Re: [Sursound] Ambisonic workflow with mac and Nuendo
Le 2014-07-08 04:43, Emanuele a écrit : Through Kickstarter I founded a Brahma microphone to have access to the Ambisonic technique and to play with it to learn how to use it. My main recorder is a Sound Devices 788T (which give me the option to listen to the stereo result when recording Ambisonic). Not with the Brahma. SoundDevices multi-track recorders have a B-Format stereo decoder, but the Brahma outputs A-Format, AFAIK. For monitoring purposes on the 788T, you can route the Brahma capsules 1 3 to the left and 2 4 to the right. As for the plug-ins, you can try mine! I'm also a Nuendo user. http://www.ambisonicstudio.com Cheers, Daniel Courville ___ Sursound mailing list Sursound@music.vt.edu https://mail.music.vt.edu/mailman/listinfo/sursound - unsubscribe here, edit account or options, view archives and so on.
[Sursound] Calculating speaker placement
Hi All, After lots of head scratching (and buying more speakers), I have finally decided on a 32 identical speaker set up ( plus four subs) I have decided to base the array on platonic solids. Even though advise on this list has said there is no need, I wanted to be sure of the most accurate angle coverage, and also decoder efficiency. As this is new build, the construction can assist in placement, and I can preserve equal angle coverage. It also means all speakers will be in or against a boundary allowing for greater use of space. I will delay and adjust gain according to distance, and EQ each speaker at the centre to compensate. I want to use the vertices of both an icosahedron combined with the vertices dodecahedron. Effectively the faces and vertices of a dodecahedron. The problem I have is that I need to find the angles from the centre (listening position) to mark a speaker position (within the space), and was wondering what was the best way of doing this? Laser level protractor maybe or has anyone any other methods? Or is it all just a bad idea considering that not many speakers will be at equal distance? As usual all advise is greatly appreciated.

Re: [Sursound] Calculating speaker placement
Hi Steve. You can use golden rectangles (of ratio 1/1.618) to calculate placements of your speakers. You can refer to: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Icosahedron https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dodecahedron https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Golden_rectangle -- Marc Wed, 9 Jul 2014 23:51:00 +0100, Steve Boardman boardroomout...@gmail.com wrote : Hi All, After lots of head scratching (and buying more speakers), I have finally decided on a 32 identical speaker set up ( plus four subs) I have decided to base the array on platonic solids.
