I was not objecting to high order for production.
But it is never going to fly in playback terms.
Everyone takes for granted (I assume) that
people can and often do things to make recordings
that do not happen at the playback end.
(How many consumers know Protools?)
That was hardly the point.
What seems to have emerged from this long discussion
is that Ambisonics is really not going to be much use
as a consumer format--or perhaps more precisely, that
rather few people here are interested in making it
of much use as a consumer format.
I think this is a shame, because I was under the
impression(and still am) that it makes for rather
nice playback.

you know, for every email you guys write about this tired old topic, i have
_set up_ and _calibrated_ a higher order ambisonic system, and believe me,
that's way more exciting.
can you please stick your heads out the window eventually? it's 2012,
bandwidth is ridiculously cheap, storage even more so [1]. there is
absolutely no valid argument to be made against very high orders indeed for
production and archival. get it in your heads that there is a difference
between what the consumer uses and what the production format is. this is
what ambisonics is all about: scalability. you get to keep your meridians and
your four quad speakers, and everyone can just live happily ever after.
[1] the only thing that's probably even cheaper is opinions.
