Hi there - you may be interested in this. Just did a test of converting the soundtrack of an Ambisonic full-dome show to binaural using the Ambi-X plugins (that has a rotate in the suite that we are checking out for a VR version). 1st Order > Binaural using 5.1 preset. Be great to know what people think!
