Designing and Creating Spatial Audio for 360º Videos
This workshop by ECCO VR co-founder Joel Douek at the IVRPA Tokyo 2018 Conference will highlight the role and value of immersive audio in Virtual Reality and key workflows to achieve best-in-class experiences. It will introduce tools that are free or cheap for low budget creators as well as resources that are used by professional studios.
This workshop will provide step by step instructions of a typical spatial audio workflow using available tools:
• Pre-production - concept, communication and planning
• Production - using 360 audio recording techniques
• Post-production - creating spatial mixes, working with video, encoding and delivery for multiple 360 platforms (YouTube, Facebook, GearVR, Oculus Go etc.).
To get the most out of the workshop registered attendees should bring a Mac or PC laptop and headphones. In advance of the class, links will be distributed to download the free software and example 360º audio post-production session that will be used for hands-on spatializing practice.
