You are annoyed, because all those elements without any correction are changing your perception, in traditional audio?:confused:

Not really. Just slightly annoyed that it's just theory with limited practical application. And that the application of it is probably as flawed as the source would be without correction.


That and I want to use my ticket to space, and to buy that flying car that I was promised 30 years ago. It's 2011, and according to some of the old movies we were supposed to have already colonized mars, living in domes on the moon, and other great accomplishments. But no, todays headlines, more rioting in egypt, bad economy, yada yada yada...

That's pretty futuristic !

Not really. When I was in primary school in proximity of, but before 1980, we were being taught all kinds of imagine what types of sports we'll have on the moon in 1/6th gravity and other this is how we plan to colonize the moon and stuff, since the moon landing was fairly recent news at the time. So what happened? Our computer mice have more computing power than some of the early SPACE ships. And yet.......

It just seems to me that if we're going to compensate for a room with our speakers, shouldn't the ability to sense and measure the room automagically be a part of that process? 3D cameras now at least, which should make those measurements possible for relatively cheap. Or just bypass the whole process and use headphones.
 
I had the idea of experimenting with holophony by recording lots of tracks of a rainstorm and doing stuff with it, but it strikes me that the quality of the result is entirely dependant on the listening environment. So I didn't bother experimenting with it.

For Holophony you dont need many tracks. Only a mono record. The environment becomes created during synthesis from the room properties.
 
What's next to the moon ?

I was kidding. The moon landing, great as it was remains something of a futuristic red herring. I still don't understand this thread but I've been made very welcome in it.

Hmm...it depends which way you look at it. Actually landing on the moon itself has had no real direct effect on the improvement of our species. But a lot of the technology that came out of developing the project led to advancement in other areas such as healthcare and transport, to name a few. A lot of our home appliances were built from tech developed by NASA. Space travel in itself serves no greater purpose than the quest for knowledge, which I support. But R&D on these space projects has always yielded technology that turns out useful to people in general, some of which we take for granted.

Anyway...back to our regular programming...
 
I'm tempted to say it's pretty bloody shitty.......

you call bullshiet, bloodshit!
We are able for recreate the genuine sonic field, today. But we need new approaches. At the conventional ways all we can reach is tonal accuracy, true spatial audio will never happen in traditional audio.

You aren't able for recreate anything. Just stick a fucking mic on it and press record. Stop trying to re-invent the wheel.
