In der Ausgabe 3-1017 vom VDT -Magazin (Verband Deutscher Tonmeister) ging es um das Thema “Immersive Audio”. Da darf nat\u00fcrlich der VR \/ 360\u00b0 Video Bereich nicht fehlen. Hierf\u00fcr gab ich ein Interview, das mit etwa f\u00fcnf Seiten einen guten Eindruck meiner Arbeit vermittelt. Ein paar weiterf\u00fchrende Gedanken.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_yoast_wpseo_opengraph-image":"https:\/\/www.vrtonung.de\/wp-content\/uploads\/IMG_4647_PS_1200x630_squoosh.jpg","_yoast_wpseo_opengraph-image-id":"441","_yoast_wpseo_twitter-image":"","_yoast_wpseo_twitter-image-id":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[22],"class_list":["post-1424","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-unkategorisiert","tag-news-en"],"acf":{"remove_from_blog_overview":false,"alternative_title":"","previewimg":439,"text":"I was allowed to contribute to the vdt magazine of the Verband Deutscher Tonmeister.\r\n\r\nAs if that wasn\u2019t honoring enough, I get to put my face on the cover\u2026 at least half of it, after the rest is covered by the GearVR \ud83d\ude09 Of course, it\u2019s not only about me (luckily), but there are other highly interesting articles about 3D soundin the audio industry \u2013 greetings to colleagues, respect for the work!\r\n\r\n## Audio production for VR- and 360 degree films\r\n\r\nEven though the most important points are listed in my interview, in retrospect you can still think of things that would have gone beyond the scope of the interview. So here are a few thoughts, in addition [link id=\"819\" text=\"to the article\"], in no particular order:\r\n\r\n## Ambisonics \u2013 The Future?\r\n\r\nYeah, well, nobody really knows how she\u2019s gonna be, so time for speculation:\\\r\nI work a lot with Ambisonics and assume it will continue to be a viable business. To explain the format, of course not everybody knows, here is my complete [link id=\"819\" text=\"blog post\"]. Nevertheless, I assume that it will go more in the direction of object-based audio. I have already done [link id=\"829\" text=\"here\"] a small comparison of sound field, object and channel-based surround sound. Ambisonics simply can\u2019t compete with audio objects in terms of location and sound reinforcement, so you\u2019ll have to go to the Higher-Order Ambisonics.\r\n\r\n[image id=\"379\"]\r\n\r\nMeaning I see a mixed form for the dubbing of VR videos in the future:\r\n\r\n* Sound field-based Ambisonics still provides the basic atmosphere and is currently the best alternative for surround recordings on the set of 360\u00b0 videos as Ambisonics microphone\r\n\r\n* Channel-based sounds can be used for music, as a static stereo track for music\r\n\r\n* Object-based sounds are used for protagonists, Foleys and sound design\r\n\r\nThis would provide an audio format that would allow optimal positioning on VR glasses, while not excluding sound reinforcement. It is currently not but should be considered before mixing. Whether, and how easily, headphone mixes can be transferred to surround sound systems and vice versa is a completely different story.\r\n\r\n[newsletteroptin text=\"Learn more about VRTonung and immersive audio \u2013 subscribe now!\"]\r\n\r\nSubscribe to the latest 3D audio news\r\n\r\n## VR Mircrophones\r\n\r\nEven if different microphones are briefly discussed among audio professionals , there was no room to go into each one. [Here](https:\/\/endabates.wordpress.com\/2017\/06\/19\/comparing-ambisonic-microphones\/) but there is a very detailed comparison of the microphones DPA 4006, Soundfield MKV, Core Sound TetraMic, Zoom H2n, MH Acoustics Eigenmike.\\\r\nI can only add that I do not see the future in Ambisonic microphones. Even though the next microphone generation is just coming, which works with 8 instead of 4 microphone capsules for a higher resolution, as long as the microphone capsules are only cardioid, I consider them rather unsuitable for speech recordings.\r\n\r\n[image id=\"445\"]\r\n\r\nMuch better than placing a surround microphone and VR camera, it would be easy to use the camera sound. Cameras like the [Nokia Ozo](https:\/\/ozo.nokia.com\/eu\/nokia-ozo-audio) already work with first-order Ambisonic, but the microphone pre-amps can\u2019t even be leveled, so the sound is less usable. Here, however, more advanced 360\u00b0 cameras with 3D sound in various formats are already on the way, Fraunhofer is working on an algorithm that combines different camera sounds into one sound field. So let\u2019s see how the whole thing develops further. In this [link id=\"856\" text=\"Blog entry\"] I already had the chance to take a closer look at the Insta360 Pro\u2019s spatial sound capabilities.\r\n\r\n[image id=\"447\"]\r\n\r\n## Music at Virtual Reality\r\n\r\nI could only briefly mention here that I, as a composer, decided to set up the music as classical stereo, simply so that the user cannot influence it through head movement and the experience remains the same every time \u2013 unlike the original sound. I have already dedicated a whole [link id=\"834\" text=\"Blog entry\"] to this topic, with some scenarios, examples and thought experiments.\r\n\r\n[image id=\"392\"]\r\n\r\nIn short: Here may, should and will hopefully still be much experimented, stereo does not have to be the solution.\r\n\r\n***Thanks to all involved***\r\n\r\n[link id=\"785\" text=\"Back to the Blog\"]\r\n\r\n###Let's talk about your project\r\n\r\nWant to use 3D audio in a real project, not just understand it in theory?\r\n\r\n[link id=\"155\" text=\"Get in touch \u2192\"]\r\n","related_articles":[6343,2882]},"yoast_head":"\n
