AES Convention 136 · Paper 130 · April 2014

Abstract

The project investigates the suitability of Higher Order Ambisonics (HOA) 3-D audio for the redesign and remix of historic film soundtracks. Technical and aesthetic challenges and hurdles are studied with scenes of a 1953 french classic. In order to obtain a high degree of immersion and on the other hand also to fix technical limitations of the historical material, some parts of the soundtrack were redesigned. The resulting HOA 3-D mix is claimed to be format agnostic, i.e., it is designed to be used on all common 3-D and also 2-D loudspeaker layouts, given the appropriate rendering system is provided.
