Listening to Spatial Audio?
Listening to Spatial Audio?
Been wondering if there's a place I can listen to Spatial Audio versions of music. Does anyone know any places that support spatial audio playback?
You're viewing a single thread.
What is spatial audio? U mean surround sound with a multi speaker setup? Or just properly utilized stereo audio?
Spatial Audio is one of the terms used for anything with height information: Binaural and Ambisonics (although these two don't always feature height), Dolby Atmos, Auro3D, MPEG-H or some experimental other formats.
Other terms that mean the same thing: 3D Audio, Immersive Audio, Surround+Height
So your question is about a physical location that has the tech to play any of these the way they were intended to?
I'm not OP, just an expert on Spatial Audio.
Headphones are able to reproduce Spatial Audio mixes, if they've been binauralized, so the place and the system aren't too relevant (if OP already set up their playback system).
So what is their question then? Did they mean "places" as in websites?
I think so?
Considering the forum, I’d say so.
Tangential question for you then, assume the spatial audio is encoded using object based techniques (such as Dolby Atmos). Per my understanding, I need to then apply a HRTF to convert the object based audio to binaural audio for playback through headphones. So which programs do you recommended for that conversion? In Windows, Mac or Linux. Thanks
