3D Audio offers a detailed perspective of this rapidly developing
arena. Written by many of the world's leading researchers and
practitioners, it draws from science, technologies, and creative
practice to provide insight into cutting-edge research in 3D audio.
Through exploring the intersection of these fields, the reader will gain
insight into a number of research areas and professional practice in 3D
sonic space. As such, the book acts both as a primer that enables
readers to gain an understanding of various aspects of 3D audio, and can
inform students and audio enthusiasts, but its deep treatment of a
diverse range of topics will also inform professional practitioners and
academics beyond their core specialisms. The chapters cover areas such
as an Ambisonics, binaural technologies and approaches, psychoacoustics,
3D audio recording, composition for 3D space, 3D audio in live sound,
broadcast, and movies - and more.
Overall, this book offers a definitive insight into an emerging sound
world that is increasingly becoming part of our everyday lives.
