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.
