Re: [Sursound] about principled rendering of ambisonic to binaural

2022-09-18 Thread Søren Bendixen

I´m also "only" a musician/composer, trying to get wiser..:-)
But I do know that VST is not working in Logic - this is AU format only.

I would try stuff, and listen.
Maybe you could use Reasurroundpan the new surroundplugin in reaper. if U don´t 
have reaper U can get a 60 days free evaluation (or more)
Another plug in I use for listening back is DearVR MONITOR.  Penteo can do the 
same and go directly to Binaural but goes from atmos 5.1.4.
Or you can try Flux spat revolution (expensive)
There is trial versions of all this plug ins (Spat R is Not a plug in though)

[Sursound] build in speakers

2020-11-13 Thread Søren Bendixen
Hi
I´m doing a lot of sound design for different museums and the museum uses 
mainly Genelecs, different models (the Dante suited ones mostly). In the 
current exhibition we have 57 speakers.
they sound good, distributes the sound fine, but they look like..speakers and 
take up the space like speakers. 

And the designer of the exhibitions (and the soundesigner) doesn´t like a 
modern looking speaker in the middle of set up about a neanderthal.
The speakers end up being placed "out of sight" - 3,5 - 4 meter above ground, 
sometimes a combi of this high and on the floor.

So If I want a group of Mammoths walking through the wood, they walk 4 meters 
up (and suddenly on the ground and up again) - so I don´t do the walk...
Sometimes we want a projection on a large stone (build of wood and stuff) to 
speak directly to the the viewer/listener, but the speaker hangs from the 
ceiling - 3 meters up...

In rare occasion we are allowed to build in the Genelecs and after calibration 
it ended up sounding really good. (eight Genelec´s pointing outwards in a 
circle, playing stereo (aka 4 stereo set ups)

A lot of you guyes have probably experienced the same challenges. And like me 
been searching the marked for build in possibilities 
But I cannot find anything that both sound good and is build in capable (or 
just "out of sight").
Where should I look?
any experience to share?
pros and cons?

I know there are "laws and order" regarding how a speaker needs to be build to 
make a sound (a good one)
and I´m talking to some technical guys about why not event a speaker that uses 
the thing it is buid into as the sound chamber.
Of course in conjunction with some calibration.
So you have "the gut" of the speaker and uses (in this case) the Stone as a 
chamber.
Anyone ever tried that?

Another thing is how to cover up the speaker diaphragm/membrane, the we don´t 
eat up the frequencies.

Re: [Sursound] speakers pointing away from center

2020-10-03 Thread Søren Bendixen
Thanks for the feedback. I feel more reassured.
Spat can do DBAP, and I´m waitng for an answer from Flux regarding speaker 
configuration.
I think it wold be ideal to make the right set up, but I could be theory only - 
Don´t know - I wil make som tests next week.

I´m on a tight schedule, so learning new software is a challenge, but I will 
look into it.

[Sursound] speakers pointing away from center

2020-10-02 Thread Søren Bendixen
Hi Surround group
For my next exhibition sounddesign I need to make to set ups that is causing me 
some concern
one set up is 4 speakers, another is 6 speakers (but are only feeded by 4 
channels of sound)
BUT for both set ups the speakers are point away from center.
The speakers are arranged in a circle, They play out at an angle of approx. 30 
- 40 degrees, seen from a horizontal angle, so they point upwards, a bit. Hope 
this is understandable.

I usually work in reaper + Spat Revolution when I have to make "crazy" 
configurations, but this one I can not get drawn in spat R and I do not 
immediately know a program that can do such a set up. Next week I have to 
experiment with a similar high-pitched line-up - and think that I might just 
have to produce directly.
I will try quad format first and see/hear what happens...

One of the set ups is a Mammuth standing in a river. The sounddesign should 
"make the mammuth come alive - so I have one speaker for head, one for each 
side and one for the back of the animal.
The diameter for the speaker circle is around one meter for this design, The 
diameter for the other design is approx. 2 meters.

