Mexico border recording in Max8 release

Senita Basin

An ambisonic recording I made at Senita Basin, just 4 miles north of the US-Mexico border ( 31°57’2.90″N, 112°51’42.09″W) is included in the Cycling74 Max8 software release to showcase the new multichannel audio systems.

As Max8 does not include ambisonic decoders as standard, the file was rendered as an 8 channel horizontal surround file. Several ambisonic option are available for Max such as the HOA Library, ICST Tools, and a host of excellent plugins such as those by Blue Ripple Sound

It is great that our ongoing work in documenting the acoustic ecologies of these contested lands is finding a new voice on the computers of thousands of people world wide.

Listen to hundreds of hours of field recordings of the US SW deserts for free online.

Just check the mc.sfplay~ help file and click the senita-8ch file . Thanks to Cycling74 for their support of our work.
