In this roundtable discussion we invite experts in the field of immersive audio production for music, cinema, and 360° film content to discuss similarities and differences regarding formats, workflows, and aesthetics. Channel and object based immersive audio systems as well as headphone virtualization using binaural rendering both are trending topics in audio production. With the rise of new applications like virtual reality, 3D audio in cinema, and home entertainment, compatibility for cross-platform distribution is more and more requested, yet engineers often are only familiar with either playback on loudspeaker arrays or binaural rendering. In this event we will try to settle a common ground for all production types and look at the different requirements, both from a technical and aesthetic point of view.
