Mathias, can you please post these recordings on ambisonia.com The Furse-Malham *.AMB format allows up to 3rd order
These would be the first publically available live HOA recordings of music from a HOA mike and may re-surrect the discussion of HOA decoders Which Soundfield did you use? What was the Playback Speaker Rig? How many, how many levels? What was the Decoder? Is the L?sler/Zotter decoder in the Public Domain? Or even a description?

I did not do any mixing of the material, but the IEM Graz played excerpts of the Eigenmike recording on several occasions eg. at the Ambisonics Symposium in Berlin and people did like it very much. The 360? video recording is not so useful from this recording as it was very dark in the hall and the resolution is not that great. But who needs video if the sound is great ;-) I did quite a number of recordings since then with the EM. Compared to a first order recording you can use a larger number of loudspeakers for playback and achieve a bigger sweet spot. The immersiveness is really nice! At the IEM we did several informal comparisons with switching between EM, a Soundfield (decoded 1st order and 3rd order with Harpex) and a Schoeps Omni as reference. All of these configurations have their use cases, but the representation of the space was always best with the EM. The problem of limited bandwith for each order though makes it difficult to achieve the same tonal balance when changing the decoder/loudspeaker configuration. But using good radial filters eg. by Mr. L?sler/Zotter (which is the only thing needed to process EM recordings that are currently not available to the public as far as I know) gives you something to start with and only little EQ is needed to get a convincing playback. _______________________________________________ Sursound mailing list Sursound@music.vt.edu https://mail.music.vt.edu/mailman/listinfo/sursound - unsubscribe here, edit account or options, view archives and so on.
