It's the result of a co-operation between the CdM and the Promoteo Foundation. Some press photos are here: <http://parma.repubblica.it/cronaca/2010/12/03/foto/studio_musicale_per_l_elettroacustica-9816360/1/> Monitoring is on a regular octagon (5.7m diameter) using Quested SR8 active speakers. For the audio processing there are two computers, an Apple Pro II, and a Fujitsu W380 (dual quad core) running Linux. There's a Yamaha DM1000 mixer as well, Aphex DA converters, and everything is interconnected digitally using an RME ADI648 MADI/ADAT bridge. The Apple will run commercial software (PT, Logic, Waves...) but all the Ambisonics related work will be done on the Linux system. One of the aims will be to be able to mix a work in 3rd order using a software AMB mixer (in development), and then take the audio files and the mixer session file to a similar 'mixer' application at the Sala Bianca and render it there using the WFS system. So far there was no money for a 3D system (but I'm hoping to add that later, and the wiring for it is already prepared), nor for any acoustic treatment. But things seem to work well even without. I've been listening to some of Joern Nettingsmeier's 3rd order mixes and they sound really great, with the sound just 'being there' instead of appearing to come out of the speakers. You're all welcome to have look if you're near Parma, just drop me a line. Ciao, -- FA There are three of them, and Alleline. _______________________________________________ Sursound mailing list Sursound@music.vt.edu https://mail.music.vt.edu/mailman/listinfo/sursound _______________________________________________ Sursound mailing list Sursound@music.vt.edu https://mail.music.vt.edu/mailman/listinfo/sursound
