-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Folks,
Let's say i set up a full sphere Ambisonic system. I scour the web looking for b-format files to play over Fons' awesome ambdec app. After i've listened to the few b-format files and my collection of Nimbus Records UHJ discs, i'm sitting there staring at my collection of 15K stereo tracks. So i turn on the Super Stereo mode (does Ambdec do that?). First off i play a live-studio, naturally mic'd jazz album, so there is an actual environment in the recording. Then i play something that was mic'd close and run through the boards like a modern (too loud) metal recording or for even less acoustics a Haujobb recording that was just created into (or by) a DAW. What am i going to hear over my Ambisonic speaker system? Most of the effects i've heard from pre-amps that alter stereo (with effect names like "hall", "stadium" etc) just add reverb and sound foolish. I assume it's not of that nature and is actually 'retrieving' acoustics originaly heard by the microphones somehow? If i play an ITU format like a movie in 5.2 or 7.1 what will happen over the ambisonics system? I've read one source that said it actually sounded "better" but i'd love to know how and why. What have you all heard playing back various sources? Thanks, Bearcat -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.19 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAlE6wtQACgkQ2VfYlq5/hEOwmwCdEEjny9ZxvUed7sBAnjWBDPZD xnAAnimGR5TYnaTKP8E8J2KObbsto86E =ydYx -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
