360pan suite is a plug-in suite for Windows and macOS designed to provide up to third order ambisonic mixes for immersive audio: audio from all directions, intended for headphone playback, that stays where it is even when you turn your head.
You can do all your panning, distancing and even mixing in your DAW's video window (Reaper or Pro Tools HD / Ultimate) . It is not necessary to have any plug-in interface open while working.
What is the 360pan package for?
O 360pan plug-in set lets you provide ambisonics audio, AmbiX audio in b-format to be precise.
There are many names for the type of video that the 360pan package can provide this spatial (or localized, immersive,) audio 3D) to:
360° video
VR video
Virtual reality video
Panoramic video
Spherical video
to name the most common.
These type videos require a soundtrack that can spin when the viewer's head with virtual reality glasses, head mounted device (HMD) activated or your phone is activated.
There are several platforms for playing videos on 360 VR.
Facebook 360
Oculus Video
YouTube 360
SamsungVR
Ride< /div>
Vive
SteamVR
Playstation VR
to name a couple.
They all chose Ambisonics as the technology that allows for interactively rotating audio mix. This means that the audio station people need to produce ambisonic mixes. Ambisonics mixes are in a format called format b, which consists of four channels (for first order, nine channels for second order, and sixteen channels for third order). Format B comes in two channel requests: AmbiX or FuMa.
YouTube requires AmbiX b format ambisonic soundtracks, so that's what 360pan offers.
Facebook requires 2nd order ambisonics, the 360pan package provides that.
The 360pan allows you to pan mono, stereo or four channel input files in ambisonics, using disks that move over the video window (Pro Tools HD / Ultimate).
The gain, distance and width of reverb along with the disk , will be displayed in the video window (Pro Tools HD / Ultimate) when a panner is inserted and 'show puck' and 'show overlay' are enabled. The three sliders appear when you click the three sliders icon that appears when you hover over a disk in the video window.
Signal Flow
It is possible to use 360reverb in the traditional way using sends and buses, however it is designed to be used in a smarter way: as
mono or stereo sources are converted to ambisonics while giving a left-right, top to bottom. and distance position on the ambisonics bus. A panner is inserted into each sound source track to do this. Thus, the panners get mono or stereo (or up to 4 channels) from input and output ambisonics.
Each 360reverb creates a private ambisonics input, a kind of backdoor , accessible only by 360pan instances. Each 360reverb appears as a send destination on each 360panner. This links the 360pans to the reverb in such a way that you can adjust the distance and width of the reverb per pan source. This goes for an unlimited amount of fonts, even if there is only a single 360reverb in your project (which is the most common setting).
In addition to all that, the usual main reverb input still works (also simultaneously with the private input).

Position blur
Increase the position of the blur to create sound objects that should appear larger than a point source. The pan position will then be the center of them, and they will become larger in the mix.
Headlock Audio
If the position blur is all the way up, the audio will be mono and will not move when the listener turns their head. You can use this to mix dubs or songs (mono) that shouldn't move.
Shift the stereo music left and right hard and the opening position blur halfway to create an effect of headlock in an ambisonics mix.
360monitor

The 360 monitor takes video frames from the video window and sends them to a browser-style drag-and-pan screen, while decoding the ambisonics mix to binaural for headphones ( or 5.0) for speaker playback, so you can look around and hear your immersion mix while you're doing it.
In the image, the format of selected mix is 8 channels (8 channels). So this 360 monitor is on an eight-channel (7.1) bus. Doubles audio to 2 channels for listening to headphones. This is done in the manner described technically in Appendix 2, 'Ambisonics to binaural conversion' of the 360pan package manual.
Hint: 360 monitor can be CPU-heavy when it is visible. This is because it is transporting frames from the Pro Tools HD / Ultimate video window to the 360monitor UI. The smaller the Pro Tools HD / Ultimate video window, the lighter the 360-degree monitor.
Head Tracking< /b>
An inexpensive bluetooth-connected head tracking unit that plugs into headphones and can orient the 360 monitor. This is more like the way your mix will be heard over the final user. Appendix 3 in the 360pan package manual describes the use and calibration of the head tracker.
Please note that when you purchase this tracker elsewhere (not from Audio Ease), needs to ensure that the battery is included.
360reverb
The 360reverb is the first reverb omnidirectional convolution pattern. A single instance can provide pan accompaniment reverb with individually adjustable reverb width for an unlimited number of sound sources.
The dry/wet balance and controls Scatter functions only work on the main input (traditional plug-in) of the reverb. 360reverb accepts ambisonics input and provides ambisonics output. There is a separate private input that is selectable in all instances of the 360pan plugin.
Dry/wet balance and scatter controls do nothing to lines private audio channels that each 360pan has for the reverb. The reverb distance and width parameters for the private inputs are set in the 360pan plugin (or via the pop-up faders in the video overlay).
360limiter
The 360limiter is a first order ambisonics to third order, look ahead, brick wall peak limiter with adaptive automatic determination of release time and added measurement volume EBU R128 (LUFS).
Your spatial audio mix will look great compared to other mixes from other professional sources like Google Spotlight Stories on YouTube .
Live ambisonic recordings often have a wide dynamic range, where occasional spikes can prevent the user from winning without cutting them. When uploaded online (or any other delivery platform), your mix can seem silent compared to the rest. This is where the limiter comes into play. 360limiter can transparently attenuate these spikes, allowing the user to get the program without clipping.
360radar
The 360radar shows you when there's audio in your ambisonics mix or recording, but most importantly it shows you where it is, all right in the video window.
360turner
360pan suite 360turner plug-in
The 360turner, together with the 360radar, allows you to rotate or tilt an ambisonic recording so that microphone misalignment and calibration errors can be easily corrected.
Import
converter plug-ins
360smoke to ambix and 360ambix to smoke
The two main flavors of format b channels are:
Smoking channel ordering WXYZ with reduced W 3dB compared to AmbiX
Ordering AmbiX WYZX channel
The 360pan suite , Facebook, Oculus Video, YouTu be, SamsungVR and Oculus use the AmbiX b format.
Currently, some technologies use FuMa order as an upload requirement. If you are using the 360pan package to create audio for:
JauntVR VR player
Audiokinetic WWise
Zone TSL Surround
HarpexB
Then make sure to insert a 360ambix for smoke into the ambisonics channel you skip in order to get the order of the channel FuMa (and normalization ) required.
No export / conversion plugins required
The 360pan package works with standard ordering and normalization of AmbiX channels. This means that you can directly use the output of any plug-in from the 360pan package as AmbiX's ambison signal. There is no need to use conversion or export plugins. This also allows you to mix any other plug-in that supports ambison AmbiX audio.
