[microsound] video and surround

[Davide Oliveri]

Hello and many thanks for sharing and speaking about your opinion.

Did you record ambisonic sound or it's a matter of editing ? And what did
you use to edit ?

I tried to do something in UHJ about one year ago and I used Max/Msp
externals Ambiencode/Ambidecode,
but I didn't like the result because I wanted to achieve the effect of
"flying" sound over the head
and I guess it's not so easy to do with just two channels...

You can listen an excerpt of the result here <http://vimeo.com/5150228>.

So one can use ambisonic in surround system and get a better surround
effect, it sounds interesting.
I wonder if ambisonc is actually used in newest sourround productions.

Don't you think that surround could be an "invasion" of the space of the
(film/video) audience ?
I mean, we see something "over there" but we hear something "here".

However i didn't find the sound of "the adder's bite" so present to be
considered "here" and i think it's a good thing.
By the way, what is the best configuration for the speakers to liste the UHJ
format, in front or at side ?
