Having considered Environmental Audio as a concept for performing some time ago (but only recently being able to afford moving into that area, hehehe) I returned to those thoughts as a combination of Dennis' query, and perusing the back panel of the Mackie 1202-VLZ I got last week... There are the Main Outs, but there are also the Alt 3/4 outputs as well... What about this idea, then? Such that one has four outputs for four distinct channels, match this with a quartet of reverb/effects units for each. It's not surround, but it can be encoded for it a lot easier than a 3D-style two-channel recording, one would think. As far as a performance device, I suppose this works a lot better... but as a pre-encoding process, what about that, O Audio Engineers Amongst Us? There's got to be an easier way than buying into pioneering, bleeding-edge stuff that also costs an arm and leg... As far as output, I'm going to be investigating the digital outputs from the SBLive MP3 card I've got, not only the S/PDIFs but the one reserved for "Digital Output," which usually goes to a set of Surround-based speakers like a Soundcraft or something similar. I'm sure there's something similar on the Layla/etc cards too... Hmm? Stephen Goodman EarthLight Productions * http://www.earthlight.net > I've been experimenting with four-channel looping.
