Solutions will come, but for now, this clumsiness is par for the course. There are also tools for syncing your DAW with a VR video player, although this is a clumsy way to work because you can’t see both your DAW’s controls and the scene you’re working on at the same time, and when viewing the VR scene, there’s no guarantee you’ll even be facing your workstation. This support allows you to create a multi-channel Ambisonics mix while monitoring via stereo headphones and allows the listening direction to be modified, either by an HMD or via onscreen controls. Most mainstream DAWs support Ambisonics either natively ( Pro Tools, Nuendo and Cubase, for example) or via plug-ins such as the Waves B360 Ambisonics Encoder. Good examples of these include the Sennheiser Ambeo, NT-SF1 (and Soundfield app) by RØDE, Core Sound’s TetraMic and the Zoom H3-VR. There are actually quite a few Ambisonic microphones on the market now, and custom-built rigs of omni- and bi-directional mics are also common. With mid-side, the mid channel carries a collective signal of the sound at the listening position, while the side channel carries left-right positional offset information in an Ambisonics system, three side channels are employed to capture positional information in all three dimensions (‘higher order’ Ambisonics use more side channels for greater positional accuracy).Īnd because Ambisonics captures a full-sphere sound field, it’s possible for the apparent listening position within this field to be modified by, in effect, rotating the sphere – just what’s needed for VR! Similarly, when mixing for VR, Ambisonics panners allow you to position non-Ambisonic parts within the 3D sound field, in much the same way as a stereo panner lets you set the left-right position of a mono part within a stereo sound field. Ambisonics is a full-sphere surround-sound format, and works on much the same principles as mid-side stereo.
