Surround Sound in Ableton Live

Discuss music production with Ableton Live.

Does Live 9 need (intuitive) surround sound support?

I want it for 5.1 film surround sound mixing.

I haven't felt the need for it yet, but I'll surely give it a try.

I'd rather have Ableton implement other features.

There's better software to do this.

Hello shadx312,

i have used the acousmodule plugi-in before with audiomulch and the works well.

The ambipanner I have referenced to works on a slightly different principle and coded to be used with a 4 speakers rig (4 speakers placed in the 4 corners of a square.
It creates a more organic representation of a soundfield.

With some changes in teh code it can be then used for different type of speakers configuration including typical dolby surround speakers arrangements...but this need additional work.

There are ambisonic decoders coded in Max, one example: http://www.grahamwakefield.net/soft/ambi~/index.htm
but I am not sure if they will work for live...

Probably this is something can be discussed on the M4L section?
Just to bring to the attention of the more experienced people on M4L programming.

Let's keep the discussion open!!

:D
