Re: [Sursound] Viola d'amore, Ambisonia, & bittorrent files (Marc Lavall?e)
Uttorent or Bitcomet will be fine for downlaoding these - do not load any extra antivirus software as this will interfere with the virus software (I assume) you already have intalled. If you want to be really safe online and keep your windows partition - then download and install Linux ubuntu here : http://www.ubuntu.com/download/desktop its very easy to install and at least as safe as OSX (very few viruse for linux). This will allow you to choose whether to boot windows or Linux at the startup and you can easily exchange files between ubuntu and windows (I try to do most internet stuff on linux) cheers, Gus My second question is that of bittorrent downloads.

This can be configured to not serve files, although this rather undermines the bit-torrent philosophy. > Specifically, should I purchase software that includes built-in virus > protection? No. There are no particular security problems with bit-torrent. However, many torrent downloaders automatically serve files back to the network, using up your bandwidth.

[Sursound] Bittorrent responses--thanks!
Hello Marc, Paul, Aaron and everyone, Thanks for the informative responses to my bittorrent inquiry. Paul, I had previously downloaded a number of files from your ambisonic.info site, as there is reference to it from the Core-Sound site (I'm fairly certain this is how I found it months back). I particularly like the VoiCE recordings--many thanks for sharing your recordings and hosting the recordings made by John L and Aaron H. My father is a WWII airplane buff, and I downloaded a number of John's recordings for my dad to enjoy (of course, I like them too). I'm piecing together a dedicated "downloads" computer. I can install basic anti-virus software as a safeguard or, perhaps better yet, run Linux - Ubuntu on the machine. Even with Linux, it's probably prudent to scan files I wish to transfer to a computer running Windows, but this is painless work. I'm not terribly paranoid of viruses (and most of what anyone would find on my computers would bore 'em to death), but everyone's friendly advice made me feel more at ease regarding bittorrent downloads. Thanks again, Eric -- next part -- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Re: [Sursound] Digital spreaders

Essentially, judging from the stereo spreading curve presented in the paper, even the digital kind is pretty simple. I'd bet it's an M/S architecture with a stereo spreader mostly revolving around a long delay line in the side/S channel. Otherwise, the delay network used would have to be unitary in order to preserve frequency response, but then, after that, it seems rather simple. Much simpler than unitary feedback networks could be even within the center/mid channel, nowadays. ;) -- Sampo Syreeni, aka decoy - de...@iki.fi, http://decoy.iki.fi/front +358-50-5756111, 025E D175 ABE5 027C 9494 EEB0 E090 8BA9 0509 85C2 ___ Sursound mailing list Sursound@music.vt.edu https://mail.music.vt.edu/mailman/listinfo/sursound
