To hopefully help remedy this situation, I’ve created a number of VST Plugins that can be used in many Digital Audio Workstations (DAWs). I may put instructions on how to use them up here at some point, but in the meantime, tutorials can be found on the Ambisonics Music Creation grou.ps website that I’ve created to help support some of my teaching here at the University of Derby. The plug-ins are available for Mac and PC, and can be downloaded below. The plugins are free to use for personal and educational use. If you’re using them for commercial work, please contact me, as it’s nice to know when and how my software is being used (a credit would also be nice, and donations are always welcome!) 1st Order WigWare Mac (These have now been updated to work on Mac OSX 10.4 and 10.5) AmbiX v0.1 – Ambisonic plug-in suite.
