Some Considerations for Spatial Design and Concert Projection with Surround 5.1
نویسنده
چکیده
This article describes the process of composing an electroacoustic music piece using a 5.1 surround sound system for studio monitoring and diffusion in a concert hall. Specific spatial ideas explored in the composition of the piece are explained in connection to the possibilities offered by this system, as well as to its limitations. Considerations are outlined regarding the quality of the spatial performance of the system in a concert hall as compared to its performance in a studio in the compositional process. Some conclusions are drawn as regards limitations and advantages of surround 5.1 systems for electroacoustic music composition and some suggestions are made for a more effective concert performance.

متن کاملJND-based spatial parameter quantization of multichannel audio signals
In multichannel spatial audio coding (SAC), the accurate representations of virtual sounds and the efficient compressions of spatial parameters are the key to perfect reproduction of spatial sound effects in 3D space. Just noticeable difference (JND) characteristics of human auditory system can be used to efficiently remove spatial perceptual redundancy in the quantization of spatial parameters...

This extended abstract outlines a proposal for an ICMC panel discussion with the intention to set on the development of a file format to create, store and share spatial audio scenes across 2D/3D audio applications and concert venues. This discussion shall include composers, sonic artists, researchers and developers in order to make such a format widely acceptable.
متن کاملMeasuring the Relationship between Perceived Image Contrast and Surround Illumination
While an image’s relative surround luminance increases from dark to light, the perceived contrast of the image will increase. For this reason, projected transparencies are made with higher physical contrast than reflection prints, which are intended to be viewed in an illuminated environment. Previous research shows that the surround effect is important for color appearance and device-independe...
