Yeah, the aac-48 channel bit is quite cool....only ever got up to 16
channels use myself....if you're interested in surround sound I'd recommend
the surround sound mail list at:
mail.music.vt.edu/mailman/listinfo/sursound
lots of discussion, beyond surround sound as well...
www.ambisonic.net/sursound.html
has good discussions/info on ambisonics, and links to vsti's of
surround/ambisonic plugins(mostly free)
and
forum.doom9.org
has lots of info regarding tools setups etc....
Bidule (www.plogue.com) is a good modular environment(winxp & macOSX) that
supports multichannel recording.....
