I have found amplitude planning effective in some circumstances, but I find that it's not portable, e.g. I can't deploy the same to a different speaker arrangement, and I can't scale it down to a smaller array while composing, among other issues.
I did funnily enough do some basic experiments with Distance-Based Amplitude Panning with reasonably good results, I just haven't gone much further. I've used it in some site-specific installation work to good effect, but again it didn't strike me as being particularly scalable or portable, hence why Ambisonics is still my first choice. - martin On 9 February 2016 at 22:47, Augustine Leudar <augustineleu...@gmail.com> wrote: > I have found amplitude panning to be more effective for some applications. > > On 9 February 2016 at 22:42, Martin Dupras <martindup...@gmail.com> wrote: > >> > Out of curiosity - can I ask why you want to use ambisonics as opposed to >> > other spatial audio techniques ? >> >> I'm not sure how to answer.
