Audio Brewers releases 'ab Transcoder' - Converts A-Format Ambisonics recordings to B-Format
Audio Brewers has announced the release of ab Transcoder, a plugin that can convert Ambisonics audio files from one format to another.
The plugin is suitable for users who have recorded audio using 1st Order A-Format microphones such as the RODE SoundField, Sennheiser Ambeo, Zoom H3-VR, among others.
Here's what they say:
ab Transcoder eliminates the need for multiple plugins from various manufacturers. ab Transcoder is designed to be operated quickly: To use the plugin, users simply select their Signal type INPUT and the desired OUTPUT. 'ab Transcoder' handles the rest, in a straightforward operation.
Additionally, the tool provides a Mic Orientation control feature, for instances where the microphone might have been sideways or upside down during recording. ab Transcoder is equipped to convert any A-Format (types I or II), FUMA, or AMBIX signals to either AMBIX or FUMA.
The plugin exclusively supports 1st Order Ambisonics A-Format and B-Format signals. Moreover, it comes with a 'smart troubleshooting' algorithm that examines the signal chain and notifies users of any issues.
ab Transcoder comes as AAX, VST3 and AU and is compatible with both Windows and Mac (Intel and Silicon).
Price: 5,00€.
