Disguising FOA Multitrack session behind an Au 5.1 project?

Hi everyone, I’ll be sincere: I’ve yet wrote a pretty similar question on the official Adobe Audition forum, but I didn’t find the answer I was searching for.
The point is: I’m going to start an ambisonic project, I’d use Adobe Audition for cleaning, balancing and reparing (healing brush) the FOA clips one by one, then I’d use Reaper for the FOA…

Hi, I run Davinci 17 on an hackintosh. I work mainly on cDNG 14-bit RAW uncompressed 2K-flat (scaling original HD to 2K flat).

Main issues I experienced with Davinci are: GPU and drive-speed.
For this reason I set my hackintosh in this way:
-CPU: old i7 EXTREME 10-core 6950X;
-MB: old Gigabyte X99P SLI (with 1x TB3);
-Ram: 64 GB;
-2 GPUs: 2x Radeon…

Hi Don. I can give you a personal opinion only about audio side. I love Audition too, and I used it a lot. Logic is not a replacement for Audition. Logic is a completely different software, much more composition-oriented. Audition, instead, has a “scientific attitude” about audio, and many great features of its waveform tab are simply uno…

Rode NT-SF1 vs Sennheiser Ambeo VR Mic

Hi everyone,

somebody has any experience about these two mics? Which is the most durable between the two?

I had a bad experience buying an NT-SF1 with a damaged capsule (noise signal was WAY louder than the other capsules, and after tried unscrewing/rescrewing the problem gets worst being now always at 0dB with a huge hum!)
I initially chose NT-SF1…

Carissimo Luca,

thanks so much for Your kind reply. Your post is an appreciated confirmation of the decision I took very-few days ago: I finally bought the Rode NT-SF1. As You wrote, ambisonic «can ease some of the burden of creating a basic environment.» I completely agree.
So, I’ll test the mic in these days and I’ll see.

Thanks so much.

Cheers,

Adriano

Dear Mr. Ford, many thanks for Your kind reply.

Just a question: let say I’d start with an ambient recording in order to use that as a simple sound “base” for a scene, and over that “base” I’d add some mono-foley-sounds for the “main” objects in the scene. Now, moving a mono-sound in a 5.1 space is not so-difficult, but my question is about the ”…

Ambisonic vs scratch for the ambience-layer of a 5.1-film?

Hi everyone and happy new year. I’m a newbie and I’d need some tips about “ambience”. I’m currently working on a personal project that’s a narrative film with 5.1 audio. Being mostly self-taught, I tried to figure out which could be a schematic layers-partition for the audio, and I imagine it’s roughly Dialogue, Music, Ambience and SFX (in whi…
