We'll need a bit more information. * Are the mics omnis, or directional ? If directional, what are the directions ? * How exactly to you compute X and Y frm the mic signals ? * Does the decoding work on speakers (without HRTF) ? Ciao, -- FA A world of exhaustive, reliable metadata would be an utopia. It's also a pipe-dream, founded on self-delusion, nerd hubris and hysterically inflated market opportunities.
