🎧 𝐕𝐢𝐝𝐞𝐨 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐛𝐢𝐧𝐚𝐮𝐫𝐚𝐥 𝐬𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝! I’ve been testing spatial audio and general audio quality across most available options in Unity (also applicable to FMOD and Wwise), and honestly, the results were surprising—lots of coloration and switching artifacts. But don’t take my word for it—have a listen for yourself. 👇 What you’re hearing: 👂 Binaural audio using dry HRTFs (no reverb). 👂 The source signal is white noise—continuous and broadband, making it ideal for hearing even subtle alterations. 👂 The sound source moves along a half-circle, from the right ear to the left ear. 👂 Signals were rendered in Unity and played back in Reaper for comparison using our A/B conversion plugin. 👂 Solutions other than atmoky are anonymized. 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐝𝐨 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐫? Any artifacts? Switching issues? Alterations in tonal quality? Let me know your thoughts—what stands out to you? 🚨 Why does this matter? If audio quality plays a role in your immersive audio productions, atmoky trueSpatial should absolutely be on your radar. Whether you’re working in #Unity, Firelight Technologies #FMOD, or Audiokinetic #Wwise, it’s the go-to solution for crystal-clear, seamless spatial audio. In the next example, I’ll showcase a more natural signal and dive deeper into spatial attributes like direction, mapping, and continuity of spatialized sound. 📢 If you find this helpful, please help spread the word! Hopefully quality speaks for itself. #spatialaudio #gameaudio

A few weeks ago, I met Clemens Amon who demoed what his company, atmoky, has been building - essentially, the future of spatial audio. The demo was awesome - using an iPad I navigated around a virtual room and visited different audio stations to experience sound in different contexts. Fortunately, I found a video of this same demo which makes up for my poor description of the experience (make sure you have the sound on) 🔊 . Atmoky's mission is to ‘bring the magic of human hearing to the digital world, creating more immersive and engaging experiences’. Last night I attended the Immersive Audio Podcast produced by 1.618 DIGITAL, where Atmoky took everyone through the workflow in Unity which was great to see. If you're interested, they offer a range of tools and SDKs to enhance the audio experience in games, virtual reality, and web applications I’d recommend keeping an 'ear' out for these guys (pun intended) 👂 #spatialcomputing

🫣 𝐒𝐧𝐞𝐚𝐤 𝐏𝐞𝐞𝐤: 𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐞𝐒𝐩𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐖𝐰𝐢𝐬𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐚𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐫𝐧𝐞𝐫! I’ve seen it (and it looks incredible—kudos to Daniel Rudrich) and heard it (sounding amazing by default 😉). I couldn’t resist sharing an early look with you. atmoky trueSpatial for Audiokinetic Wwise will feature two main plugins: 🎛️ 𝐎𝐛𝐣𝐞𝐜𝐭 𝐑𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐫 (name TBD): Renders both interactive sound objects (1/2-channel audio with source effects and metadata) and audio beds (e.g., 7.1.4 or ambisonics) to any supported output format—binaural or loudspeaker configurations. Think of it as a virtual audio endpoint, delivering consistent sound quality across every OS/platform and supporting an almost unlimited number of high-quality audio objects. 🎛️ 𝐁𝐮𝐬 𝐑𝐞𝐧𝐝𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐫 (name TBD): Renders multi-channel bus signals to either binaural or loudspeaker setups, using the familiar atmoky Ears workflow. Plus, we’re including 4 metadata plugins for: 𝐒𝐨𝐮𝐫𝐜𝐞 𝐃𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐭𝐲, 𝐍𝐞𝐚𝐫-𝐅𝐢𝐞𝐥𝐝 𝐄𝐟𝐟𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐬, 𝐋𝐅𝐄 𝐆𝐚𝐢𝐧, and 𝐒𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐨 𝐖𝐢𝐝𝐭𝐡. ⏰ 𝐎𝐧 𝐚 𝐭𝐢𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐝𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐞? If you’re considering trueSpatial for an upcoming project, we’re happy to send you the current version for testing. Just reach out, and we’ll get you set up! And of course, let me know what you think about trueSpatial for Wwise coming soon. #gameaudio #gamedev #wwise #spatialaudio

🎧 Ever tried having 251 sound objects active in #unity? From a sound designer’s perspective, that might sound like overkill (as it’d be typically grouped it into an ambience mix), but I wanted to hear what’s possible! 🔊 (please use headphones for binaural audio!) 😄 👉 Question for sound designers and game devs: How many active sound objects do you typically use in your interactive sound designs? When there’s ambience plus individual sound objects, what’s your sweet spot for creating an immersive experience without overwhelming the listener? Or are there other limitations, like performance, CPU load, or spatial accuracy, that impact your approach? 💬 Please drop your thoughts or DM me! I’m curious about your experiences and insights. Also, references to research in that field is welcome. Not sure if auditory scene analysis and grouping into audio streams is the answer here.    PS: We’ll hopefully dive deeper into this topic at our upcoming webinar on spatial audio in gaming and interactive media next week. #gamedev #sounddesign #sound

🌍🚀 Still buzzing from #AWE2024 in Vienna last week! Markus and I dove headfirst into two days of mind-blowing innovation and creativity in #AR, #VR, and #XR. The expo halls were packed with impressive demos and brilliant talks showcased just how fast immersive tech is evolving. It’s incredible to see how the industry is pushing boundaries, and with all we've seen there we couldn’t be more excited about the future of #SpatialAudio in this space. Huge thanks to the organizers, speakers, and attendees who made it all unforgettable. 💫 Until next time, AWE, XRVienna, Euromersive , Isabel De Peuter-Rutten (I love that group pic), Oscar Cartagena Lagos, Chris Burgess, Jeremy Dalton, Muki Kulhan, , Gabriella Chihan Stanley, Lisa Maria Egger (Arrival.Space rocks!), Matthias Grabner, Ola Valdresstuen, Adele Keane, Florian Wiencek, Sebastian Tusk, Jia Kim (PICO XR & Friends Community Happy Hour & Bowling Action was pure fun!), Ⓜ️ Sabine Madritsch, Chloé Lee, Gero A.E. Egger, Lucas Martinic, Sara Boss, Philipp Ottensamer, Julien Fleury (Snap Inc. Spectacles - one of my highlights at AWE) 📸 Check out some of our favourite moments below! #AWE2024 #SpatialComputing #Innovation #Tech #Gamedev

How does sound drive immersion and engagement? What’s the magic behind hearing, and how can we best integrate immersive audio in film, XR, interactive media, and storytelling? Join me and an amazing group (Ana Monte, Oliver Kadel MPSE, Anan Fries, Luke Kemp, Weronika M L. and many more) at this year’s DOK Leipzig - Exchange XR, where we’re dedicating a full session to the power of sound. 🎶💜 P.S. Can’t make it? Let me know, and I’ll do my best to get a recording to share later! #spatialaudio #XR #sounddesign

Ready to dive into the spatial dimension of XR? Join us at AWE EU 2024! 💥 This year's show promises to be a game-changer, showcasing the latest advancements in XR technology. One thing is clear: IT’S ALL ABOUT FEELING SPATIAL! But what does this actually mean? Achieving a true sense of physical presence in XR relies on three pillars: visuals, spatial sound, and interactivity. Miss one, and the experience falls short of full immersion. Markus Zaunschirm and I will be there to make sure the XR audio element doesn’t get overlooked! Come find us, try our demo and let’s dive into the world of spatial audio together! See you in Vienna! #AWE2024 #XR #SpatialAudio #ImmersiveExperiences #Vienna
