Hello, Is there a way (or what’s the optimal way) to define a custom speaker output setup in Nuendo/Cubase? I’m working in a 16-channel environment that unfortunately doesn’t adhere to any of the surround formats (the positioning of the speakers and the angles in-between are not conform) I need to…

But how do you listen to the decoded signal on a custom N-channel speaker setup (N = custom number)? Even if I don’t use the CR, I still have to route the decoded signal channels to physical outputs. In Reaper you can easily do it in a few seconds using the routing matrix. But Cubendo doesn’t allo…

Hi. You cannot make free loudspeakers placements in Nuendo. You can find tips with existing channels either you use Reaper.

NU’s physical outputs are just that: Outputs. You can assign Output Channel 1 to any speaker you like, even if it carries the name “Left” by default. Just remember to leave NU’s panners untouched; maybe it’s wise to switch them off, under those circumstances. :slight_smile: … everything would be e…

Thanks for confirming! NU’s physical outputs are just that: Outputs. You can assign Output Channel 1 to any speaker you like, even if it carries the name “Left” by default.

If the main output is 3rd order, you have 16 channels right there. Just connect them to the audio interface outputs. That’s it. [Capture d’écran, le 2020-11-13 à 10.51.40.png] Rasoul, where are you in Montreal? If you still have problems with that, I’ll go to your studio/installation and take car…

@Rasoul Morteza: I am not sure I understand your message exactly. What I would do if I had 16 speakers and if I worked in Ambisonics: I would do 3rd Order as the default mix then using CR to scan the downmix of a 22.2. Then I look at the placement of the speakers on a 22.2 and find the equivalences …

I’m not sure why you’re saying that to me. My input here is just that it’s possible to connect directly a 3rd order bus to the outputs of an audio interface.

Yes for sure you are right but the advantage of the other system is to be able to use the Multipanner and CR. You connect it of course, but what are you listening to then? Ambisonic reproduction systems - Wikipedia

Man, I know about Ambisonics. For more than 30 years. Earlier in this thread, I clearly recommended the IEM AllRADecoder. And combined with the IEM DistanceCompensator, there’s no need for the speakers to be perfectly equidistant.

Okay! Cool. The proposition I made was related to the fact stated above, ie. a tip for continuing to use the tools internally. And ok for that then: “AllRADecoder + combined with the IEM DistanceCompensator, there’s no need for the speakers to be perfectly equidistant” > It’s cool if you have the sp…

Thank you Benoit! I completely forgot about IRCAM’s solutions… indeed I’ll look into it in detail next week. I would be equally interested in anyone’s experience having used these.

Cheers
