Soundpool surround encoder

[Foxxy74]

Has somebody ever tried this program?

http://atari.soundpool.de/sr_id.htm

Any info is appreciated. Would be awesome to have a demo in 5.1 surround.

I never try it but I never hear for it.
It looks like that there is much more Falcon software then I was aware of...
Thanks for link!

[Foxxy74]

Probably the Falcon was way ahead of its time, making Surround Sound possible in the early days.. Though never heared anyone mention that, almost nothing to read about it, and most important, NEVER heared Any surround music made with that program.
So basically, any info is more then welcome.

Interesting article.. So it is software only? Or do i misread the article.. Sp Dif is all you need? Or ADAT. So far i havent heared Any musician familiair with it, Or Any topic in a forum describing it.

It is software only, however as with all Soundpool software it will either need a dongle or the original floppy disk inserted when starting the software.

Here is the demo version of the Soundpool surround encoder:

Thank you very much, dbsys, a demo is better than having nothing.
Someday we will collect all that collection of SoundPool software.

Cool.

Is there any text about SoundPool company history? Was SoundPool Atari only related company? ...

[Foxxy74]

Thnxs both! I will try them tomorrow!

Good question though about Soundpool.. I always thought they were into Mac also, but cant find anything about it.

[Atari74user]

SoundPool were by and large an Atari only company. However some of their products were universal, such as their Sample Rate Converters, Sync Boxes etc... found at the bottom of the page: http://atari.soundpool.de/prod_e.htm. What I don't remember was their Mac and PC PCI cards, but they are listed on the same page. Of course they also did the SoundPool Audio Workstation which I think, if memory serves came as a standalone rack, or as simply a re-cased Falcon. So 90% of their focus was Atari, but they had a few 'fringe' products.

SoundPool is another vital organ for the Atari musicians, as well as Hybrid Arts, Steinberg, C-Lab (eMagic), etc.

They are pieces of the past that I am rescuing from the floppy disks that circulated when we had many illusions and little money.
Try them.

The program you were looking for is linked here:

It's the demo version, though.

Anyone knows if Emmesoft still exists?

http://www.emmesoft.com/atari/soft.htm

They seem to list a surround encoder plug in for Wavemaster.. Never heared of that one also.

I didnt get a reply anyways..

[Foxxy74]

Here is btw a nice topic about an Atari Jaguar game, that seems encoded in dolby surround. With a 5.1 decoder it is 5.1 surround, according to this topic.

Were these games developed on a Falcon?

[Foxxy74]

The game they are referring to, is Iron Soldier 2.
