Soundfield VST Decoder

Does anyone know of a good Soundfield decoder similar to the Rode one?

The Rode decoder is good but seems to be useless for Atmos. It’s limited to VST2 and doesn’t appear to extract overhead channels properly. While its GUI indicates all channels are being extracted, using Supervision reveals a different outcome.

I suspect this issue might be due to the channel limitations of VST2.

I’m not sure if this can do what you are looking for, but I bookmarked it a while back for the day I might get an ambisonic microphone:

Thanks! Yep, I have seen that, I’m just seeing if there are any cheaper options but I may have to cough up the cash!,

I’ve emailed Rode and I’m crossing my fingers they come up with a VST 3 version. I really like their GUI.

I ended up purchasing Audio Brewers abTanscoder and abDecoder, but they don’t have enough automated parameters to be really useful

Me Too!

So odd that haven’t done this given they sell an immersive microphone. Probably only sold a few compared to say their wireless stuff though.

For all kinds of Ambisonics-related tasks, these free (but feature-rich and highly professional) plug-in collections are indispensable:

→ SPARTA - SPARTA

HTH!

I had a quick look at this and I can’t see how it does 7.1.2. Heaps of other formats though

i’ve been asking rode a few times about a possible decoder-update; they said (dec. 24) that “there are some plans to release a silicon compatible version, but there have been some delays with the dev. process”. using harpex otherwise, and also spat revolution, which is more flexible (but has to run as a separate app in parallel).
