[Sursound] Re Re Soncam

Interesting alright, although yeah with 64 mics I'd be a little worried about the high frequency reconstruction and noise alright. I'm not surprised it outputs Ambisonics though, as that really is pretty standard now in the 360 video domain and most realise that 3rd order will be the standard soon

[Sursound] summary of everything (in the guise of a Sennheiser Ambeo mic critical/comparative review)

Hi David, we'll be publishing a study comparing a number of ambisonic mics at AES Berlin next month. We had an Ambeo, TetraMic, Soundfield MKV, Zoom H2n and an Eigenmike, and we assessed them using an objective directional study, and a subjective listening test on low and high frequency timbre.

Re: [Sursound] Going from 3rd order to 1st order. (Fons Adriaensen)

"A different matter is e.g. using a higher order decoder with only a first order signal, or mixing a first order signal into a higher order one. Then for best results you need to modify the first order signals. This may be what you remember." That is exactly what I was trying to remember, many

[Sursound] Going from 3rd order to 1st order.

Hi everyone, so it seems to be very common practice now to convert from 3rd order to 1st order by simply using the first 4 channels of the 3rd order stream. However, I have this very vague recollection of that not being quite right and that there are some differences between the WXYZ channels in

Re: [Sursound] Spatial audio concert and workshops (Matthew Palmer)

Hi all, I will be over in the UK in the spring (in Liverpool, and possibly also Huddersfield) so there's a possibility we could do one of the workshops again at that point somewhere? The Spatial Music Collective also have yet to do a concert across the water which is something we really need to

Re: [Sursound] Sursound Digest, Vol 97, Issue 3

Personally I dont think it makes a huge difference. There are quite a few free converter plugins available now so when working in a DAW it's fairly trivial to insert one of those and convert between FuMa and ACN as needed. One possible solution would be to have an extra parameter in the plugin to

Re: [Sursound] Sursound Digest, Vol 93, Issue 19

Hi Trond, we actually did some informal tests on this last year, converting B-format recordings to both mp3 and AAC, then decoding and comparing these to the decode from the original wav files. It was a pretty quick test but we didn't notice any big differences in terms of the spatial imaging at

Re: [Sursound] Dialogue in center channel,,, not always

>>And which director takes care about stereo compatible picture editing? Alfonso Cuaron is possibly one such director. Both Children of Men and Gravity often panned the dialogue to match the position of the actor on screen. It's very noticeable right at the start of Gravity; first you hear George

Re: [Sursound] Soundfield MKV callibration question

Hey everyone, Jörn I was thinking that too, but I would have assumed that the test tones, which are intended to be used to calibrate the inputs on the recorder, wouldn't have included this -3dB reduction on the W channel, even if the actual b-format signal coming from the microphone did? John:

[Sursound] Soundfield MKV callibration question

Hi everyone, I have a quick question about calibrating a Soundfield MKV. At the moment the test tone oscillators are coming in with the W channel about 3.5 dB lower than X,Y, or Z (these three channels are within about 0.5 dB of each other). So obviously the best thing would be to return the

Re: [Sursound] Ambisonics and Binaural in Reaper

Hi Matthias, yeah there are a number of things I want to improve in those videos, some of which you've pointed out, and that's the main reason why the videos are still unlisted on YouTube. I wasnt actually planning on showing them to anyone yet, but a few people on the list were asking about

[Sursound] Ambisonics and Binaural in Reaper

Hi Jake/Martin, here are those videos I mentioned. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FZ5sdldXo-Y https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2cDAVFWMiEw They're somewhat rough and ready, but they should give you the basic idea of how to setup ambisonics encoding and decoding to binaural in Reaper. The AmbiX

Re: [Sursound] ambisonic.xyz

I'd like to make a binaural version available to the players in addition to the stereo version. Is there a freeware version out there for windows (don't have mac)? I The Ambi-X plugins include a binaural decoder which should do this for you, on either Windows or OSX. All you need to do is

[Sursound] Re. Boids for Ambisonic Panning

I think most of the important points have been covered already but in general I would say that when simulating distance effects, plausibility is usually more relevant than absolute realism. Also, the more cues, the better! enda -- www.endabates.net -- next part -- An HTML

Re: [Sursound] Recording B-Format (Enda Bates)

Native B-format would be the way to do it alright, although depending on your decoding/loudspeaker array requirements, the Double MS technique could be worth a look also. http://www.schoeps.de/en/products/categories/dms-tool e -- - www.endabates.net -- next part -- An

[Sursound] Home Dolby Atmos: Overhead audio without the overhead loudspeaker?

So Dolby Atmos for the home will have overhead audio, without overhead loudspeakers? Will be interesting to see how that is attempted. Some kind of transaural processing maybe? http://blog.dolby.com/2014/06/dolby-atmos-coming-soon-living-room-near/ -- next part -- An HTML
