Well as my introductory opening post, I've finished my Colossus CD. http://homepage.ntlworld.com/henry01/ambitunes/colossus/colossus.htm As far as promoting...
Henry, congratulations!.... are you going to announce to the list? There's also the 3D audio list that would be interested too. What did you use to do the...
All, Now that we have Jean-Hugues on board .... here's the first thing I'd like to hear people's thoughts on. Here's an idea: Every month, or whenever there...
This is an excellent idea. May I vote for DVD-A rather than SACD cos there are many more DVD-A players than SACD. From: etienne deleflie Here's an idea: ...
Yes the DVD idea is sure a good one. And the goal is to have it useable with 5.1 systems and only with them ? That is with no height information ? But you all...
Etienne, This is a nice idea, but is out of the question for the material I've put on your site. The recordings I have are made for "archival, scientific, and...
Hi Folks, Briefly: I concur about the name of the site. Now that stage 2 or 3 is occurring, it would help in many circles if the name was changed. Easier now...
I too agree that getting rid of the name "bootlegs" is a good idea. Also my contributions do NOT permit for-profit use. Best to keep things the way they are. I...
Hi Aaron, ... I think the model would have to be an 'opt-in' model. Where you choose to contribute a particular piece to be included in the next DVD-A ...
... ok Now that stage 2 or 3 is ... Yes. I think if you were wanting to keep your recordings for a potential record deal, then you'd have to 'opt-out' of the...
... vote number 3 ! ... so clearly, ambisonic bootlegs (or whatever name it might take) should at least remain a site where people can share recordings that...
... I'm thinking that the DVD would contain the original *.amb tracks as well .... as data files ... so that when ambisonic playback becomes more common, these...
all that said, all I am trying to do is generate some cash that can help pay for the server, pay for the continued development of the site, and get some cash...
... I don't think specifying a bit rate makes sense. Each contributor decides whether his work need better than 16b. What would be more useful is a page...
Eteinne, I would think that advertising is probably a lot easier to achieve in the near term to generate income. Producing DVD's involves a lot of upfront...
Gentlemen, As a professional beach bum, I'm not really qualified to comment on the the commercial aspects of Etienne's project. What really excites me is that...
... yes. So far I have looked at 2 possibilities. The first is Google advertising (which I have actually even created an account for). Typically, you can earn...
... that's also what really excites me..... getting surround stuff 'out there'. I was hoping that having a centralised repository for ambisonic files would...
... actually, I think that is a very good idea.... let someone else take care of all the difficult licensing stuff.... someone who has been doing that for...
... As an artifact of the research for our next paper, I happen to have a pair of decodes of the Stravinsky piece sitting on my computer -- . classic...
Aaron, I'd love to hear the recording in Dolby ... and provide feedback .....What feedback are you after? comparison between the 2 decodes... or feedback on...
... Comparison of the different decodes, and possibly uncompressed vs. DTS/CD vs. perhaps some other compression method like MPEG-4/AAC. ... If you mean ITU...
Aaron, ... lets do this, I think this is an important step ... working out which is the best 'consumer compatible disc media' format to represent ambiusonic ...
If anyone has any opinions on these things, please let me know .... I need to prioritise the next steps on ambiboots. These are the current things on my next...
hi Etienne, a thought on #3: how about adding the ability to add comments to new postings on ambisonic bootlegs? ie like flickr, myspace, livejournal, blogger...
hey Nick, ... You can already do that ... there's an 'add comment' button ... but to my knowledge, no one has ever bothered to add a comment. ie like flickr,...
All, I've just put google ads on ambisonic bootlegs.... to see how it works, how much revenue it can generate. It makes the page look kind of messy .... but I...
... Eric and I had some discussions on this early last year and I tried to interest sursound too. The most important feature of the "best" consumer compatible...
