Re: [Sursound] Big Pre-amps?

[Augustine Leudar]

Ive used the Orion - there was some driver issues - there was some setup
thing that required the an internet connection as well which proved a pain
as the machine was on site and not online

[Sursound] A-format to B-format Conversion and Calibration Files

[Gerard Lardner]

What A-format to B-format VST encoders exist that can encode recordings 
from an ambisonic microphone for which I have calibration files in the 
form of IIRs? I can use the stand-alone version of VVMic; it works well. 
But is there a reliable VST equivalent that will use the same 
calibration files?


I know about VVEncode; but I am having some problems with it. I think 
these may be down to my PC rather than to VVEncode, which is why I would 
like to try an alternative.


The mic in question is a Brahma, but it was re-calibrated in VVMic format.

A second question: Is there any way to convert calibration files from 
IIR format (as used by VVMic) into .WAV format (as used by X-Volver or 
Brahmavolver) and vice versa?

Have heard good things about the Horus, too, but

Btw, nice usage of the word "few" there. Classy. 
A quick calculation tells me you mean "seven or 
so". That's the number of SM58s I use on a good

Well put -- except that 72/8 = 9!

[TON Eichinger]

Hi Len,
get 2x Merging Horus, its audio quality is extremely good and its 
affordable:

http://www.merging.com/products/networked-audio
You can do up to 96 channels of preamp and 96 channels of AD conversion 
in just 4 rack units.
Connect them via a switch to a computer, it replaces a soundcard plushas 
a headphone output on board.


The ideal companion is Merging Pyramix workstation
http://www.merging.com/products/pyramix/
http://www.merging.com/products/pyramix/masscore-native
It can record up to 96 track at 192 kHz, or 64 channels at 384 kHz, DXD, 
DSD256


Cheers,
Othmar Eichinger

Re: [Sursound] Big Pre-amps?

[Marcus Wrangö]

Hi!

I would look into an AVB-solution from Motu, they have a 2U 16-channel rack 
unit with digitally controlled preamps, a couple of those and a AVB-switch 
would probably be a cost effective solution. I haven’t used the new motu 
preamps but the AVB racks DAC’s sound great for price. 

Best,
/Marcus

Re: [Sursound] Big Pre-amps?

[Ben Bloomberg]

They use these at MCO 2 and 3 in the Netherlands. Many of the Metropole Orkest 
albums that you hear are through them after a Neve VR legend.

[Sursound] Open-source Spatial Audio VST library - SPARTA

[McCormack Leo]

Hello all!


I just wanted to quickly share a link to a new open-source spatial audio VST 
plug-in library developed at Aalto University, Finland.


The library aims to fill in some of the gaps left by other spatial audio VST 
libraries. So we hope that they may prove useful to the community : )


Currently, the library includes the following plug-ins:


  *   AmbiDEC: a frequency-dependent Ambisonic decoder for loudspeakers or 
headphones; with SOFA file support.
  *   AmbiENC: a basic Ambisonic panner supporting up to 64 input channels and 
up to 7th order output.
  *   Array2SH: converts microphone array signals into Ambisonic signals; 
includes presets for A-format mics, Zylia array, Eigenmike etc.
  *   Binauraliser: direct HRTF-based binauraliser up to 64 input channels; 
with SOFA file support.
  *   Panner: a frequency-dependent 3-D VBAP panner.
  *   Powermap: displays the relative sound energy for multiple directions 
using Ambisonic signals as input; it includes PWD, MVDR, and MUSIC algorithms.
  *   Rotator: an Ambisonic rotator, which supports head-tracking via OSC 
messages.
  *   SLDoA: a frequency-dependent Direction-of-Arrival estimator, which 
operates on Ambisonic signals up to 7th order.


For more information and for the VST download links, please see: 
http://research.spa.aalto.fi/projects/sparta_vsts/

The source code can be found here: https://github.com/leomccormack/SPARTA


Cheers!

Re: [Sursound] Big Pre-amps?

[Len Moskowitz]

We found Antelope Audio's (https://en.antelopeaudio.com) MP32 32-channel 
mic pre-amp, and its Orion and Goliath interfaces.


The interfaces come in USB, Thunderbolt and HDX versions, and are 
expandable via MADI. 64 channels is do-able.



Has anyone used these? Any comments on sound quality and software 
stability?

They'll need up to 72 channels.

Any suggestions regarding pre-amps?
