That is the simpliest solution. But simply using the channels (after ambdec) assumes your ambisonics speakers are at the positions 5.1 expects. Doing so with panning-to-amb sets you free from that and even allows you to rotate the set-up. In that faust dsp file I also added a separate volume control for the center channel, I found a 1:1 mix of that is to heavy. The interesting part starts when you try to improve the sound within reason. And thats where you use the rear-channels (which are normally used for ambient in the movie) to create an ambient-half-sphere around you... BTW: What to do with the LFE-channel? Add a lowpass and mix it directly on 'W'? Or ignore it altogether as all the other channels are full-range already? > if you want to get rid of the hole in the panning (to the rear), you are > prepared to cheat anyways. in that case, it might be interesting to try > a sixth source in the rear, derived from summing SL and SR, maybe > including a few allpass filters for decorrelation... Hm, allpass-filters are something I haven't yet looked at at all. Will do so. Currently I created six sources in the rear derived from the two rear-channels of 5.1. Maybe I will also play with a bit of delay there to widen the space... Next time I will post a compilable project instead of the single faust file. Should make it easier for most people:-) Have fun, Arnold
