Bruce Firstly, thank you for the new plug-in, looking forward to trying it out, once i het it working. And a special thanks for the information about the level of 'W' being a little 'hot' I did some quick tests of a couple of albums and after reducing 'W' by 3db before feeding into your earlier

I've released a classic UHJ to square/rectangle decoder which can be found at: https://www.brucewiggins.co.uk/?p=1836 It can also pass out B-format with or without shelf filtering applied. It's a JS effect, so Reaper is the ideal platform (there is a JSFX VST that should work on other DAWs,

I convert UHJ to B-format using the Blue Ripple decoder (free stand-alone program).  Then whatever process you are familiar with can take you to stereo using whatever microphone layout you prefer. https://www.blueripplesound.com/download/uhj_stereo_to_ambisonic_bformat_conversion Paul

Hi All, I'll reiterate Daniel's response. The ATK uses the word "encoding" to describe transforming from _some encoding format_ to B-format (classic Gerzon FOA). To go from a UHJ stereo encoded signal (from a CD, or whatever) to quad the signal path in the ATK would look like: [ UHJ stereo

Good morning, The procedure that Eero describes is a good way to go. I've been using some of Farina's FIR filters in a matrix convolution plugin to perform similar conversions within Reaper. It works rather well for me and is fairly low latency. There is a UHJ to Ambix filter here:
