Been a bit busy, so couldn't chip in on this. For the last 8 years, we've had students experimenting with the SF mic.
One of the things we discovered very soon is that a photo of the scene was technically valuable when trying to keep track of recordings and orientation. More sophisticated photography helped with distance to key sources as well as direction. Some students experimented with displaying stills with their recordings/composition, since, in the spirit of multimodal perception / McGurk effect/ motion-bounce illusion etc, it seems that pictures help auditory perception and vice versa, unsurprisingly. cheers Dr Peter Lennox School of Technology, Faculty of Arts, Design and Technology University of Derby, UK e: [email protected] t: 01332 593155 ________________________________________ From: Sursound [[email protected]] On Behalf Of Martin Leese [[email protected]] Sent: 08 October 2013 21:30 To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Sursound] Sense of direction (whole new idea) Dave Malham wrote: ... > Might be better to develop a smartphone app that took a photo > of the mic, geo-tagged it and associated that with the recorded file, Rather than take a photo of the mic (bit repetitive), take a photo in the direction the mic is facing. Years ago (around 2000) I read a paper where somebody teemed a still camera with a mono mic. They found that the sound recorded at the time the photo was taken helped create an atmosphere for the viewer. I see no reason why we can't move the other way, and use a still photo to help create an atmosphere for the listener.
