Engineering the Sound Field

Tools and Techniques for 3D Audio

To create these illusions, engineers use specialised methods:

  • Binaural recording: Capturing sound with microphones inside a dummy head to preserve natural HRTF cues.
  • Spatial processing plugins: Software algorithms simulate ITD, ILD, and HRTF effects in digital audio.
  • Reverb and EQ shaping: Adjusting reflections and frequency roll-offs to mimic real-world distance and positioning.

Dynamic movement: Panning and automation allow sounds to shift in real-time, further engaging the listener.

 

Application in MyReset:


Unlike generic meditation apps that loop static tracks, MyReset incorporates spatial design into complex Soundscape Journey compositions. This immerses the listener in a 360° field of adaptive sound - a living environment for balance, focus, or restorative rest.
