONSHaving better options to compare different materials before applying them to the model surfaces in combination with a Sabine/Eyring RT calculation before starting a simulation would be very helpful for calibrating a model to measurement results.

First Treble project was a success
Very good experience. Fun to work with.
PROSAuralizer, IR download, quality of the simulation result (I trusted what I heard immediately)
CONSIssues placing speakers due to the minimum distance to sealing and wall which results in an unrealistic setup. E. g. when I have to place sealing speakers 50cm below the sealing it is no longer a sealing speaker as additional room reflection are generated which are not there in real.

Effortless Acoustic Simulations
Quick and easy to use, accurate. Auralizations are great.
CONSThere seem to be a lot of exciting features in the pipeline. Just looking forward to when they arrive - at the moment it's fantastic as an architectural acoustics modelling tool, and in future it seems like there'll be a lot more features.
Reason for choosing Treble Acoustic Simulation Suite
Cost, functionality, speed, cloud-based.
