Hi Jamie, I’m not sure the transaural to B-format approach would work as, if I understand correctly, the cross-talk cancelation filters equalize the direct paths and minimize the cross-talk paths at two control points that are spaced apart (the ears). I’m not sure how you would capture that information with coincident recording?
One approach that could work is a parametric approach DirAC-like, but that would require quite some work. For that you need an estimate of diffuseness (based on the interaural coherence) and an estimate of the direciton of arrival (based on estimated interaural time and level differences). Then you could re-encode you binaural signals to B-format based on these parameters. There are quite a few details missing from the above description but I think it’s possible, even though it needs a careful implementation and some experimentation. You can also check some quite ahead of its time work from Julia Jakka in her master’s thesis here in Aalto university: http://lib.tkk.fi/Dipl/2005/urn007903.pdf Best regards, Archontis On 11 May 2016, at 21:10, Jamie Smith <jamie.sm...@uhi.ac.uk<mailto:jamie.sm...@uhi.ac.uk>> wrote: Hello all, new subscriber here, so apologies if this topic has already been discussed. Can anyone offer a way of successfully integrating a recording that has been made binauraly into an ambisonic project? The end product would be delivered on headphones but, critically, must allow for head tracking. Clearly the two methods have compatibility issues. As a work-around I have considered this: binaural recording - pass through transaural processor (or similar) - send to 2 virtual speakers - encode into b-format - listen on headphones via ambi explorer or some VR player. It seems convoluted and likely to degrade the spatial and spectral information. Any thoughts?
