That does not sound like it will end well.

That said, LCC is only concerned in solving psychoacoustic playback issues for loudspeakers.

Actually, we've been using Resonance Audio to convert fully spatialized sound in game engines to binaural and then pumping that through LCC. That seems to work well as a pipeline.

Rob and I going back-and-forth. :)

Not sure we tried this with channel-based audio though...

Prerecorded material not recorded binaurally is not binaural content. I am a purest though. Note: LCC enables all loudspeaker listening experiences to be experienced binaurally, in the free field, acoustically speaking, regardless of the content (unless it is mono content).

Surely you could simulate a theater with N speakers, then convert that to binaural. It would be nice if Blu-ray had spatial audio, but it has channels, so I work with what I got.

Thanks for the pointer. I'll try out using channeled audio in resonance. I don't expect magic, but it will be interesting to see.
