In this case I spoke of 3h and 3h1p .AMB files, brought into some LRTQ + extension form. My question if you could not just code this into LRTQ - UV PQ - the latter 4 channels from the B format hierarchy - has not been answered on this list. ;-) - This idea came basically from Jörn Nettingsmeier, who suggested that the stereo downmix from the .AMB components could be derived just from the 1st order components, with few or no obvious disadvantages.)
i wouldn't want to take credit for this "idea" - it's just the way UHJ works, and for a very good reason. Using higher orders, you could create sharper virtual microphones, but then you are messing with the overall balance. for a stereo downmix to be meaningful in the general case (or a mono one, for that matter), the balance of sounds should be pretty much the same as in the full-sphere version. which means you might as well disregard the higher orders.
