Headphoneus Supremus
If Smyth didn't/doesn't change the plans you can combine virtual speakers from different PRIRs and BRIRs into one preset.(I think I've asked similar questions before, but you know...the passage of years...)
The only thing I'm curious of is how the A16 handles Atmos if you've only recorded a 7.1 setup. Does it add its own virtual speakers to fill the gaps? And similarly, instead of having to record all of the speakers again for Atmos, will I be able to copy my original 7.1 capture and then just start recording the extra surrounds? I'm assuming the answer is "yes" to both, but who knows now.
So you can make seperate PRIRs for
-your basic 5.1 setup
-the extra speakers for 9.1 (just turn yor chair 180 degrees: fronts at 30 degrees will be surround backs at 150 degrees, surrounds at 120 degrees will be wides at 60 degrees)
-maybe also alternative surround speakers at 90 degrees (optimal for 7.1 and 9.1, while surrounds at 120 degrees are better for 5.1)
-height speakers for Atmos
-height speakers for Auro 3D
Then you can make several presets for the different formats, and in each preset you combine the appropriate speakers that you pick from different PRIRs (And if you didn't measure for example height speakers yet you can pick those from one of the non-personalised BRIRs that come standard with the A16.)
And all those presets can somehow be organised in virtual sound rooms etc.
