Yes. We're talking about the same thing.
Only a few angles worked in terms of enhancing the sense of envelopment (or in other words, adding information that was lacking).
The full information of venue acoustics will not be in the recordings. Such recordings would sound too muddy. Reverbs comes from all around the listeners by way of reflection of the original sound. They differ based on the point where the reflection takes place and I have not seen any one angles IR similar to another. perhaps, in a perfect hall that should be the case. so envelopment is something you do to recreate a venue matching the genre you are playing. The recordings could have been made in Sydney Opera house but what I try to reproduce with the IRs is for the recording to sound like playing in a concert hall with reverbs trails extending 2s or so. I only have St Cecilia impulse response so it may not sound like listening in Sydney Opera but at least some sense of “ We are there” in a concert hall.
Same story as above: the purpose was to enhance the sound in all directions, adding information about each angle, position, etc. And I already succeeded in my own way (from the length of the ear canal to more than 10 meters, all at the same time).
Wow! I hope you could make that available commercially.
Not sure about that. A balloon burst in an anechoic chamber would sound just like a click. And with DCH, I use the click to sound like the balloon bursting in a concert hall or in room. The original click is left untouched. I don’t even use XTC for this demo as the burst supposed to come from one speaker only.As I mentioned before, the gap between an anechoic chamber-like condition and a normal room, except for the characteristics of the initial reflections and the spatial perception, was very small.
As I said before, even after XTC, there is still a very slight sense of what kind of space this is due to the initial reflections, but it's vague, so after that, you can overlay different angles of true stereo IR or personalized binaural IR or real BRIR (which is what I do) at different distances and different angles and play them back simultaneously.
This is too deep for me.
And because I'm using headphones or IEMs to play XTC, you might think it's a slightly different kind of thing, but it's really just BacchHP and C_Bacch's workflow.
Headphones/iem already without any crosstalk so by adding cancellation you are probably adding cross feed. I think I read in the forum some use that to create out of head or frontal perception. Anyway, this is a topic I am not familiar with. I hardly use iem except for testing occasionally.
Cheers!
