Sorry, I will check. Anyway, the sound samples on the web are outdated, I will replace them by samples of the CD. > > i'd be very interested to see you guys live at some point.

I have to admit that the room was not very easy to use: The church was actually only the choir of a formerly much larger church. Where the transept usually begins there was a large flat (sand stone) wall, with quite distinct reflections. That (and also the presence of the surrounding noises, wind and harvesters) forced us to the close mics. But then, I like the presence, I like if you can hear the plain gut strings rasp and squeak. > > next time you meet for a recording session, would you mind me crashing > the party with an ambisonic mike in the middle? Sure, would be interesting. Actually, since the recording I bought a TetraMic for the university I work for, I definitely would have used it if I had had it already then... Actually we plan a concert with Early Music, real time ambisonincs processing and improvised modern dance (with tracking for 3d sound interaction). But this is still in the planning phase. - Giso _______________________________________________ Linux-audio-user mailing list Linux-audio-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx http://lists.linuxaudio.org/listinfo/linux-audio-user
