If you take for example the first four channels of third order Ambix set, you get an Ambix first order order signal. Then if you need FuMa first order you need to adjust the W gain. A different matter is e.g. using a higher order decoder with only a first order signal, or mixing a first order signal into a higher order one. Then for best results you need to modify the first order signals. This may be what you remember. Ciao, -- FA A world of exhaustive, reliable metadata would be an utopia.
