What is Ambisonics and How Do You Use It?

[@PanAthen]

Congratulations for this awesome intro into ambisonics. People like you give hope to platforms like KZbin that are now filled with infomercials with lots of misinformation going around hurting human creativity.

[@HSEMobile]

A very clear and concise introduction. Thank you.

[@kipETHEL]

Thank you very much!! I really appreciate your clear approach and no-nonsense style. I look forward to checking out more videos on your channel. Rock on!

Excellent introduction for someone like me who is new to ambisonics!🏆😉👍

[@MeinVideoStudio]

thank you that helped me alot to get Ambisonic to work in Davinci Resolve / Fairlight

[@benjamincraig7198]

Great Overview!

[@ryanmauk]

Amazing! This was so well done and incredibly helpful. Thank you!

[@its_fabled]

Thanks, this was very informative and understandable!

[@gauthierberthomieu7209]

2:54 you meant "add 1 to the order number then cube" to get the number of channels (and minimum number of sensors)

[@MattNolanCustom]

that still doesn't work, right? Isn't it add 1 to the order number then square it?

[@Alyxandr]

Can Ambisonics be used with old AV receivers? I have one with Dolby Pro Logic I and I was wondering if I could use this to mix music and edit videos in surround sound.

[@CandianMusicViewer]

Thanks so much for your work. Much appreciated! 😀

[@itstoastvr]

Thank you and easy to understand the basic information, but you need your experience to handle thes files 6 channels to name it “simply do” .. if you have no experience with ambisonic, (just stereo until now) .. and I wonder how long will it take to learn it. You motivated me ..

[@ArielQuesada]

Great video!!! I do have a question…. If you get a 1st order ambisonics recording is there a way to upgrade to 3thr order ambisonics like you do when you upmix from 2.0 to 7.1.4 or so…

[@AlteraSound]

There are tools to upmix FOA to HOA. I haven't personally done any tests, but Michael G Wagner did a video called "From First to Third Order" that compares a few tools.

[@anlcnar88]

Thanks for video. My question is about how can ı reproduce 2th order ambisonics correctly? I mean is there any recomandation from İTU or AES for ambisonic speaker placement for 2th order or 3th order ambisonics?

[@MattNolanCustom]

Ambisonics does not have speaker layout. It is an encoding and processing format which is speaker placement agnostic.

[@naturetalkspt]

Thank you for your explanation. very good. ;)

[@liuyin6208]

I want to know how to use Ambisonics in Cubase or Nuendo.

[@cutback443]

I almost didn't watch this bc I thought it was going to be the same annoying BS as usual -thank you for the pleasant surprise :D

[@lamecasuelas2]

Holy shit! I think i just wey myself at the Mere idea of ambisonics! 🤤

[@loudcloud6889]

At the start of your video during both moments you said "3D" and "Panning" my earbuds glitched to provide wild stereo images of those words. wtf & thx

[@Vladimir-hq1ne]

Well, I still enjoy binaural... Cause I have 2 ears, maybe? And the question - my EAX if I turn it on has some strange effects on the intro part. Is it deliberate? ;) Edit - quite old sound setup here, Sennh HD650+Creative Elite Pro PCI. THAT old...

[@kaustin6969]

ambisonics is psychoacoustic. How can a sound wave coming from 4 speakers be perceived as coming from a single point? With four speakers, the brain receives 8 versions of the signal. My brain decodes this as diffuse mono. As I move about the space, the time and phase differences remain frozen in the space. No two people will hear the same thing, so how can a signal be 'produced' that works in all spaces for all locations. The same goes for the microphone of the same name. Be well, and listen carefully.

[@MattNolanCustom]

you could say the same about stereo and the various surround formats. Everything is a compromise. Except binaural with headphones

[@mediacousticsmultimedia7359]

Much too fast and not detailed enough...

[@MacImPack]

For me good pace. Could always get deeper, but not in 9 min.
