Hi Hector, In one of my talks with Michael Gerzon (or, rather, one of my listening to MAG sessions - he talked, I listened and tried to understand), he hinted that there was a more direct path, but didn't elaborate further. Given that you can encode HRTF's in a spherical harmonic framework (Evans,

Hello, I was also wondering what other techniques exist to perform this B-Format to binaural conversion other than what I've been already doing: decoding the B-Format signal to a virtual 3D speaker array placed using HRTF IRs for each speaker location. Are there any ways of going directly from

Hi All, thanks a lot for your replies. Harpex-B is quite expensive - I like to try Tetraproc, but I am not sure how to run it on my mac without Linux... Do you have an advice? The SC3 library looks very nice as well. I will give it a try! Thank you, Moritz Am 04.04.2012 um 13:27 schrieb Jos

Hello Moritz, If you're up for getting into SuperCollider, we've just released the Ambisonic Toolkit as an SC3 library: www.ambisonictoolkit.net/ We've included three different sets of binaural decoders, using two measured sets (IRCAM Listen, UC Davis CIPIC) and a synthetic head set. On 4

TetraProc It does both A- and B-format to stereo/binaural. I use it (very happily) on a Mac. Michael > Dear List members, > > over the past months, I have been following this group with great > interest. > > I would like to ask you if you can give me some advice on converting > B-Format recordi
