Re: [Sursound] Splitting a 10.2 file

If you like patching boxes together there's also OM-SoX, a visual programming 
front-end to SoX (it's free, cross-platform and open-source): 
http://sourceforge.net/projects/omsox/, 
http://linux-sound.org/omsox-review/omsox-review.html 

Cheers,

[Sursound] Question about UHJ

2014-03-13 Thread Schumacher Marlon
Dear list,

A friend of mine was planning to encode a recording of his instrumental music 
(appr. 20 mic feeds) into 2-channel (2D) UHJ format and was strongly 
discouraged as UHJ would introduce nasty phasing effects. Since there should be 
some hundred 2-channel UHJ LPs and CDs (which should be stereo compatible) I 
wonder if this is true? I read about the stereo-widening effect when listened 
to undecoded (which was sometimes purposely used asa production effect), but 
wasn't aware of these phasing artefacts.

I'd be happy about any advice/comments.

Thanks,
Marlon

Hi,

Thanks everybody for your well-considered comments. 
The reason for going for a 2-channel format is compatibility with distribution 
media formats (CD) - and I suppose it will mostly be listened to without a 
decoder. 
The possibility of recovering (2D) B-Format can be very useful, I think 
(although apparently not 100% possible).

Cheers,
Marlon
