[Sursound] Complicite Binaural Theatre Piece
Hi, "The Encounter" a Complicite theatre piece by Simon McBurney with binaural sound is on the following site until the 8th March. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ghc-DM1TVWU Started, I think, at The Edinburgh Festival, then recently been at The Barbican in London. Solo live performance with a dummy head, live sound sources, and pre-recorded material. Binaural material sounds fairly convincing, if left/right exaggerated. Front/rear confusion not obvious, possibly because one can see what is going on. Worth a look. There is about 20 minutes before it starts in anything like earnest, but it's easy to skip though it.

[Sursound] 3D7.1 speaker setup
Hello all, Now that I’m getting a bit claustrophobic from the constant headphone use when mixing 3rd order Ambisonics, it would be nice to have a speaker-based solution that would give my ear lobes some relief, but doesn't break the bank.. Does anyone have any experiences with the 3D7.1 setup described here?: http://www.codemasters.com/research/3D_sound_for_3D_games.pdf Would this be adequate as an entry point for 3rd order listening, or is there a better solution (which uses about the same amount of speakers…) ? Any budget speaker recommendations? I’m looking at the JBL LSR 300 series powered monitors as a good candidate, as they can be had for around $150 each and have good reviews. Is 1 sub enough, or is it better to have 2 (these speakers roll-of very quickly below 75Hz) Their dispersion is sort of wide though, is this a benefit, to fill in the "holes" due the small number of speakers used, or a negative in terms of phase cancellation problems? Thanks ! Albert ___ 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.
