That L-ISA solves many issues , very nice , object based very very nice . Back in the day I used the Edison to create spatialization especially in the rears of a quad setup . Sometimes one for fronts , one for rears . Mostly one on the front in a stereo setup . Before I got an Atmos decoder I used the Edison in my 5.1 rear surrounds when listening to stock stereo recordings to create pseudo immersion by ducking all the in phase so just the L - R stereo content was heard in the rear . That kept the vocals up front . Thanks for your hard work bringing these videos to the masses !
Live sound reinforcement getting better and better with this kind of immersive technology. L-ISA from LAcoustic, En-Scene from d&B, Spacemap Go really bring us another level of live sound mixing.
Very interesting - that L-ISA could be useful, not just for live sound. Everywhere, when there are more than one listener beside each other, we will run into this problem (like when watching clips/movies or music sitting in a couch). Only one listener (or listeners standing/sitting in a line behind/in front of each other) will actually get a good immersive stereo sound (for the others, everything will just sound unnatural and skewed to one side). It's pretty much impossible to counteract this acoustically on the recording and still keep a clear stereo image, where you can hear every sound source. You can add randomness, but this will not cut it (as mentioned in the video - this will motsly sound like all sound sources are everywhere). Our whole perception of stereo works by the waveform being (at least mostly) correlated - where our brains "read" the differences between the left and right ear. But since this is also mostly a problem with multiple listeners, it's great to keep recordnings pure (to give the best experience to single listeners and headphone users), then apply this filtering to the playback when needed (with multiple listeners listening to the same speaker setup)
