Cor, and to think I nearly bought one from a war surplus shop in Jerymyn
Street in London in the sixties!
From an Arctic UK (-16c in my garden night before last!)

Yes, it was an attempt. I'm old enough to remember wire recorders.

Eric - please tell me this was an honest attempt at 'humor'???
P.S. Congrats Fons, I surely hope to make over to Italy and have a visit
to Parma high on my list, more so now!

Hello all,
Last friday the 'LABEL' - laboratory for electro-acoustic music at the
Casa della Musica, was inaugurated. 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,

There are three of them, and Alleline.
