Hi Eero. Your method is similar to what Fons explained here: http://kokkinizita.linuxaudio.org/ambisonics/uhjtest/ Fons is using his own software, while you are using a goniometer. Is your goniometer part of a UHJ decoding hardware, or software? It would be nice to have a common method to detect

Hi All I don't have an UHJ decoder hooked up at the moment, but by listening to Flower of Life in stereo and looking at the goniometer I must say that this recording is not UHJ encoded. There is a lot of content with large phase differences. Those will decode to the rear part of the soundfield w

Even Immersive Audio's own, rather uninformative, website ( http://www.immersiveaudio.net/) doesn't say and only has one mention of Ambisonics (on the 'mixing' entry). They seem to have a pretty extensive of clients (see the 'http://www.immersiveaudio.net/' menu entry) so maybe one of them can comm

Hi Steve. The web site does not mention that the piece is UHJ encoded; so can you tell me how you know that it is UHJ encoded? The player on the site is streaming from soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/immersive-audio Do you know if the other piece, "Leaf Power", is also UHJ encoded? -- Marc On

2015-04-17 Thread Steven Dive
In case anyone is still interested in lowly old UHJ pieces, there is one called Flower of Life on most pages on the Immersive Audio’s site I just happened upon that may be of interest, at least for a listen or two. It’s pretty abstract and hypnotic and I found imaging pretty good and stable. I w
