Hi Rex
I found this after an exhausting browse of your ca 120 apps & 90 vids. What a magnificent Magnum Opus
I sincerely hope that your work finds its way to a Sticky of the big time. IMHO what you have created starting (10 years go?) is a comprehensive set of building blocks for the dawn of the DAW era. Each of the small apps is a brick to build groundwork and experience. Sadly, most of the "unSound Designer" kit on offer is deliberately overhyped and shrouded in magical mystery to keep naive users in ignorance whilst charging $$$$$ for access to public domain techniques.
One wastes so much time trying to browse thru all the glitzy clap trap just to get to the nub of a basic effect.
So I am fully on board with your mission. It will take me a year to try out all your works I expect. So much gold in them thar Apps to be dug out.
One question I posed on your latest YT (2wks)
One thing that puzzled me for many years is how ineffectual a 5.1 system was at playing a std stereo CD. I concluded that 5.1 was a massive con trick to sell $$$ home theatre systems. These are fine if using a proper Source (blu ray?) with Dolby DTS or THX type coding. You will get all the theatre SFX etc - otherwise a waste of money. Whats your take?
I thought with all these super building blocks, one could come up with a truly immersive sound for a room . That was the aim of the Quadrophonic systems of the 70's. It failed cos the technology was not available to process 4 independent channels and code them onto a CD.
Stupid boy Pike says why not have two stereo channels (directed to front and rear). Kitwise its not challenging is it? AFAIK a PC can USB output two separate stereo channels.
I havent tried this yet but someone must be there already? Pls advs
