Does anyone on the forum have expertise on impulse recording acoustic spaces? Ambisonics?

I def dont mean familiarity…I mean expertise ?
Im looking to capture a room in a very specific way using ms and blumlein variations as well as positional variances to normal room sampling…so Im hoping :slight_smile:
Im not sure how to integrate but Im thinking of using ambisonics 2nd order to yield a bit more resolution in front to back so 8 channels should be enough but I would also like to capture the C channel for each position set? is it possible to maintain even a non C channel setup but use an implicit C channel capture to assist anchoring of Left to Right cues
Cheers

Well - I don’t know if I really qualify as an expert, since I haven’t published any scientific work on the subject. But I invented and developed this, which is basically a tool for multi-positional, multi-directional, three-dimensional virtualisation of real spaces, with six degrees of freedom for both the signal source and the listener, relying on 3rd Order Ambisonics throughout its entire signal flow. A few years back I compiled the underlying concepts in this little primer.

… fun fact: Nuendo was used to record and edit all the thousands of IRs that were needed for the creation of this product. :slight_smile:

Please feel free to ask, I’ll try to help - but I have to admit that I didn’t really understand yet what you are trying to achieve, in the end …?
