Hi, in my experience converting stereo to Ambisonics is a bit of a kludge - you will get some extra wrap-around / immersion with the super-stereo type processors but whether Harpex would be able to make anything useful out of that I don't know. - that's a question for the Harpex people! M/S is already very flexible which is why it's used so much in film soundtrack recording. It's quite simple to "wrap" MS recordings into 5.1, etc. But if you're looking at being able to create "shotgun" virtual microphones via Harpex, I'm not sure that there is enough information in the signal. I'm not a mathematician but I imagine that the absence of a real W signal would make this very difficult. You can always record an omni along with your MS mic and get horizontal B-format! best, Justin Justin Bennett jus...@justinbennett.nl www.justinbennett.nl http://jubilee-art.org/ _______________________________________________ Sursound mailing list Sursound@music.vt.edu https://mail.music.vt.edu/mailman/listinfo/sursound
