Abstract:
Driven by the force of 3-D pictures the demand for spatial audio experiences is increasing. Several systems have been proposed just adding more channels around the auditorium. While the integration of new channels seems to be simple from a workflow perspective, problems arise if the content needs to be adapted to different setups in different venues. On the other hand, and driven by new spatial audio reproduction methods, a paradigm shift toward object-based audio production is currently under discussion in the community. This workshop brings together the experience and tools in production for new multichannel formats and new spatial audio reproduction methods in general. Examples of related productions and installations are given.
