I don't think anyone thinks that! What people do think is that Ambisonics needs some sort of commercial accesibility-- which it could get if discs were put out that provided not abstract Ambisonics as it were but Ambisonics as decoded to the 5.1 set up. The message was that no one (statistically speaking) in the "real world" wants anything that requires thought and effort. Given that Ambisonics can be decoded to any speaker setup (even if the result is not idea), why are there no 5.1 SACDs that show how Ambisonics works on a 5.1 setup? One cannot expect people to be interested in something they cannot hear in demo form Robert

again to anyone who says things like "ambisonics cant compete with 5.1 please bear in mind this is like saying "amplitude panning can't compete with 5.1 - it doesnt make any sense at all. You mix your tracks horizontally ,without elevation, using ambisonics plugins and burn your ac3/dts file like any other surround mix. Ambisonics is an approach to creating a soundfield it does not require any special hardware it can be done with software. The new 22.4 (or something) sound systems that cinemas are launching soon will allow height information as well. You could mix a lot of films using ambisonics when this happens. _______________________________________________ Sursound mailing list Sursound@music.vt.edu https://mail.music.vt.edu/mailman/listinfo/sursound
