I've even mentioned to him that I'd prefer iLok to the current scheme and I have so far avoided iLok like the plague! I've been in touch with Richard Furse (Blue Ripple plugin creator) about this issue but he seems very reluctant to change this. There is one BIG thing I don't like about the Blue Ripple plugins though and that is the requirement to connect to their license server every few weeks to keep the licenses running. The Blue Ripple plugins are by far the most effective, efficient and reliable Ambisonic tools I've used and I've tried pretty much everything I can run on Windows in REAPER. I have their upmixers and decoders and also the free core plugins. My primary Ambisonic tools right now are from Blue Ripple Sound. It would probably be quite a big undertaking but I'd be willing to help out wherever possible and hopefully learn a lot more about JSFX coding along the way. I am considering contacting Trond again to see if he's interested (and has time) to work on third order AmbiX SN3D versions of the ATK. I'm not using the ATK at present mainly because I am now working in third order Ambisonics and the ATK is first order at present. I have all of those videos from Trond and have been in touch with him regarding some of the things in the ATK beta releases. The album has been a work in progress now for a year and a half and is my most ambitious project in 35 years.

Trond Lossius - Encoding with ATK for ReaperĬheers for the thumbs up on the mix adXok. Here are some of the best introduction tutorials about 'ATK for Reaper':

I thought the military were coming to get me in my house like bin Laden. I wasn't very satisfied with the difference between that and the normal Stereo-mix of the album. It came with a second disc that has been mastered as a 'KLANG 3D' in-ear mixing. Recently I bought Tesseract's new album 'Sonder'. Well, it is not if you have no idea about what is the difference between headphone channel separation and binaural audio (which tries to emulate cross-feed between those channels in order to feel like there are no headphones on your ears. For the standard stereo mixes I use the Dolby Headphone plugin in Foobar and it makes my brain feel comfortable: Please, do yourselves a favour and use it as well. I listen and mix 99% of the time on headphones.

Only those interested in it will find it suitable. No need for me to try and explain to you what it is all about. ~you'll need this if you listen and mix on a set of the listed headphones in that plugin! Sonarworks Reference 4 headphone match and correction simulator
