MICMATCH STUDIO NATIVE v0.2.0-alpha.5
====================================

MicMatchStudio.exe is a native Windows x64 C++/JUCE application. It does not
require Python, .NET, Qt, PortAudio, or a separately installed Visual C++
runtime.

Approved audio backends:
  - Windows Audio / WASAPI shared low latency, shared, and exclusive
  - ASIO (GPLv3 source bundled through JUCE)
  - DirectSound compatibility fallback

The main window is displayed before any backend is scanned. ASIO is scanned
only when selected in Step 1. If startup fails, run STARTUP-CHECK.cmd and review
the Logs directory beside the application. If this directory is not writable,
logs are stored under %LOCALAPPDATA%\MicMatch Studio\Logs.

AUDIO-SELF-TEST.cmd explicitly scans and opens the default WASAPI low-latency
route without playback. START-SAFE-AUDIO.cmd starts the GUI without offering
ASIO, which is useful when isolating a defective third-party ASIO driver.

Fit target smoothing choices are None, 1/6 octave, 1/3 octave, and 1 octave.
Smoothing affects automatic parametric EQ fitting only. Raw measurements and
all five calibration exports remain unchanged.

This program is licensed under GNU AGPLv3. Complete corresponding source is
distributed in the adjacent MicMatch-Studio-JUCE-Windows-BuildKit archive.