In both cases there must be a coherent sound design (in one set up we add 
speak).
If anyone has ideas, experiences I would love to hear about it.

Don´t know, but be sure to check and follow all suggestions re. setting up 
Reaper for Spat R. (in the Spat R. userguide 1.1 - be sure you´re on 1.1.). Do 
all suggestions before inserting the return plug.
Be sure to have the same frame rate too. (under project setting in reaper  -  I 
use 30)

Do you request block size in reaper? (under preferences - device) - btw: I 
don´t see anything attached..?
in Spat R: You have to manully set the block size (= buffersize) and not choose 
any device.
A save and restart of both program sometimes helps.
But I also get a mismatch at 1024, but It workss fine when choosing 2048.(just 
a test session with one send and one return - when I did my last project I was 
on 4096..!)

What I do depends if I´m bullding from scratch or building from an existing 
arrangement.
But I tried to dublicate a stereo arrangement and then did some changes - 
applied and it was saved - and kept coming up.
When you write in changes in ex. Azimuth always press enter on your computer 
keyboard. then apply - and then save! always save save save..:-)

> What errors are you experiencing? I’ll keep updating.
Well I have a long list of errors  I will try and collect them and post them 
asap.

One thing though: If you´re on a mac (don´t know about PC) you can benefit 
(sometimes save your session) by disableling HyberThread. I use an app called 
"CPUSetter" (free but he gets happu if you donate - i Did)
just enable it again if you´re using Logic Pro or other stuff.

[Sursound] any users of Flux Spat Revolution (together with Reaper)?

2019-04-20 Thread Søren Bendixen
Hi Folks
I would like to get in contact with users of Flux SPAT Revolution, in 
conjunction with Reaper. Other DAWS could do, but I have serious issues with 
SPAT and Reaper, but some or most of them could come from SPAT R.
I on one hand I need help (I am in contact with FLux, they are kinda slow 
(busy!), and the problems seems to fundamental, that I need someone user 
experience - and sharing of issues/solutions.
On the other hand I need to confirm or not confirm that these issues is caused 
by my misuse or misunderstand of the program - could be, but I seriously doubt 
it.

Re: [Sursound] Looking for mic advice

2018-08-12 Thread Søren Bendixen
Hi Len
This is very interesting information.
I’ve have just ordered a mixpre 6 so I’m ready for 1’ st order ambisonics
But my aim is using ambisonics in exhibition set ups so people can walk around 
in spaces/full circles ca. 10 meters in diameter 

I have no experience with ambisonics and not at all in “live” settings but 
regarding your info it seems like only a 2’ end order ambisonics recording will 
be usefull?
If usefull at all..?

If usefull; Can you recommend Zoom F8n (or “just” F8) as a recorder with 
Octomic?
Or any other 8 ch recorder around  the same price range? 
The main point is low noise pre’s -  no fancy stuff.

Re. Price: the list price is 1999 USD  for Octomic and you mention that it is 
just a little above Sennheiser Ambeo (which i can buy in Europe incl. tax AND 
shipping for 1920 USD at Thomann) Is your price ex. Tax and shipping?
I live in Denmark.

Re: [Sursound] Looking for mic advice

2018-08-10 Thread Søren Bendixen
Hi
I´m in the same situation, want to record nature (and other things) in 
ambisonics. and I have no experience - and waiting for the new Røde(Rode) NT- 
SF1 - I will be just below 1000 USD
Røde took over Soundfield and then bought some knowledge about Ambisonics 
equipment and this microphone would be the result ... In Denmark, for example, 
Sennheiser ambeo costs around 1900 usd
They announced the NT - SF1 almost 6 months ago - so..

my speaker setup (expected to be) 2 concentric circles with 8 speakers in both 
circles, so I will have to concentric circles of speakers.
then also an inner circle more but all sound in this in headphones.

