Ok, had the head in the amb manual and online
reference material, when time
permitted, and have another question.
How do we handle early reflections when using an Ambisonic Jconv instance?
I'm experimenting with the yorkminster-amb.conf (wonderful clear sound), and
i don't yet understand how we create, or use, early reflections from the
same instance. (If indeed this is required.)
The York config includes the early reflections. Of course they
are fixed for one source positions. Using the delay, offset and
lenght paramters you could split it up so you have a separate
input for the E.R. For example (only W channel shown, the
rest are similar):
# in out gain delay offset length chan file
# ---------------------------------------------------------------------
#
/impulse/read 1 1 0.100 0 3480 4800 1 Minster1_000_WXYZ_48k.amb
/impulse/read 2 1 0.100 4800 8280 0 1 Minster1_000_WXYZ_48k.amb
The first line selects the first 100 ms (which will contain the E.R.),
the second line is the reverb tail without the firtst 100 ms.
If you send the same signal to inputs 1 and 2 the result will
be the same as before, but now you can set each level separately.
For a large space such as York Minster there would be discrete
reflections even well after 100 ms, so you could increase the
4800 and 8280 (= 3480 + 4800).
