Multi-Point Live Mix

Brian Lamb, Abject, Nov 29, 2011

I'm not exactly sure how this works. But it's too good not to share. Take an ordinary webcasting environment, and set it up so multiple streams run concurrently off of the same server and IP address. "With multiple streams, the listener becomes a mixer as well, conceivably able to spin out yet more streams — which is where I see some real potential for future experimentation. I kept the streams more or less distinct, but you can also check out a more integrated mix." You might ask, why would anyone do that. But it's about allowing the listener to define the focus, the way Lytro's light-field camera captures all the light in an environment, allowing the viewer to focus the photo after the fact. Call Grant Potter's invention "sound-field audio," I guess.