Re: [Sursound] (a little )help needed for ambisonics museum project

2018-03-27 Thread Søren Bendixen
Thanks Steven
I´m considering a move to Reaper, but 15 years ago I did choose Logic as my 
DAW, second by Ableton Live (only remix stuff, and DJ like stuff and 
loop-making - no mixing)
after fumbling around.And logic is (also) my composing tool. nevertheless i 
have the feeling, that Reaper will do the job. The key command thing is 
essential! and big issue for not jumping right away.
I have done several “parrallel designs” in different sessions in logic and 
assembled them later (in logic)
I cannot figure out how to get 16 ch busses working in Logic
If you have any idea it would be helpfull
I´m testing spatial Audio designer now - and maybe it can get past the bus 
structure.

Okay (dont start a gearslutzlike fight) so the phase issue is not to be 
considered a problem - if done correctly - but what about the sweet spot issue?

Hi Johannes
I’ve been demoing it for a few days!, so I know about it - but only scratching 
the surface - and I actually forgot it on my testing list.
I liked it, and I´ll get back to MNTN soon, but now my concern is DAW - stay in 
Logic Pro or go to Reaper

I could afford Nuendo, but are nervous about time for learning. 
Max—is it max for live?
I work daily in Ableton Live, but guess max is a different thing.
Logic has 8 ch busses.

I don’t know about vbap - cannot find a lot about it - any info, links to 
videos and plugin makers? Will vbap work in Reaper or/ and Logic Pro?
Sounds like ambisonics is no go re. Sweet spot and placing sounds.
Btw: when I wrote sound related to specific objects it is just “close to” 
specific object :-)
Maybe I should just stick with my “unusual” use of the standard surround 
configurations - using 7.1 and just using it in “circle mode”..hmm

PTHD is just too expensive, nuendo just expensive...
The other stuff might not be relevant if I don’t use ambisonics.
I think I get the bus thing but if I stay with 7.1 it will work in logic

e session…in logic.

I also have sound particles but it is stand alone and I might use for some odd 
stuff.

So - what do you recommend?
And what do see as problems/issues?

I’m sorry for taking your (holliday) time but I need someone to says: Buy or 
get this software and do this - and you´re good :-)
And I know I’m addressing my questions to a forum of people how does far more 
weird stuff than this :-)

I hope I’ve made myself clear. If not: tell me.

Re: [Sursound] wireless speaker/transmission recommendations

If you are looking for a soundcard that gives you almost endless possibilities 
I have made a few large project for exhibitions (at Moesgaard Museum, Denmark) 
and can recommend  RME soundcards (fireface 2) with the included routing system 
Totalmix.
It works.
I´m not associated with the company.

A few years back I searched for new monitors - found PSI audio - and now
I´m an ambassador of the brand. But no salesspeech - I bought the A17 - m
for studio use but they also have the A14 - m for smaller needs.
The A17 - m is the best, most neutral monitor I ever had (used to ADAM -
all kinds from A5 to s3A, and genelec (the smaller ones), Tannoy (in
exhibition - the new ones...), JBl (the old ones..), B, Yamaha,

It is expensive, at least in Denmark (my country), but just excellent. Not

Re: [Sursound] Ambi Head

2016-03-12 Thread Søren Bendixen
If you have any experience with ambisonic/bformat files and logic to share 
please do so - I´m working in 7.1 (3/4.1) for a major project and wanted to 
decode to 7.1.
Sound field limited will not show up in 7.1 (3/4.1) but only in 7-1 (SDDS) (and 
also “lower” formats)
Harpex B works excellent in 5.1 but to my ears not i 7.1
All the VST´s is no go (I don´t have vst to au adapter)

I´m still a newbie re. ambisonic/Bformat but it seems and sounds very promising.

cool - I stand corrected - I haven´t managed to get the plug in to show up i 
logic, although validated.  Charles fromt the company did´t managed either :-)
But yes - in quad with a quadfile it shows up (also in Pro Logic - LCRS)

It does´t work with Logic Pro X - but almost none of the all the plugins
for decoding/converting ambisonics works in logic - or the work with
limitations, odd behavior or only  fine up to 5.1. For other DAW´s Ambi
Head seems like a cool plug in
