Do a search on ambisonics in the forum. Several extensive threads on the subject.

Btw: I meant to add this to the sticky-post / Ambisonic guide, so I made a mistake here

No big deal, but if one of the Moderators can move / end-add it there, the better.

Regards,
Andreas

Hi Andreas,

have you made some testings with the new emigrator?

Quote:
A new build of Emigrator is available. It fixes one bug: The UI was not updated according to the internal state when loading a project in some hosts. This has been fixed for OSX and win32.
for me this bug didnīt apear again since Bidule 0.6500test1

No tests yet from my side on the latest built of emigrator
Too much at professional work-place currently ongoing for me

I'll wait with further tests until the final Bidule 6.5 is out, which is rumored to offer a warp-speed offline-mode

If you like Orchestral music I strongly suggest The Beethoven Nine Symphonies conducted by H. von Karajan. Feels like your in a concert hall.

I'm trying to do a 5.1, but I just get an empty wave on LFE channel.

Check my config here.

Please, someone post a clean LFE guide.

As a newbie to this technique I'd like to clarify one thing ?

Is it important to convert...16bit 44.1khz material
that I rip from audio cd's to 32 bit before playing
it through Bidule ?

I did mix a few Queen albums
( Queen and Queen II ) with ambisonics as a test and created
a DTS-cd combining the two using this guide.

Most of the mixes hardly gained anything from it with the exception
of a few songs (shame really), mind me
I have the oldest remasters of the set that are
said to be poor compared to the current 24bit remasters.
(I actually prefer my vinyl versions to the cd's I have..they are that..cold sounding)

But as a plus side. Live recordings sounds really
nice usually in ambisonics...or whatever the proper term for this would be. Ambi-dts ? I tested on several stereo sourced fm-radio broadcast recordings and other quality live material with stereo separation (fm/soundboard sourced bootlegs mainly) and was pleased with what I heard.

Anyone done any experimenting with their BPAN etc settings for live recordings etc ? I'm curious to what has given good results other than
the default settings displayed on this guide.
Thanks.

And a big thank you to 'Eye of Horus' for this guide.

Gradius...did you ever solve your problem?

Peter C...

I'm experimenting right now with some live stuff, but I haven't really manipulated any of the ambisonic settings. I had to run the wav through cool edit to try and clear up the muddle of the mid-range, first, but I'm having trouble cleaning up. I don't experiment with the ambisonic settings because in order to hear the results I have to burn it, and I went through too many CDs, too fast.

What live stuff are you working with? ROIOs?

Eye of Horus...if you get the chance to read this...do you think you can convince Eric to do another APP album in ambisonics? Better yet, bring him here and ask him to post.

Problems with windows 98 se

Hi,

I am experiencing some problems with windows 98 se and bidule. The program gets stuck at the opening screen.

I tried some GL test , they worked allright. Does somebody has a clue?

Bidule's home page says that it is mostly for Win2K though some people have gotten it to work with Win98.

For bidule-specific questions, you might have better chances on posting on our own phorums here http://plogue.com/phorum/list.php?f=1

However for questions about the usage on bidule in the context
of a 5.1 mix, here is fine.

To answer the question though we will release 0.6500 final
before the first half of december. I might include the
"Offline rendering" mode.

Thanks for the reply, David. I can't WAIT for that offline rendering mode!

Yup. EoH already got the guide written up...

You know, guys, I've been using Virtual Microphone almost exclusively after processing through Bidule. The way I've been doing it is to just record the 4 channels that come out of bfprocedit as a wxyz file, then run it through VVM with the master gain at 3.1, using the 5.1 option (and the link boxes checked). VVM is FAST! Spits out 6 mono files in no time at all. Gotta shut it down after about 4 big conversions and start it right back up, though. I guess it's not releasing the memory, but the speed of the program MORE than cancels this out as an annoyance. Starts up fast and processes fast.

I'm not saying it's better than Besweet. You can customize your output a lot more intricately with Besweet, if you need to (and I have/do, with the DVD wavs).

Sometimes I find the final dts wav sounds better if I leave the subwoofer out (as in the original method, especially for live Floyd, anyway), but I assign the wavs as
FL = 1
FR = 3
C = 2
SUB = 4 (if I use it at all)
SL = 5
SR = 6

I'd be interested to hear what others think of this program.

Tried it a long time ago...... Don't know if that has changed, but the disadvantage was that it only worked with 16 bit files and thus you could hear the results were less bright than the original sound files........ And in this program it certainly was a hearable difference !
