Using MC for Spatialization

One of the applications for which MC is especially adept is working with multi-speaker systems and spatialization. Multichannel source material can be transported to objects and manipulated as a single unit, greatly reducing the amount of patching required to work with large sets of audio routings and outputs.

MC Spatialization Objects

In addition to the mc.* and mcs.* objects that perform multichannel audio manipulation, objects that are particularly useful for spatialization include:

• mc.dac~
• mc.adc~
• mc.plugin~
• mc.plugout~
• mc.combine~
• mc.separate~
• mc.interleave~
• mc.deinterleave~
• mc.transpose~
• mc.mixdown~
