Comment What do they think they are doing? (Score 1) 18

I sympathize with the desperation, but what do they think they are doing if not training their replacements? The companies arent employing them out of the goodness of their hearts. A reduction in entry level jobs and then presumably a precipitous decline later on in their careers if they are successful/good at the training?

interestingly from the wikipedia article:

Since its adoption by Google and other manufacturers as the audio format of choice for virtual reality, Ambisonics has seen a surge of interest. In 2018, Sennheiser released its VR microphone and Zoom released an Ambisonics Field Recorder. Both are implementations of the tetrahedral microphone design which produces first order Ambisonics. A number of companies are currently conducting research in Ambisonics: BBC Technicolor Research and Innovation/Thomson Licensing /Dolby Laboratories have expressed "interest" in Ambisonics by acquiring (and liquidating) Barcelona-based Ambisonics specialist imm sound prior to launching Dolby Atmos, which, although its precise workings are undisclosed, does implement decoupling between source direction and actual loudspeaker positions. Atmos takes a fundamentally different approach in that it does not attempt to transmit a sound field; it transmits discrete premixes or stems (i.e., raw streams of sound data) along with metadata about what location and direction they should appear to be coming from. The stems are then decoded, mixed, and rendered in real time using whatever loudspeakers are available at the playback location.
