> I've recorded with Tetramics and I've set up an HSD 3D system Mark, what is this HSD 3D system?
Can it play Aaron's B-format recordings? If you have been following the BLaH series, what we've found is that hardly any software decoders do plain FOA properly. _______________ I tend to agree with Ronald. The main music business today is iStuff, ie 2 channel. That's why we need UHJ. The only "surround" niche is films. Maybe a growing market for games. But what we need is to secretly put loadsa proper (see BLaH) Ambi enabled devices on the market. The most important feature of the Super Ambisonic Decoder is PLAYS STEREO, 5.1 .. ZILLION.1 BETTER THAN THEIR NATIVE PLAYERS. The technology to do this is for a universal media player like VLC is nearly here. This is what the BLaH series is about. Ambi technology can .. - make the speaker positions less critical. Automatic detection and design of matched decoder. - make up for lousy, unmatched speakers - incorporate Room EQ beyond the naive strategies used today all this with an inexpensive version of TetraMic. Can this be done? It already is! The Trinnov Optimizer for studio use is largely Ambi inside. It is sold as Super Room & Speaker EQ allowing speaker layouts to depart from mythical ITU-R 5.1 No mention of Ambi _________________ Oh. And if you click on a ... *.uhj *.amb or *.[new HOA format file which will appear in the next millenium when the experts come to an agreement] .. the Super Ambisonic Decoder will decode these to good surround too. But don't bother with this until you do the 5.1 stuff better ... And the guy who puts this tech into VLC gets to decide the *.HOA format regardless of what the experts say. _________________ I'll pass on the ... "all you need for Dead White Men's Music is stereo and you can just synthesize ambience and squirt it from another 2 speakers" and "What you must have is a dodecahedron of speakers, anechoic chamber + HOA" Just point out that de-pinnaeing and a Greene/Lee neck brace solves most problems. __________________ PS The most immediate need at the moment, and it is crucial, is to re-surrect Ambisonia.com. Otherwise, the best evidence that Ambi is worth pursuing goes down the drain. GV Malham, I hope you have this in hand before you hang up your pointy hat. _______________________________________________ Sursound mailing list [email protected] https://mail.music.vt.edu/mailman/listinfo/sursound
