Ambience Collections: Having the ambience pre-configured in multiple channel formats (e.g., stereo, quad, octo, 5.1, 7.1.4, ambisonics, etc.) is a great time saver. Efficiency: The time they will save in the future as they expand their usage of Strata is well worth the learning curve. ReaWwise: ReaWwise is a REAPER extension by Audiokinetic that simplifies the rendering, naming and transferring ...
For some scenarios, such as when processing ambisonics, the difference is magnified even further, with an over 20x improvement in throughput performance. A related benefit to the changes for AK Compressor and Expander is that we also resolved some inconsistencies in behaviour across different channel configurations. If you had any adjustments in your mix to compensate for this, especially when targeting ...
With our spatializer and room virtualization DAW plugins, we defined workflows to easily switch between different spatial formats like binaural audio, Ambisonics, and multichannel audio. Instead of spending their time with endless technical setups, our users can focus on what's important: creating a great-sounding mix.With dearVR SPATIAL CONNECT for Wwise, we are reaching the same goal of mixing audio ...
Submersion ambiences, these new ambiences are available in different multichannel formats, from simple stereo to quad, 5.0, 7.0.4, ambisonics, and more. This will allow you to choose and modify the best format quickly and easily depending on your scene. Ambience Objects: Here is the best place to find the sounds that will perfectly fit into your underwater soundscape. Each layered sound offers a ...

Ambisonic component ordering
Wwise Help
The two primary component ordering formats for ambisonics are Furse-Malham, commonly called FuMa, and Ambisonic Channel Number, commonly called ACN. As seen in the following image, the former uses a lettered notation that—following alphabetical order per grouping—starts with the W (omni) channel, moves to its lower right, then its lower left, and then its lower center; then it moves to the next order ...
The blog Ambisonics as an Intermediate Spatial Representation (for VR) explains in detail the concept of intermediate spatial (or 3D) representations. In summary, busses at the higher levels of your bus hierarchy should be configured such that they preserve 3D information so that it can be used to binauralize for headphones, or “downmix” (for lack of a better term) for speakers. This is especially ...
You can use certain Effect plug-ins, such as Auro Headphone or Resonance Audio (installed through the Audiokinetic Launcher), to convert ambisonics to a stereo configuration. In this way, you can benefit from the ambisonics format as an intermediate 3D representation of sounds and then effectively downmix the signal before it reaches the final output.To set up a binauralizer Effect ...
3D Meter
Wwise Help
The 3D Meter mode provides a 3D spherical representation of the directionality of an ambisonic signal. It calculates the Peak level at every position on the sphere. A heatmap representation is then generated from each of the positions on the sphere. The 3D meter mode is currently only available on busses that have an ambisonics bus configuration. During the decoding process, gain factors are applied ...
My setup:I have a 3D Wwise event (game-defined position) It's playing from an AkAmbient actor in UE4It's routed in Wwise to an ambisonics 3-3 buswhich goes to a binaural bus that uses sce_Audio3d (this bus is also set to Ambi 3-3)and then to the master bus as stereo (Wwise audio output set to Stereo Speakers)What's wrong:When the listener turns away from the emitter, ...
