My startle and orientation reflexes are already overstimulated so to 
subject myself to a barrage of advertisements of junk that a big-tech 
authoritarian has determined I _must_ be interested in, would be enough 
to make the monaural experience a must-have. I don't need those thugs in

Hi Stefan

One can use multiple instances to create as many beamformers as one needs

to upmix or extract. One doesn't need to be constrained to 7.1 or 5.1

positions, as all beamformers can be moved. Although in pairs and a

separate centre channel, which is a pain.

As i mentioned earlier, it good at this, a lot better than the usual

virtual first order mic. As one can suppress the rear lobe. It is

definitely sharper as well.

I can't compare it directly to Harpex as i don't have the full Harpex

version, just the algorithm in Blue Ripples Harpex up mixer. (which i use

all the time)

The Rode plugin is free so try it. I am not sure why, as I think users

would pay for its decording. I am now using it regularly.

Best

Steve

   .”

   They don’t mention this, in fact this seems to be a kind of Facebook

   speculation...

   Other sources:

   https://digitalfilmmaker.net/rode-soundfield-nt-sf1-ambisonic-microphone/

   So in my understanding you can’t simulate a high-resolution ambisonics

   to 5.1 decoding (for example) with 5 virtual shotgun mikes. Because

   the “shotgun capsule responses” won’t add up to a 5.1 microphone at

   all... (The 5.1 mike capsule responses should be rather cardioid, and

   a coincident stereophonic 5.1 microphone ain’t be good either.)

   It is even less clear how a supposed new parametric ambisonics

   decoding process should work, because such a thing is neither

   explained nor even mentioned by Rode - and I don’t see any function to

   test...

   Do I miss anything? Of course it would be quite sensational if Rode

   should have invented a new form of FOA upsampling AND would give this

   away “for free” in some plugin. (AND then not promoting this

   sensational feature...)

   But I highly doubt it...

   Best,

   Stefan

   P.S.: But in case I should be wrong, it would have been me to provoke

   a reaction from Rode which would < unveil > a very hidden and

   insignificant superresolution feature. 

Hi Sean,

My group’s first ambisonic dome was a 7m radius 4v icosa geodesic hemisphere in 
the late 1980s, and others subsequently:

Photos and descriptions etc here:  http://www.avatar.com.au/wpsite/?page_id=41

and an ancient paper on the original project here:

There’s another two on the drawing board as we speak.

We could skype about the technical issues if you’d like.

Reply-To: Surround Sound discussion group 
Date: Wednesday, August 7, 2019 at 13:39
To: 
Subject: [Sursound] The Acoustics of Domes

 

Hey there everyone! Hope you're all well.

 

I wanted to ask if anyone on the group has experience setting up a

multichannel rig for a dome setup? Specifically designed to play Ambisonics.

 

I've been working with a team looking to build a VR hemispherical dome that

can display 360 video alongside Ambisonic content. The design for the dome

structure is complete and now we're just figuring out the sound component.

The sound is meant to fit seamlessly, and no obstruction should be on the

floor.

 

The dome is roughly 7m diameter, and built out of a fibre glass type

material. We're planning to have a two layer type sound setup, so with

roughly 14 speakers per layer plus a voice of god and a sub so (14-14-1.1).

I was thinking that it could be an interesting idea to mount the sub in the

ceiling above the VOG position, my reasoning being that the sub should

emanate evenly across the floor of the dome, and it would prevent the need

to have multiple subs outside the dome structure on the floor.

 

I've never setup in a dome before and I can imagine the acoustics must be a

little strange. Upon watching this video (

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JpdRYv9xA9w), I seem to get the feeling the

task may get quite interesting. I'm hoping someone may have some experience

with this.

 

Some problems that I think may occur:

1. A boomy bass at floor level.

2. Room resonances and standing waves that don't seem to be very well

studied.

