This is a very interesting setup. Ambisonics expect your speakers to be on an equidistant sphere (or circle). You have a few options with your setup. Here are a few, in order of practicality for the composting process:
1) use the free SpatGris plugin, in free mode, and position your loudspeakers on the grid where they will be, and pan along. Simple and efficient, amplitude based panning. You can choose the radius for each speaker. 2) set 2 ambisonic arrays (one of each circles) and crossfade between them 3) set the full setup in a fake sphere, using the first 8 as you 0 deg elevation and the other at 45 deg: it won’t be perfect, but you could use elevation to crossfade between rings… The trick is to try them: give each setup 2 h of play time, and see which one inspires you the most. They will all have quirks and you will compose around them. That is true for any setup, even stereo ;-) p > On 27 Mar 2018, at 22:49, Søren Bendixen <soerenbendi...@gmail.com> wrote: > > allright > my speaker setup (expected to be) 2 concentric circles with 8 speakers in > both circles, so I will have to concentric circles of speakers. > then also an inner circle more but all sound in this in headphones. > >> Den 27. mar. 2018 kl. 23.43 skrev Pierre Alexandre Tremblay >> <tremb...@gmail.com>: >> >>> If done correctly, there is no sweep spot issue. >> >> Sorry, to be accurate: there is no more sweet spot issue than vbap.
