Beyond stereo: listening in 3D
Exploring 3D audio involves understanding how we perceive the direction, distance, and depth of sound. The article analyzes perceptual principles that allow us to go beyond traditional stereo and create more realistic experiences.
How to build a soundscape
Creating a soundscape is not just about placing sounds, but also defining relationships, hierarchies, and movement within a three-dimensional space. This article explores the elements involved in constructing a coherent sound environment.
Thinking about audio in spatial terms
Adopting a spatial perspective on audio transforms the way sound is designed and listened to. This article proposes a conceptual approach to understanding space as an active part of the creative and technical process of digital audio.
Space as part of sound
Sound does not exist in isolation: it always occurs in a space. Here we reflect on how the environment, distance, and location influence perception and how these variables can be consciously integrated into audio design.
Introduction to spatial audio
Spatial audio expands the possibilities of sound by incorporating depth, direction, and movement. This document presents the fundamental concepts for understanding how three-dimensional sound experiences are constructed and why they are increasingly relevant in digital contexts.
