I opened a four channel wav. with WXYZ first order signals into RX7.
At first sight looks good to me. The waveforms and spectrograms of
different audio
channels display as expected. The tracks are named by default L, R, Lsr,
Rsr, possibly
because this is a four channel wav file. With Ambisonics you need to
know yourself
that WXYZ are displayed as L, R, Lsr, Rsr.
You can select between "Wiew channels separately" and "Wiew sum of all
channels".
In Preferences, Channel routing the following channels are listed:
L, C, R, Lss, Rss, Lsr, Rsr, LFE, Lts and Rts, which are the Dolby Atmos
signals.
I assume that there are no frequency bandwidth limitations in any of the
channels.
Monitoring outputs of course know nothing about Ambisonics. Izotope
might easily
be interested in implementing Ambisonic track labeling and routing into
RX if we'd give
them active feedback.
When a multichannel file is active, the level meter at the bottom of the
main window
has a single meter bar.
The RX plugins seem to operate as expected, they affect on all audio
channels in the
same way. The first necessary plugins for me would be EQ, Level and
Normalization.
After that Noise Reduction. As with stereo, you can select the noise
sample from just
one channel or from several channels (as in stereo).
The specrum analyzer displays a separate curve for each audio channel
(as in stereo).
I don't have any third party multichannel plugins installed at the
moment, so I cannot
say anything about them. Stereo VST plugins don't open when a
multichannel audio
file is active.
I opened just a four channel wav. file, not any other Ambisonic file
formats yet.
