Someone asked at forum about THX Setup Console - creative utility to setup surround audio
system. I'm sure, that in this case special features of x-fi processor Emu20k1 (or
what is ever) are used. I even don't try to search a way to setup it in linux. Instead
i hope to get it with jack software.
In my test i have room, where is already project loaded (just to reuse and avoid adding of
optional stuff). My current way is to route source at one time to zita-rev1, which
supports Ambisonic B, and to host with some AMB plugins to pan source and get result also
in Amb-B format. Both ambisonic outputs are mixed in Ambisonic Decoder for B format (also
as plugin). I don't know, wether my choise fot this decoder is correct; sound from
room is generated by zynaddsubfx, so errors in panning probably, can't appear there.
But when i tried to convert mono sound (W channel from zita-rev1, which is main,
monophonic, as far as i understood from wikipedia), two parameters did not noticable by my
ear, and another - panned from center to right instead of from left to right. Also i tried
"AMB order 1.1 mono pan", which did not make nothing noticable for my ear at
all, and "AMB order 1.1 stereo pan" (with room stereo output), with which i
could only increase / decrease difference between L and R channels, for my sence (i.e.,
stereo width).
Before this all i tried ambdec, but i still could not get something useful with it.
