Eero - try showing a still shot of the scene, rotated through 90 - that should do it...;-)

Hi Exactly what Dave wrote. The human auditory system has also "learned" and "got used to" which particular sounds "normally" come from above and from below. Leaves rustling in the wind, birds, aeroplanes - from above. Footsteps etc. from below. I have tried playing such sounds from the "wrong", opposite direction The listeners have been very confused about the direction. In some cases they didn't even recognize the sound. Rotating the soundfield "onto it's side" (= rotating laterally -90 degrees) makes the listener totally whacked up, as an aeroplane just simply doesn't pass you by from your _left_ side. :-) Eero Dave Malham wrote: > Have I really heard sounds from below me??
