22. What about recording and studio processing?
Description
This article is from the Ambisonic Surround Sound FAQ, by Martin Leese with numerous contributions by others.
22. What about recording and studio processing?
This FAQ is aimed at the domestic listener. Recording and studio
processing are two areas of Ambisonic technology that have been
omitted deliberately - the topics deserve an FAQ of their own, but
somebody else will have to create it. As an interim measure, this
Section lists the contact details of companies involved in these
areas. Please contact them directly; I do not work in the pro audio
industry and have limited knowledge of it. Be aware that, in general,
equipment designed for the pro audio market is more expensive than
domestic equipment. SurroundWorks®
Recording of acoustic music by means of ambisonic surround technology
for current stereo reproduction as well as future surround sound
release. Employing the 24-bit Nagra-D digital multitrack and the
SoundField microphone, SurroundWorks is available in the studio or on
location either as a primary or as a secondary archival production
system.
