    The Mic editor allows me to create a simulation of a Decca tree i.e 2 omnidirectional microphones spaced 2m apart and a third centred 1m in front of the pair. I have routed them in the matrix L R and C I cannot perceive any of the stereo information in this simulation that would be present in a physical recording set up of this type. Is there a flaw in the model? Thanks Mic

    Maybe this could help,

    Here's a response I got from Dietz to a similar question:

    @Another User said:

    Question: What would be the output presets to recreate a typical Decca Tree recoding?

    Like I just wrote in a mail to a fellow Beta Tester:

    A Decca tree arrangement is made of non-coincident (spaced) microphones. MIR on the other hand is founded completely on Ambisonics, a highly advanced meta-format which relies on the purest form of a four-capsule coincident microphone array. MIR wouldn't work the way it does without Ambisonics. A real Decca tree can't be realized therefore. But you can come close by using a nearby position for the Secondary Microphone.

    Just in case you're interested: This is a nice Ambisonics primer text: -> http://www.york.ac.uk/inst/mustech/3d_audio/ambis2.htm
