RE: surround looping revisited

["Hartung, Kris" <kris.hartung@hp.com>]

Pretty cool, Rainer. It would be fun to setup a surround sound, live
system one day. I would probably buy two wireless speakers and put them
in the back of the room. I too have the creative labs surround
capability on my soundcard. Can you explain what surround effect you are
using? Are you taking advantage of the other set of stereo images and
running different signals/effects to them, or just running a dual stereo
system?  For instance, how would you setup a four way ping pong delay?

Subject: surround looping revisited

It's done!

Today, I set up my first surround looping setup, based on some of the
valuable opinions in this forum. About the setup:

Hardware:
        PC w/ ADAT Interface
        Behringer ADA8000 ADAT I/O (8 Mic/Line Ins, 8 Outs)
        Creative Labs pseudo-surround speaker setup :-)
        various (4) mikes (AT, SP, Beyer)

Software:
        AudioMulch
        Ellotronix looper (2)
        various AcousModules
        BuzzComp (4) (as kind of automatic gain control)

And the following two axioms:

        (1) No feedback internal to the electronic setup (i.e. only
feedback speaker -> microphone)
        (2) No signals fed from inputs to outputs which aren't run
through the delay lines


Short description: a 21st century interactive Alvin Lucier setup! I'm
still fine-tuning as well as expanding this approach, so again here come
more questions:

  * Does anyone know of a (if possible free or cheap) feedback destroyer
as a VST plugin? I'm thinking of basically a software version of the
Sabine/Shure/Behringer hardware units used for live sound applications.

  * Is there a nice interface to send ASIO connections via a network
connection (without using Steinberg Nuendo that is)?


Thanks for your input!
