Indeed. Immediate use these last 2 weeks was adjusting output levels of 4 layers simultaneously in a week-long installation/performance of 38 different 10-minute Ambisonics+binaural+stereo pieces. The different pieces needed different adjustments while performing, while maintaining the relative levels of the various layers. My complaint about missing inserts in fx-chains in Reaper was a general one, not relating to Ambdec or any other decoder-output, or about the plugin-version of ambdec for that matter. > Even then you can re-route the output, e.g. to record it. Yes, as noted in OP, only inconvenient. Ardours flexible Jack-integrated i/o patching/routing is missing in Reaper. Multi-channel inserts would lessen some of the pain. > That said, a new version is in development, it will handle up to > 5th order, and probably also a separate subwoofer decode.

Looking forward to use that. -anders _______________________________________________ Sursound mailing list Sursound@music.vt.edu https://mail.music.vt.edu/mailman/listinfo/sursound - unsubscribe here, edit account or options, view archives and so on.
