Workshop 2: 3:00pm

Peter Van Zandt Lane
A Crash Course in 3D Audio

SPLICE Festival IV is supported by a State-of-the-Art Conference Grant from the Office of the Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs and Provost.

Notes

A Crash Course in 3D Audio User-friendly tools for mixing in Ambisonics formats have rapidly developed in recent years, largely due to their practical use in 360° video and VR applications and the embracing of Ambisonics audio formats for 360° video streaming by companies like Facebook and YouTube. These tools allow musicians to mix audio for 3D immersive audio environments or interactive media, and have significant creative potential for live performance and unique ways of disseminating recordings. This workshop is recommended for those with some experience mixing multi-channel projects in DAWs; no prior experience or familiarity with Ambisonics is necessary.
