The Hindenburg Syndrome

[Mallette]

Gents, won't get into the airship thing as I spent much of the 90s being educated by engineers of the Zeppelin works, survivors (now gone) of the Hindenburg ground crew at Lakehurst, and a number of others on a rather niche group of airship aficionados. We were visited and our experts queried by an unidentified DOD guy about the time the BBDs started showing up as we knew what they were. The history books are seriously wrong. As to the Akron, Macron, and Shenandoah, all operator error the Germans simply couldn't believe. The Navy was too arrogant to ask the Germans how to fly the things.

 

Anyway, Gil, I have asked and asked all over about a method of discrete binding of multichannel files as per wav or other standard stereo binding and nobody reveals. As mentioned above I have managed to get Audacity to do this in FLAC, but can't find anything but Audacity that will load anything but the front L and R files from it, though Audacity loads it fine. 

 

Extremely frustrating.  I am taking SoundCube to Hope just to give people something to look at that does for surround what 2 mike coincidental (think the great Living Presence recordings and such) did for stereo.  Personally, I think the thing is self-explanatory when seen.  I'd rather let people HEAR it but don't have the room to bring 4 matched speakers and such.  I may make an ambient recording just for grins as the Roland recorder doesn't take up any space.

I am surprised no one has developed an audio card/box using displayport technology. I has a lot higher bandwidth and throughput than HDMI, and, being developed by the VESA group, is royalty free. It also has the option of 8-channel audio with sampling rates up to 24 bit 192 kHz, encapsulation of audio compression formats. Handles a lot higher resolutions for video, too.

 

This is also what Apple calls their Lightning Port.
