Surely I did something wrong since both output a file with

, the other surround was loud as the front. Rest were normal
sounding. Might this have something to do with also my program
not having a recognizable 5.01 to WXYZ_O plugin . The bidule still didn't recognize it after installing and I chose to replace it from the list (I have it installed), and I tested each of the three settings and always got the same oddly quiet rear.

What am I doing wrong :S ?

Sorry to take so long getting back to you on your question concerning the bidules I posted. First of all I would like to comment that you can forget V3, after additional testing and modification I still haven't got it to work to my satisfaction.

Now back to the other question....if your progam doesn't recognize the 5.01 to WXYZ_O plugin, you will not the proper result, since the majority of the imformation comes from that side of the chain. And yes the besweet command line is the usual one. I would suggest testing the ambi_1.5.bidule first. If you get this one working... mine should work as well.

Hope this helps a bit.

Cheers,
desertrat

Hello Kempfand
Please help me.
I use Voxengo Pristine Space convolver. But Voxengo Pristine Space convolver has only 2 in pins and 2 out pins. So I don't know how I can convolve strereo file with W,X,Y impulses at one time ( I need 6 out pins!!!!!!!!!).
Thank You.

In Pristine Space, use the comfiguration settings to set for 2 ins / 4 outs (or whatever you need). You have to click on the "?" on the upper-right part of the VST-screen.

Just in case, there is also a manual which describes this

As for the settings, you can check the picture on Farina's public server:

Cheers,
Andreas

NEW Bidule for excellent results !

Kempfand and me developed a new bidule based on the old Kpex method.
The results (especially on synths music are amazing !)

You need of course Bidule from Plogue and the HNM filter which can be found on Daphy's site.

The new bidule can be downloaded from :
http://www.app.demon.nl/SAD5.1inBidule.rar

It uses freeware only !!

Please give it a try and share your thoughts !!

kind regards,

Eye of Horus

Hi,

thanks !!!

2 remarks :

a. It was a co-production of Kempfand AND EoH ! (credits should go , where credits should go )
b. It is not an Ambisonics plugin !! It's a total different method, nothing to do with Ambisonics or Ambiophonics !! (You've put it in the Ambisonics dir.....)

The bidule is actually based on this method :
http://forum.doom9.org/showthread.php?s=&threadid=57179
which we improved .

kind regards,

Eye of Horus

ambiphonics

Well Andreas, I managed to rewire my speakers so that I can place them at a 10 degree angle. The results were incredible. I tested it agaist the other methods using CD-RWs and I feel this method is the best for orchestral music. Congratulations on work well done. Also thanks again for all the others who have worked hard to create bidules for surround sound.

Regards,
Scott

New bidule

I actually tested the new bidule and compared it to the ambiphonics using Brian Eno's Music for Movies CD. I found the surround was impressive but it didn't have the breadth and ambience that the ambiphonics had. When I get around to it I'll compare some of my rock CD's. Currently I'm testing some other impluse responses in SIR.

I do have a request. I find the bidule rather complex and I would like to take you up on experimenting with it. At some point could you expain some of the components, such as audio matrix and the 500.0000 module (or provide me with a link). I was thinking of substituting the pristine convolver but I think that I'm getting enough sense of ambience for my ears.

Regards,
Scott

Tantulus: I am glad you had good success with the Stereo Dipole. As you say correctly: "results can be incredible".

In fact, I would expect it to work very very well with orchestral music you use, as this type of music often already contains "wet" information (i.e. reverb from the recording space, ambience etc). All you then can do is to give it a better left-right localization of instruments, and that's exactly what the Stereo Dipole does.

In case you haven't already done so, I also recommend you download the test-tracks from Virtual Acoustics Project @ ISVR, burn them on CDR, and listen on your STereo Dipole. There are the 6 Stereo Dipole wave files in the Download section.

Cheers,

Andreas

Virtual accoustics Project

Well Andreas, I took your suggestion and downloaded the tracks fromVirtual Acoustics Project@ISVR It made me really appreciate the stereo dipole. Incidentaly, I also found out that my speakers were out of phase when I first listened to the tracks and I couldn't hear the effect. Looks like I'll have to do my bidule comparisons all over again.

Do you think it would be possible to produce a stereo dipole for the surround speakers or would that not be an advantage?

Thanks again

Scott

@ EoH and Kempfand

Thanks for the guide. While I'm still most satisfied with the standard ambisonic bidule, your new one gave excellent results.

@EoH
On a side note, are the results of your testing of different encoding methods as performed in alt.bin.... still available? Could you (will you) post the poll results in this thread so everyone can see them?

Thanks alot guys, and keep up the good work.

Regards,

SallyDog

I didn't test it, but Kempfand replied with advice not to do it this way. The beginning of the files can be slightly out of sync.
He has however two alternaticves, which you can read here :
