Is it only possible to use 1st order ambisonics files with FMOD? We just did a quick test with the Resonance, and it only seemed to work correctly with a 1st order file

Hi,

Currently Resonance only supports 1st order ambisonics - 2nd and 3rd order ambisonics are planned to be implemented, but have not been scheduled yet.

Alright, thank you. 2nd and 3rd order would definitely make ambisonics much more useable, so crossing my fingers!
