How to Create the Best Sounding 3D Experience?

5.1 and 7.1 surround sound formats are not capable of reproducing a three-dimensional sound field and it’s therefore not possible to really immerse a movie or sport cast audience, music listeners or game players into a lifelike experience.

But a real 3D reproduction can. It allows for the creation of a unique and incredibly realistic sound scenery. The new approach to fully immerse the listener requires the consideration of new aspects in the production process.

Focus of the first day is the introduction of Height as the most important factor in the 3D listening experience. Concept, vision and requirements for the next generation sound formats will be presented and the trends and innovations in sport, music and movie production explained. How to include the listener in the third dimension and achieve an emotional connection? The participants will experience real 3D recordings and examples.

The second day will concentrate on the Auro-3D® format. Conceptual fundamentals, workflow related questions and solutions, introduction to 3D recording and mixing techniques, up-mixing, down-mixing and distribution of content. Bert van Daele (CTO, Auro Technologies), Patrick Lemmings (Tonmeister, Galaxy Studios) and Wilfried van Baelen (CEO, Auro Technologies and Galaxy Studios) will conduct the seminar.
