Hi Jörn, Saved me some typing - pretty well what I would have said :-)Dave
Absolutely same opinion, right? :-D
Surround is not just about Ambisonics and maybe WFS, yet again.True - but they are ones that work and are well established. Dave
Ambisonics and WFS are well-established?! Depends on your view on this... It also sounds as if Ambisonics and WFS don't have some drawbacks, and of course both systems have some.
You "review" a system (SRS, CC3D) you even don't know enough, and obviously in a negative ("snake oil") way. IMO they are trying to develop a system which covers some demand from outside. "Cinema" is in the name of CC3D. Even if they are copying some elements from elsewhere, I think this is still ok. There seem to be some new aspects. On a system level, you can't say SRS is copying anything else, because there is no established parametric/object-based 3D audio system elsewhere which they could copy.
Hmm, reading through this, it seems that basically they've discovered MPEG4 Spatial Audio Object Coding :-)
Was this about 3D audio? Doubt this... And anyway, outside from academic research nobody has implemented this.
For my part, I will try to get more information about this. However, I could imagine why SRS won't discuss their system on this list.
A slightly warmer reception for the "surround outsiders" might actually help...
