This would be welcome indeed, but there are other issues (although some start to disappear and standardise) like where the 0 deg is, the direction of rotation, the channel order, the normalisation, etc
I remember doing the same comparison 3 years ago, and sorting them all to compare apples with appels took way much more time than it should so count me in to help pruning it all! Ambix seem to win the order and normalisation war. Everyone but IRCAM had 0 at the front and going clockwise IIRC. Feel free to correct me though! p > On 10 Dec 2019, at 09:30, Trond Lossius <tr...@trondlossius.no> wrote: > > Would it be an idea for the community of ambisonic developers to agree on a > shared file format for describing loudspeaker setups as imported to or > exported from various decoders? > > I currently want to compare various decoders, such as Blue Ripple Rapture 3D, > IEM AllRAD, Compass, Spat, etc..