 

I think first port of call for the Ambisonic setup is to ensure that each

speaker is calibrated to be the same loudness and time delay at the

listening position. From there, I've been looking into applying an averaged

DRC filter over the entire listening space to each loudspeaker to try get

the most accurate speaker response for the listening area although I know

this is quite a tricky challenge. I'm hoping that the DRC may help to

mitigate some of the room resonances, however, I'd love to get a second (or

more) opinion on how this would affect the setup.

 

Anyone with any advice or resources on this would be very much appreciated!

 

Thanks in advance.

Organised Sound: An International Journal of Music and Technology

 

Call for submissions

 

Volume 25, Number 1

 

Issue thematic title: Computation in the sonic arts

Date of Publication: April 2020

Publishers: Cambridge University Press

 

Issue co-ordinators: David Worrall (worr...@avatar.com.au) 

 

Deadline for submission: 15 May 2019

 

There are many ways to generate and organise the sounds of a composition. 
Notwithstanding the early precedents in musical dice games and the rules for 
contrapuntal voice leading, the use of formal procedures to make musical 
artifacts without direct human intervention became practicably realisable with 
the availability of digital computers. This occurred in the second half of the 
twentieth century at the same time as artificial intelligence researchers were 
dreaming of a model of the human personage in which bodies and minds were more 
like machines than self-generating organisms. Some composers took the 
opportunity to develop algorithmic procedures to model works of the past, 
others to explore the representation of mathematically defined, natural and 
abstract processes that have no immediate musical connection to music such as 
set and group theory, probability distributions, Markovian stochastics, 
self-similarity, iterated function systems, adaptive networks and other 
combinatorial techniques. More recently, attention has also turned to the 
representation of messy collected data, scraped from the internet, or gathered 
by monitoring human, natural, environmental and other activities.

 

Early collaborations with computational systems were met with some hostility by 
the musical establishment. Arguments ranged from whether or not, in replacing 
parts of the creative process with an automated system, we were dehumanising 
the resultant artifact. Were we cheating by letting the tools do the work? Was 
is it even possible to produce tools which can adequately challenge the 
intensely human “creative” process? Did reason alone have any place in musical 
composition in a domain of human activity which should be driven by feelings, 
intuition, and other non-algorithmic considerations?

 

This issue of Organised Sound seeks articles which go beyond the description of 
how specific compositional procedures are used in individual compositions in 
order to address the social and musicological dimensions of computation, 
specifically focusing on the sonic arts.

 

Suggested themes include but are not restricted to:

· What styles of computational sonic arts exist today? How are they 
defined? 

· What is social context in which they exist?

· Do or should listeners listen differently to music in which computers 
are involved in the creative decision-making?

· In what ways are the computers involve being creative or imitating 
creative processes? Is there a difference?

· Both in creation and performance, how does such work fulfill composer 
and listener needs for artifact formation and artistic communication? 

· What is the role of the ego when composing computationally?

· In socio-cultural environments in which AI research is currently 
faced with difficult conceptual and definitional issues such as embodiment, has 
this affected how computational creativity is considered? 

· In performances where computational algorithms are freely used in 
improvisation, what does it mean for a composition to be well formed? Does it 
matter?

· Is there a role for computational processes in music education?

· Are the compositional situations in which you would not consider 
using procedural approaches? Why?

 

As always, submissions related to the theme are encouraged; however, those that 
fall outside the scope of this theme are always welcome.

Another compelling example of aural-dominated visual experience is to observe 
the effect to which the music of a film scene can radically effect not only the 
emotional experience of the experience, but of the meaning of the images 
themselves.

I suspect whether or not the image object(s) is static or in motion is also a 
contributor.

The motion bounce illusion, where application of an audible transient alters 
the visual conclusion, from two circles passing through each other, to a 
perception of them 'bouncing' off each other, is a good example of audio 
altering visual perception.

 

it would be simplistic to say that one sense 'dominates' the other, since the 
real point lies in the comparative robustness of cues -the sense with the best 
signal-to-noise ratio is likely to dominate in particular instances.

