Podcasts are great, but you know what’s even better? Podcasts in 360˚ surround sound.
Spatial Audio Basics with Dr. Tom McKenzie | WolfTalk #007
Immersive Spatial Audio is great for movies and TV shows, and surprisingly good for music. It’s also great for podcasts, so why are so few podcasters using it? One is that it’s hard to make, so one company created a box that can capture podcast recordings in 3D sound.
"Spatial audio is like the ultimate podcast upgrade. It's like going from regular TV to 4K. It's just a whole new level of listening experience. I think once people hear it, they're going to be hesitant to go back to regular old stereo audio," digital media and entertainment specialist Cameron Sunkel told Lifewire via email.
Spatial Audio may be a gimmick, but after using it to listen to music for the past few months, I’m convinced it’s more than that. On the MacBook Pro, Spatial Audio lets your music and movie soundtracks fill the space around you. It’s not just about making car sirens appear behind you or placing the instruments of a jazz trio on a virtual stage in front of you.
