The Soundfield microphone didn't attract sound engineers
because it was so expensive.
In my experience, early models were also very fussy regarding output
levels: either noisy or distorted. The expense kicks in when
professionally one needs more than one example in case of failure,
which was not unknown in those days.
- ProTools is a recording studio standard workstation. ProTools was designed
with stereo in mind and in the beginning it wasn't capable of handling
multichannel audio. Thus there were no multichannel plugins either.
Protools came along a decade later. It was analog when the SF mike
came out, and lack of phase coherence on multi-track magnetic tape is
one reason why ambisonics didnt take off then.
In a professional recording studio productivity is a major thing and
you cannot
spend time by playing with different toy softwares and bounce signals between
different programs.
I dont quite see this argument. We take as much time as necessary to
get things right.
