I am curious how much need there is for 5.1 ambience libraries of different locations. Are sound designers / editors looking for 5.1 recordings, or is it more practical to build 5.1 atmospheres from different stereo recordings, and "faking it".
In which scenarios are those actual 5.1 recordings really needed? Game audio? Documentaries? TV?
Just curious since i see some libraries offering 5.1 stuff and was wondering who actually needs this...
