Python

Reproducible Python pipeline for the AES Convention 160 Express Paper "Zylia ZM-1 vs. Harpex Spcmic: A Case Study of Higher-Order Ambisonic Recording Performance" (Express Paper #51, Copenhagen 2026). Reads B-format WAV files, computes spectral, loudness, spatial-energy, and directional metrics, and emits LaTeX \newcommand macros consumed directly by the manuscript.

This Python script generates an energy visualization video from an Ambisonic (ACN/SN3D) WAV file using precomputed k-NN inverse-distance weighting (IDW) onto a regular 2D grid, multiprocessing for per-frame computation, and direct ffmpeg streaming for efficient encoding.
