Stereo audio has been around for a long time now, with your traditional left and right outputs. This, in itself, creates a much more immersive experience to any listener than a simple mono setup, where all drivers are sending out the same audio signal. That being said, over the past couple years I have seen an increase in “spatial” or “multi-dimensional” audio. At first, a lot of these “multi-dimensional” branded audio clips, usually popular songs, just panned the audio to make it seem like it was moving around you, but over time, people have gotten more creative with how they curate these clips. Also, with binaural microphones becoming more readily available, these audio clips can be captured without any fancy editing techniques. That being said, L-acoustic’s new software suite seems to make this editing process much simpler and easier for creating true spatial audio experiences. I always find it interesting how new algorithmic engines can be built to aid in the creation of anything, in this case, spatial audio. I would be interested to hear a sample of a clip before and after processing with this new audio engine.
