In the Wall Street Journal today an interesting article about a recording of "Spem in Alium" by Thomas Tallis, a choral work by 40 singers and recorded on 40 individual tracks. Playback is from 40 speakers, arranged in a large oval inside New York's Cloisters Museum's stone chapel measuring perhaps 50x150 feet. The museum visitors are able to walk among the speakers (on 5-foot-tall stands) during the performance, and can hear each singer's contribution. According to the article the experience brings out strong emotions including tears and embracing.
Now, just how can I get my laptop to record 40 channels? I'm pretty sure Vegas could easily handle 40 audio tracks.