[Sursound] summary of everything (in the guise of a Sennheiser Ambeo mic critical/comparative review)

2017-04-25 Thread David Worrall
Hello all,

 

(I’ve survived moving continents twice since last posting. Now holed up mit 
Family in Chicago).

I’m about 3-4 years behind on ambsionic research and now I’m introducing it to 
a largely ignorant cohort here.

 

My trusty TetraMic is working well, as long as ambient RF is not too bad.

 

I am interested to see the latest product scrutiny by members of this esteemed 
group.

 

I was initially looking for a review of the Sennheiser Ambeo mic but I must 
admit to being defeated by the seeming lack of a search function in the 
surround archives.

Is there anywhere/anyone maintaining a searchable version?

Failing that, can someone please point me to a decent critical –even 
comparative-review of this machine?

 

I’d also like to read the list’s latest thoughts on current (3rd order etc) 
mics.

 

And lastly, (as if that’s not enough) could you all post (or email me) your 
sites and list what’s special about them?

 

Sorry to be a pest, but I have to being the evangelizing process here!

 

 

Kind regards to you all,

 

David

Re: [Sursound] Upcoming Android apps ambisonic related

2013-12-20 Thread David Worrall
I remember reading that, with exposure, human's audio-processing hardware can 
adapt to/learn how to use a non-optimal HRTF, given a bit of time.
Does anyone have a reference for this?

 Hi Dave.
 
 I never tried head tracking while listening to stereo or Ambisonics (I'm
 not that much of an insider). I'm optimistic about it, even with
 virtual microphones; but I suspect that the contribution of head
 tracking would then be limited to the interpretation of level
 differences and transitions between the left and right.
 
 What I miss is a realistic HRTF rendering experience (without head
 tracking). For every HRTF I tried (from the KEMAR and LISTEN sets), as
 with stereo, front sources were always in the head, not at the front;
 the front test tone was just louder then the rear one.
 
 I don't know what are the right conditions to experience good HRTF based
 localization (in a acousmatic context, without visual cues). I don't
 know if using a personal (measured) HRTF would be better; I just assume
 that it would be better because my own binaural recordings sound quite
 right, but probably just for me (to be verified)  because I experienced
 the real sound scenes while recording them.

 Hi Marc,
 I think it is, perhaps, a little pessimistic to talk of needing to
 assess dozens of hrtf's to find the one that's right for for you, if
 you have head tracking in use. My experience with this dates back 20
 years to the days of the Lake DSP Huron systems when I first heard
 this - even without specific hrtfs switching the the head tracking on
 was enough to change the system from not working (for me) to working.
 The head tracking (done with a Polyhemus sensor controlling the
 processing of FOA B format signals prior to decoding) was enough with
 no need to select hrtf's. I would suspect that having just a few to
 select from would be enough.

Re: [Sursound] , ambi playback configution and calibration

2013-09-25 Thread David Worrall
Hi David,

Thanks for your considered response. 

I _was_ actually thinking of it autolocating the speakers. And not necessarily 
just for ambisonics, actually. Some sort of a spectrum analyser/preamplifier 
device that derived the correct decode/gain controls of the real system 
acccording to the actual location of the loudspeakers, decode algorithm and 
your preferred listening spot ... and that self-callibrated each time you 
turned the system on.

Given how difficult it seems to be for billions of people to set up a 5.1 
system, surely there must be a market? 

I'm actually surprised that such a device doesn't already exist.
Oh well, back to the stone-age method...

 Hi All,
 I'm away from my back-up of this list (*) so please forgive if this has been 
 answered before, but
 
 Is there - on the market, or in other form - a setup system/tool that auto

 Presumably it doesn't have to auto-locate the speakers ?? That would be 
 clever and probably expensive.
 
