Mike Hatch from Floating Earth Records with the A-Type 8

Mike Hatch from Floating Earth kindly allowed me to show these beautiful recordings he made with just the Reynolds A-Type 8 second order ambisonic microphone.

No processing has been applied aside from conversion from the eight raw A-Format signals to B-Format ambisonics using the Atmoky Encoder VST plugin with the Bass and Air settings engaged, essentially giving a little boost below 40Hz and above 13KHz.

The second-order nine-channel B-Format has then been rendered to binaural (so make sure you listen/watch with your headphones on) using the Sparta ambiBin VST set to MagLS with the Sadie ii KU100 SOFA file at 48KHz 24Bit.

Hopefully Youtube has preserved the audio quality but if you would like to hear the files in your own DAW (Reaper is recommended) you can download the A-Formats, a couple of binaural renders and the Atmoky Encoder VST here:
