•ambisonic audio
sound can be positioned anywhere in a full sphere around a listener by
encoding them on all four channels
( front/back, left/right, up/down, all-around)

when decoded properly these channels comprise a sound sphere where

the directionality of each axis is user-controllable
how is 8d music created?
An Artist often records the sound in the Monolithic way. It is a traditional way of
recording songs.

The Mixer than take all the soundtracks and mix them together. The Editor mixes
the fully left and the fully right soundtracks.

Then, the Real surround is done by the mixer where single audio files are merged
to make it multitrack. New Dolby Atmos is allowed to make the height information
too to make it truly multi-dimensional sound.

“From a technical point of view, the whole thing is a nightmare. So much time,
knowledge and money are put into high-end mastered music and then
someone comes along, writes "8D Music" on it and everyone thinks it’s better
to throw all the rules, laws and experiences of audio mixing of the last
decades overboard.”