 I have something that was built in MAX/MSP, and can turn it into an 
 application (Mac OS preferred but Windows is probably possible). It is first 
 order only, up to 16 speakers, and based on all the info about good decoders 
 I've found, and can understand and implement. Of course it could be extended 
 to higher orders, once the maths is thought through and the issue of 
 different kinds of W.
 
 Haven't done this as most of the people I'm dealing with don't have enough 
 speakers to make it worthwhile or essential. It's basically part of something 
 else which is trying to do all sorts of ambisonic things with 16 inputs from 
 a DAW running on the same computer. So, until higher powered computers become 
 affordable in an income challenged age, processing power has to be carefully 
 used. Increasing the ambisonic order starts to push up the number of audio 
 streams that need handling in a non-linear manner. Such a decoder needs 
 listening to, which means that you have to able to generate something to 
 listen to to assess how well the encode/decode works, something I haven't had 
 time to do above 2nd order.
 
 If only there was more  time, things got done quicker, or someone was paying 
 for the work by the hour.
 
 Ciao,
 
 Dave Hunt

 and here's to fake doppler shifts.
 
 
 I'd say your observation, which I agree with, suggests that space can be
 perceived through the  identification of sound artefacts that act as
 'icons' (Peirce) or 'symbols' of our experience of space. In other words,
 the realistic projection of spatial acoustic stimuli owes much of its
 success to the fact that we recognise the effect of space on sound
agreed. 
see my Space in sound: sound of space. Organised Sound Vol 3 No. 2 Cambridge 
University Press (1998) pp 93-99.

 ... and
 accurate spatial projection is, in fact, not required to activate that
 recognition (but supports it well, of course)
 
 Also, Chowning's Turenas makes extensive use of the relative relationship
 between direct sound and reverberant sound, as a means to perceive
 distance. He also uses a directional reverberation, for extremely far
 sounds

James Moorer wrote a now classic paper about this, which JC and his generation 
used extensively:
http://www.music.mcgill.ca/~gary/courses/papers/Moorer-Reverb-CMJ-1979.pdf

 ... where what is primarily heard is the reverberant field but it
 comes from a specific direction. These may be as responsible, perhaps even
 more so than Doppler, for acting as 'icons' of space.
 
 I like Peter's suggestion that Doppler is perhaps best seen as a cue of
 something passing. Good cue for revealing if one has missed the bus!

[Sursound] Ambisonic hydrophone?

2013-02-18 Thread David Worrall
Now you've gotten me into a comms mode ... :-) 

Does anone know of such a beast?
(I thought of putting the TetraMic in a plastic bag, but I'm not sure Len would 
approve :-)

Or how one might go about building one...
Failing which, does anyone have a recommendation on a cost-effective 
single-channel unit?

Hi Jascha,

I trust you're referring to
http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItemitem=28064464

Yep - I have been using one with my DR-680 - lots of recordings with all  chan. 
simultaneously.

I  have no complaints - in fact, I've just ordered a second one so I can do 
round-the-clock recordings.
There are no instructions so it took a moment to work out how to charge it, but 
it's AOK from my perspective.

Re: [Sursound] Ambisonics not on the cheap

2011-07-30 Thread David Worrall
 ambisonic system hanging from
 a 20 by 20 foot truss in the next month. I have heard that the more speakers
 you can add to a system, the better it will sound. Is that true? With higher
 speaker counts 20, we've had the best results by removing decoder
 weightings. We seem to hear a better sense of localization for our synthetic
 recordings. I had an idea that this changes the decay rate of cosines in
 what is essentially a vector projection, so each speaker occupies a smaller
 slice of the surround field pie. Is that anything close to correct?  What
 would be the optimum number and configuration of speakers for a 20' dome?
 (assuming equipment is not an issue)
 
 Ok, now the offer! Being at a place that has a lot of resources, but little
 time and man-power, I wanted to offer up our inventory of equipment to the
 community. We have about 90 speakers that we keep around for projects or
 touring. If anyone is working on a project that could benefit from extra
 speakers, drop me a line. If we've got the gear free, you're welcome to it.
 It's a mish-mash of Bowers and Wilkins, Duran Audio Axys, and Mackie 824s.
 We drive our systems with MOTU, RME, and SSL MADI interfaces. Also, if
 people are interested in testing things on this 20x20 dome and want to come
 down to Boston (it'll be up in September and October), we'd be honored to
 have you as guests!
 
