Now you can see in a wink in which recording format the sounds you're browsing on Surround Library are !

How does it work? Simple, each recording format (say B-Format, Double-M/S, MMAD, or IRT) has its own waverform color, so you can see instantly in what format the sound has been recorded in.

Here's how we did it.
