Responding to the growing global trend to convert studios to immersive multichannel monitoring to support mixing for Dolby Atmos, Focusrite and ADAM Audio, two brands that are part of the Focusrite Group, have decided to make available a new educational guide about immersive audio. The new free resource, the Immersive Audio Expert Guide, is available to download now on the Focusrite website for those who sign-up.
The new Immersive Audio Expert Guide is a comprehensive document that demystifies immersive audio and is intended to help readers understand everything that is involved in immersive formats and how to take immersive mixing and monitoring to the next level.
"Immersive audio is transforming the way we create, experience, and enjoy sound. It goes beyond the traditional stereo sound setup, enveloping the listener within multiple dimensions of sounds. Whether you're in music production, post-production, broadcast, live performance, education, or just an audio enthusiast, this expertly crafted guide has something for everyone," Focusrite says.
The guide walks readers through the basics of immersive audio, and the different listening platforms (virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), gaming, cinema, and music production) with an emphasis on the most widely adopted immersive audio formats and delivery platforms from Sony, Dolby Laboratories, and Apple. Discussing what differentiates each of the formats and proprietary technologies, the guide details best practices, career opportunities (audio engineer, sound designer, audio programmer/developer, VR/AR audio specialist, game audio designer, etc.) and how immersive audio is consumed in the marketplace.
"This guide has been designed for individuals at all experience levels — from those taking their first steps into immersive audio to seasoned professionals seeking to refine their craft with the latest innovations," says Lee Whitmore, Focusrite Group VP for B2B and Education. "Our latest expert guide is all about immersive audio for creators, including musicians, producers, sound designers, and audio engineers. Authored in part by multi-platinum mix engineer Joseph Chudyk, the guide covers the essentials and best practices for working with Dolby Atmos, Sony 360 Reality Audio and Virtual Mix Environment, and also describes careers that will benefit from knowing how to work in immersive audio."
