[ProAudio] Mastering and monitoring for spatial audio

[David Josephson]

Thanks Damian, I’m well aware of the commercial entries in this space. Among professionals on this list, my question was specifically whether any of you have had __experience__ with these solutions. There is often a very wide gap between what vendors “offer” and what actually works. 

Meanwhile I can report that several people have contacted me about their workflows and I’m experimenting. Even getting a surround mix into a suitable 5.1 or Atmos container, preferably without video, seems to be problematic for many.

I have a client who would like to record and play back ambient soundscapes where listenera can move their head within the soundscape, at least in rotation.
