If your array has speakers in diametric opposite pairs, you may want to take a look at our papers at http://www.ai.sri.com/ajh/ambisonics/BLaH.html In particular, the third paper, "Is My Decoder Ambisonic?" aka BLaH3. I'd be happy answer any questions you have. -- Aaron Heller Menlo Park, CA

Brian, Make sure you have the latest version of VVMicVST. Dave's done some excellent work to make it more stable in recent months. You should be able to get it from this link VVMicVST v1.2 for Mac: http://vvaudio.com/sites/vvaudio/files/VVMicVst_m12.zip Have fun. John __

Thank you from a cranky engineer. I will try it out. It is the least expensive way and i like your routing. With a ULN8 it will be equally easy. Although SB used to barf at VVTetraVST so I had to remove it. It may be ok now. Even though SB is multichannel it would crash on launch after seeing th

It's just taken me fifteen minutes in Bidule to set up the following: TetraMic into 2882, A-format out to VVTetraVST with side-chain out from 2882 outputs to four channel recorder, with files going to a folder called A-Format VVTetraVST to VVMicVST with side-chain out from VVTetraVST to a second

Yes if i had Bidule or Nuendo or a compiled version! Neither of which I have. I have the PC tools running in emulation or boot camp but to decode while I record has never been possible in OSX. I use a Sonic 305 and or a ULN8 with the record panel for sessions/concerts and edit in SoundBlade. Reap

I'd be very interested in hearing what people think about this too. I should point out that I haven't gone quite as far as to say that Harpex will turn a TetraMic into a 3rd order microphone. What we've stated in our papers is that in two sets of formal listening tests, Harpex scores equall

I've been using the TetraMic happily in OSX for a while now. Initially in Bidule, where all the software worked well, and lately in Nuendo, where the latest version of the software also works well. At the moment, I'm listening to a recording of a Jonathan Dove mini-opera called Seven Angels made
