Multi Channel Sound

In the Digital Bauhaus Lab (DBL) you would be able to work with a multi channel sound system, the work station uses an audio interface "Fireface 800" and Totalmix FX software for mixing and recording.

The following tutorial will explain you how the hardware is setup and a quick introduction to the software and possible ways that you could expand the capacity of the multi channel sound-card.


Types of Multi Channel Audio

There are three different types of speakers arrangements: first the most common one the stereophonic sound or two channel audio, surround sound or more than two channels and ambisonics or full sphere surround sound.

In this tutorial we only are going to cover briefly the surround sound arrangement.
