So they are. We’re better able to localise sounds in the horizontal plane if you prefer, though because of the shape of our ears/pinnae and so on, we can also detect to some extent whether they are above or below/in front of or be

Yeah you’d need the multitrack original recordings to do a good job I’d say. There are tricks with eg. phase cancellation/spectral filtering and so on I suppose you could use to try and hack something together, but the results would va

There’s been some wonderful recordings that were designed solely/primarily for mono playback (early Motown/rock n roll/blues for example) that IMHO actually kind of benefit somehow from lack of stereo separation. If mixed wel

Indeed - depends on the material/scope/playback quality of the track/characteristics of the compression method I guess… On the other hand, if you were to record/encode each member of a symphony orchestra separately and p

This article does an okay job of explaining the idea: https://appleinsider.com/articles/21/05/18/apples-spatial-au... Apparently the sound source positions will be calculated relative to the position of

If you can remember any further info. about this I’d be very interested.

You’re absolutely right that the most effective simulation would use a custom HRTF for each person, as the shape of the head, shoulders, pinnae of the ear etc etc. all play some part... There are some headphones that attempt to go some way

Spatial audio per se is not a scam, but its effective simulation is actually potentially rather complicated and I too worry about its successful implementation by Apple… Funnily enough, I had plans for a system to implement spatial audio u

Thanks cgio! The history of languages is fascinating: how they evolve, adapt and borrow from/influence each other… You’ve sent me down a rabbit-hole now reading about Byzantine/Koine Greek: https://en.m.wikipedia.org&#x

My greek relatives would say eg. ‘heh-re-tiz-moose/chairetizmoos apo teen yaya soo’ (…trying to spell it there as it sounds, sort of…), meaning roughly: ‘(sending my) respects/greetings to your grandmother’, I’m wondering if it’s

Not at all! I’m obviously not qualified to say, but it seems to me to be a great overview of a very complicated topic - clear, concise, comprehensive and not patronising. Stuff I don’t understand off the bat I can always look up, but it giv

The oracle at Delphi would beg to differ! ;) I take your point though, sort of… It’s maybe worth pointing out that we only know about Socrates from secondary sources: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/I_know_that_I_know_

I agree - it’s kind of lazily framed/worded. A.I. is a vast field after all?

They pay a hefty license if they choose to use third party middleware/engines. Perhaps CD Projekt Red are in danger of having features cloned etc.

I’ve recently been trying to translate a book my dad wrote from modern (‘demotic’) Greek into English. It’s a very slow process for me, as English is my first language and my Greek is very poor. I have to constantly look up a lot of words a

Too right. What’s the alternative? Living in a stagnant dictatorship governed by caprice and b llsh t? Making sure your citizens remain ignorant and downtrodden? Jefferson is undeniably problematic by our standards and judged by the standar

Jefferson really did write beautifully. I’m not a US citizen, but I do find his writing to be very uplifting and inspiring.
