With the Sonic Presence SP15 microphone, high-quality sound recordings can be made without effort: you always have the microphone with you, you don't need a tripod, your smartphone serves as a recorder. It captures the sound impression at the position of the listener in a credible way. A review.
Almost 10 years of wow&flutter removal with Celemony's Capstan! Time to reflect on its history and compare it to the newest offering by Izotope. Audio files included.
I did the sound mixing for this concert video with very unusual music. DUO2KW with Klaus-Peter Werani, viola, and Kai Wangler, accordion, have produced their corona-canceled concert in the schweres reiter for the online stream and address the audience directly in the stream with the composers. Compositions by Morton Feldman, Sidney Corbett, Harald Lillmeyer, Stefan Prins and Philipp Mayer (UA) can be heard and seen. An arc is drawn from the "New York School" (Morton Feldman) to contemporary composition with various forms of electronics and playback (Prins and Mayer).
Ambiophonics is a less obscure matter than I thought. At first I thought it was just one of the usual phasiness causing improvements for the worse in the sense of pseudo-stereo, but the technique has real potential. Especially for installations, for example.

While researching transducers I found the cheap products like Visaton etc., some new companies in the mid range and a new higher end company name Revolution Acoustics. To get an idea how those high end and mid range models perform, I bought them and made a test (I ruled out the cheap ones immediately). I would have loved to find a video like this on the internet while doing my research, so I decided to make one.
In my operas JETZT and HAPPY HAPPY I composed myself into the opera as a sound director, following a few basic thoughts on the subject of classical singing:
