Capturing sound from speakers with microphones

Hello, I’m new to Spat and currently experimenting with feedback. I’d like to capture the sound from each speaker in the system using a microphone.

Am I heading in the right direction with this approach? Or would it be more appropriate to use the same source sent to each speaker and process it with reverberation instead?

If there are any Spat objects or methods that are particularly relevant for this kind of experiment, I’d appreciate your suggestions.


Hello hamtanid,

Sorry for the very late reply.
Well, this is one possible approach. However, Spat currently does not have any objects or methods for handling this type of feedback scenario (for example, there is no tool for automatically controlling feedback/larsen).
So it’s up to you to create your own feedback system!
Please be aware that the microphones in spat5.viewer are only for visualisation purpose; at the moment, they dont have any effect on signal processing objects.

Good luck with your experiment !
T.
