There were three 'with height' workshops at the 2012 AES meeting in San Francisco* that featured an Aura 3D playback setup. David Bowles (Swineshead) and Paul Geluso (NYU) played some recordings that were quite nice -- height in front, with convention surrounds -- but the remainder, including recordings from NHK, Dolby, DG, and 2L, were either terribly distorted or a phasey mess. I recall Kimio Hamasaki apologizing, saying that the mix down from 22.x to Aura-3D didn't work well. The recordings that Morton Lindberg (2L) played were pleasant sounding, but it seemed as if you were sitting underneath the musicians, which was odd. I was sitting directly behind Martha de Francisco (Polyhymnia) who thought they sounded wonderful.
