I did it with 3 SF mics, played back over 3 sets of speakers, so that people could walk through the virtual rendition of a cathedral. It's not mathematically elegant, but preserves distance information (and change of distance info as one walks through) quite well. I didn't use extra spot mics as you did, but that ought to be rather good for those little details and small sources cheers

Recently I did a little experiment - i was creating the illusion of a barman serving drinks to some people in a "snug" which is little room where ladies off "ill repute" would have a drink in pubs in Ireland when only men generally drank in pubs. I did this by placing one microphone in the snug with two actors - and one microphone on the bar and recording the scene. I then placed two speakers in exactly the same place the microphones had been facing the inverse direction (which happens to be towards the "audience"). An absurdly simple idea but it worked fantastically well with the banning of the barman walking over to the hatch and asking the people in the snug what they wanted creating very effective spatialisation. Of course there wasnt the same height information. I have since experimented with recreating whole soundfields like this with many microphones placed in 3d to record a soundfield spaced apart and then placing the speakers in exactly the same place. It works wondefully - recently we did a church filling up and then people taking the places in their pews and having individual conversations (here the cocktail effect kicks in - you can listen to an individual conversation or just hear the general hubbub of th e church). Does anyone know of others who have miced up a 3d soundfield in this way ? I have read a couple of things but none of them are quite the same, best, Gus -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
