Thanks for putting the plugins through their paces, Michael! Pretty happy to be referred to as the "nerdiest thing in spatial audio" :)

[@michaelgwagner]

My pleasure! Great stuff and excellently implemented!

[@D5x610]

20 tracks is 2420 channels! That’s insane.

[@michaelgwagner]

Did not think of it that way but now that you say that: 😳😱

[@corticallarvae]

What about converting back down into 3rd is their either interesting artifacting or does it function more efficiently?????😅

[@michaelgwagner]

Converting higher order to lower order in Ambisonics just mean dropping the higher order channels.

[@corticallarvae]

It’s likely for installations

[@michaelgwagner]

Yup, exactly.👍

[@immerseaudio]

im really surprised a computer can process it as well as it does

[@michaelgwagner]

Yes, I honestly did not expect that either.

[@AjushiPhotography]

Does the ax Suite support 96kHz?

[@michaelgwagner]

I don’t see why not. 😉

[@gregoryivesdolbyatmosmusic]

HahHAH! Good question.. more speakers!!

[@michaelgwagner]

Yes, a lot more!

[@SuperAgentAB]

That's a lotta speakers

[@michaelgwagner]

People do that though. Not very common, obviously, but it happens.

[@SuperAgentAB]

@@michaelgwagner imo, this would be useful for games and with that such overkill speaker setup along with VR would be surreal exprerience.
