Dear colleagues,

a few weeks ago I posted here and got some response on OCT surround.

Now while listening to my experimental recording (Händel Oratorio
"Jephta" in a large church with good reverb) I am a bit helpless in how
to determine how much output to send to each channel, especially with
respect to the sides and centre. I started off normalizing each track in
the software so what now? Any rules of thumb or other fingers? Or anyone
setting up playback with test signals?

So far I am somewhat impressed how much is actually coming from behind
and definitely like it, even in a truely non-ideal playback situation...

In case anyone's interested: I used a Neumann KM140 as centre, two AKG
C480/CK63 as sides and two KM140 as rears, looking back in parallel. The
rears about 1 metre, the CK63 less apart. As a reference and at the same
time for some low end support for the sides I mounted two Neumann KM130
as closely as possible to the CK63 and put them in the mix with a high
pass of 100Hz, definitely a positive sensation.
