Well, it depends on how you're listening: because I'm using a Metric Halo 
ULN-8, I just route the decoded signal through their console application which 
lets me record all four channels. I would imagine that most sound cards will 
let you do the same thing, if that's how you're getting the signal to your 
sound system.

Regards,

John

It has to be do-able, but how you actually manage it depends on your 
A/D/A converter, which must obviously be at least 4-track.  My PC 
motherboard has a Realtek chip, which allows 7.1 playback, but not 
record.  I use an RME UFX firewire connection, which is able to 
record multichannels of whatever you can playback and has the 
advantage of Totalmix to do this, plus an excellent metering system 
called Digicheck.  This also works on OS X.

I'm aware of the various possibilities to do this via an audio 
interface. I'd rather capture the signal in the digital domain.


Unfortunately, the usual utilities to grab and save system audio (Audio 
Hijack Pro etc.) only work for two-channel signals.

Many of these interfaces can, through their control programs, do
exactly that.

Here's how to do it on Linux. To get the sound of web browsers
(including Chrome/Chromium), I use the Pulseaudio sound server,
installed by default. I also use the jackd sound server with the
pulseaudio module for jackd. There's a few ways to record the output
of a jackd application; I prefer qarecord because of its user
interface. 

Jackd is available for Mac OSX, so maybe there's a way to route the
sound output of Chrome to jackd in order to record it.

Any way to make this work without PA (which I don't have and will
not install) ? I tried 

* using an 8-channel card configured as the default ALSA device,
* using the alsa-jack plugin configured for 5,6,7,8 channels.

In both cases the surround channels are mapped to the front ones.

Easy to record stream on a Mac

Install Cycling74's Soundflower its free and doesnt interfere with anything
Install Audacity its  a free recorder 

Set your Macs Sound Output to Soundflower16 - at this point you wont hear 
anything from chrome
at this point launch soundflowerbed and allocate tracks to play out of your 
outputs - you'll hear again
Set Audacity to record a 5/6 channel input from soundflower16

Now audacity will record your stream - save at end to a multichanel wav or 
whatever

Re: [Sursound] BBC Proms in 4.0

2014-07-19 Thread Marc Lavallée
Hi Fons.

I disabled PA and Jackd, enabled all output channels in alsamixer,
and opened Chromium 34 on the test page:
http://rdmedia.bbc.co.uk/proms/test.html
Chromium can use Alsa, but I also have a mapping problem.

Here's what's coming out of my 7.1 sound card (per jack):
Lime green (front):
  left: this is the left front channel
  right: this is the right front channel
Black (rear):
  left: this is the centre front channel
  right: this is the left surround channel
Orange (center/sub):
  left: this is the right surround channel
  right: silence...
Grey (side):
  left: this is the left front channel
  right: this is the right front channel

Then I reactivated PulseAudio and its jackd module,
and now all channels are correctly assigned,
except for the same copy of front to side.

Maybe you can try remapping Alsa channels in a custom Alsa config file, 
setting the ALSA_CONFIG_PATH environment variable to this file
before starting Chromium:

That would be my Headzone Pro.

That would be nice. Alas, I dont. No input signal in Audacity (or

Re: [Sursound] Ambisonic workflow MuLab

2014-07-19 Thread Garth Paine
Hi everyone

I wonder if anyone has looked at using MuLab for Ambisonics - in their patcher 
environment they have several sends for each audio channels and so it would 
seem it might be possible to patch together a template that did ambisonics 
quite easily - however the demo only allows 2 channels per track

 anything from chrome

 your outputs - you'll hear again
 Set Audacity to record a 5/6 channel input from soundflower16


I can't get Soundflowerbed to work on Mavericks -- it appears in the menu
bar, but crashes as soon as I select an input channel.  Instead, I created
an aggregate device (using Audio MIDI Setup) with the Soundflower 16ch
device as channels 1-16 and Built-in Output as 17 and 18.  You then
select Aggregate Device as the MacOS Output Device.

I record to a 4-channel FLAC file using Plogue Bidule, routing channels
1,2,4,5 from Soundflower to a recorder and 1 and 2 to 17  18, to play over
the builtin speakers to monitor.   Unfortunately the volume control in the
Menu Bar also controls the level of the signal that appears in Soundflower,
so I turn that all the way up (to 11) and put a gain block in the path to
Built-in Output to control the levels to the speakers.

I put the Bidule setup, a screen grab of the Aggregate Device setup, and
the 4-channel FLAC and Ogg Vorbis (q=6) files of the the Channel ID
announcements and the last 20 minutes of Saturday's broadcast here:

I am sure it doesn't help that there is no actual

is no *ratified* standard.  The last time I looked,
a ratified standard was scheduled for late 2014.
Hopefully, when this happens, browsers will
