Hi Alex!
There are plenty of millions Ambisonic A to B-format converters out there.
As you have choosen a Sennheiser Ambeo VR Mic, I would stick with
Sennheiser, as it has the best match available.
So https://en-us.sennheiser.com/ambeo-abconverter is your A-B converter.
It comes as a VST, VST3, AU and AAX plugin for either Mac or Windoze.
Unfortunately it is NOT available as Linux.
Once you have your recordings converted to Ambisonic B-format, there are
also plenty of millions of plug-ins out there.
My favourite ones are from the IEM of the university of Graz, Austria:
https://plugins.iem.at/
And with a slightly other approach, but at least at the same level:
https://leomccormack.github.io/sparta-site/
You already mentioned Matthias Kronlachner's plugins. (Great staff, too!)
The questions is not IF you can do it, the questions is: What you wonna do?
As I said, there are plenty of millions of other suites, plugins and stuff.
It's your adventure, it's your creativity and it's your choice.
My best advice is: To do the best, do a test!
... and talking abouth advices: After several tries, I am sticking with
Reaper. Reliable, strong, fast and it has ALL the features I need.
Have a great time and a facinating adventure.
Take care and stay healthy!
Cheers
Thorsten

Hello all,
I am a newbie regarding suround but hightly interested and motivated to investigate
it. In that regard I did some R&D already but get stuck due to a couple of
basic questions I would like to come up with here:
1.) I have a Sennheiser Ambeo Mic which gives me 4 channel Ambisonics A-Format.
In order to achieve 2-channel binaural Sound via Headphones I have to use a
respective binaural decoder (as part of e.g.
https://github.com/videolabs/libspatialaudio), however, is it correct that I
first have to convert it from A to B-Format ?
2.) If 1.) applies what is the best way to convert it ? I found this:
http://www.matthiaskronlachner.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/01/2012-09-27-Kronlachner-homepage.pdf
and it states quite straight-forward equations to do it:
W = 0.5 * (A + B + C + D);
X = (A + C) - (B + D);
Y = (A + B - (C + D);
Z = (A + D) - (B + C);
Is this correct and is B-Format what is typically called the Ambisonics Sound
field ?
Thanks in advance,
best
Alex
