Question that just occurred to me. I'm very
ignorant about spatial
audio, and although I'm sure several of my colleagues could tell me
this, I thought it might be sort of on-topic here. Is it possible, or
easy, or sensible, or worthwhile, to reduce a B-format recording into
stereo in multiple different ways in order to achieve different
subjective "listener position" results when using headphones?
my limited understanding is this: the B-format data encodes the
source position relative to some defined point in space. the decoder
can map the "origin" used to define the positional space however it
wants to. whether or not any decoders actually offer any control over
this is another matter.
