[Sursound] Ambisonic.info - new page on SPS200

2018-04-16 Thread Paul Hodges
I am doing some work on my perpetually unfinished ambisonic.info web
site.  The first outcome of this is a page on the SoundField SPS200
which I bought a couple of years ago for a special project.

I had this calibrated by Core Sound for use with Dave McGriffy's
software, and I have made an attempt to analyse the differences from
the TetraMic and the use of SurroundZone which this exposes.

https://ambisonic.info/sps200.html

There will be more updates in coming weeks.

Paul

Indeed. The latest Oppo box has the same problem. 
But perhaps people only listen to 4 minute singles these days.


I quite understand that the demands made by one 
file per track recordings on writing to storage 
in real time are currently too great to handle, 
whereas boxes like the Alesis HD24 and RME UFX 
will store between 24 and 60 hi res tracks using 
multitrack files and proprietary storage formats; 
but on the other hand, why not either write 
soft/firm-ware that will link these together, or 
separate them into single files, for playback?

Incidentally, one of the drawbacks of multichannel wavfiles for HOA is their

1GB lasts about 13.5 minutes in 2nd order or about 30.4 mins in 1st order

It doesn’t help when some equipment fails to play back more than one file in 
sequence. The latest deeply cute Sound Devices will only play one file, and not 
continue on to the  next one. So your playback time is limited to some 15 
minutes (at best resolution) and it only records polywav.

Talk about gun/foot/shoot…