 Best wishes,
 Ben

One can certainly say the ear canal is tubular but it is not just a tube 
because, for eg,
a) tube cannot be assumed to be regular, but arbitrarily complex, is 
arbitrarily flanged at both ends 
b) it has a transverse piece of sound-sensitive skin  (the 'drum'), to which is 
attached other 'stuff'
c) it is part of a head which has a brain in it that is also connected other 
sense receptors, including the vestibular labyrinth etc etc and that it has 
extensive experience using it/them to perceive events in external and internal 
environs, etc etc etc. as well as efference copy-being aware that a movement is 
one's own and not the world's.

Related to (c), does anyone have any reports of empirical experiments on the 
brain's ability to learn/adapt to HRTF encoded signals encoded for 'foreign' 
ears?

David


 Once they are in there. Which is why you can make things
 work with headphones plus head motion tracking.
 
 When using speakers, the sound has to get 'in there' first.
 And you are allowed to turn and otherwise move your head,
 so even when e.g. seated you can (and will) explore the sound 
 field around it, and your brain will correlate your movements
 with the changes of the sound entering your ears. So getting
 the right sound 'in there' is not just a matter of recreating
 the sound field at the two points where your ear canals would
 be if your head were clamped into a vise. You have to create
 something matching the field of a real source at least in the
 near vicinity. And it turns out you can't do that without energy 
 arriving from more or less the right direction.

David

 does not work very well for first-order, but then their standard decoders are 
 not ambisonic by the usual standards in that they don't employ shelf 
 filtering. in 3rd order, it sings beautifully. when you use just a subset, 
 say six in the horizontal, localisation is definitely improved.
 
 There was a quite convincing sense of the space in which the
 recordings were made.   In the Stravinsky recording, you hear the
 reverberation of the brass instruments moving around the hall, as it
 actually does.  In the recording of the piano recital, you can hear a
 slight slap echo from the front of the balcony above and behind the
 microphone.   The contrast from indoors to outdoors is especially
 striking.  As I said earlier, the envelopment and accuracy of timbre
 are the keys for me -- they draw you into the performance.
 
 agreed. i never found anything amiss with envelopment when using more 
 speakers than optimal for any given order, but localisation suffers.
 
 the most striking experience of horizontal first-order degradation over
 eight speakers was in the sala bianca in parma, using virtual ambisonic
 speakers on their wfs system. fons demo'ed ambi rendering, and we switched
 between six and eight sources.
 
 Could you describe what you heard?  I'm genuinely curious.
 
 from memory (it's been a while), the sound sources seemed to widen 
 considerably with eight speakers.
 also, the timbre seemed a bit duller. i found the same on other occasions: 
 first-order over eight seems less bright than over four or six. you can fix 
 this with a bit of treble shelf boost to taste, and that will usually get rid 
 of any clear preference your listening subjects might have, but it does 
 indicate that there is more combing going on at HF.

 That picture is a 'panoramic view', a 360 degree picture folded open
 into a plane. Each of the walls that appear curved is in reality
 perfectly straight and at right angles to the two besides. The room 
 is more are less a cube, and  the speaker setup is indeed an hemisphere. 

Thanks for the clarification! 
As someone who builds hemispheric spaces with 3D ambisonic playback

interested in connecting with others doing the same.

I do wonder whether anyone is taking into account the effect of the interaction

 wall-wart PSU or an external battery back. The pack I'm using provides 12 
 volts, so just plugs straight in.
 
 Regards,
 
 John

 Hi John,
 Does this unit plug into the AC socket on the DR-680 or how?
