I’m trying to get my head around compositing in B-format, but this sounds a little in the research domain. (You don’t live near York, perchance?) This is not to say such a development is not interesting. It is clear that users are still defining their expectations of poly file handling.
I’m more keen to understand how often location sound which is increasingly able to be acquired and transported as a poly .wav (usually with mono and stereo components) can be placed directly into the montage environment, without having to split the poly into separate components which are then inserted individually into the montage.
It would be helpful to hear from anyone who works with a poly file-producing device, and possibly how it works with other platforms. And is the usefulness of the poly file format all it is cracked up to be?
