One vocal proponent of Auro 3D as a classical recording format insists that a huge square of omnis is the only acceptable miking technique. No comment.
That should have read "cube" rather than square, of course. Apologies.
The only thing you can hope to do with such a recording is to deliver the signals to the speakers.
Exactly. One microphone per speaker, plus spots as necessary.
As does e.g. 22.2. At least 5.1 had *some* paradigm behind it, or could pretend to have one. That can't be said of any of the 'umpteen speakers' formats.
Which paradigm do you mean? I've read somewhere (I guess in the ITU recommendation) that the content in the surrounds should be decorrelated from L and R, but that's about all...
