"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."
That is exactly what I was trying to remember, many thanks Fons. Which is good, as the specific workflow question I had here is actually on the encoding side, i.e just using a single 3rd order encoder plugin to generate both 1st or 3rd order material as needed, so the above issue doesn't arise. Although, as more platforms like YouTube start to support HOA, I can see the above potentially becoming a problem when combining b-format recordings with HOA encoded material within a single mix. In that scenario I guess upmixing the B-format material using something like Harpex, or HOA microphones would be the solution?
