Import Ambisonics (First order) and Export Ambisonics (First Order)

[Ben Carlin]

Hey,
All I want to do is take my spatial ambisonics track straight from my H2N microphone and import it into Sound Particles. Then I want to bring up my 360 reference video and edit my ambix track down to be in sync with the 360 video (can use reference audio from video to help align ambix track). Then just simply export the ambisonics (first order) track out again.
I've seen a tutorial on how to add single point sources to sound particles and export out as a ambisonics (first order) mix. However, what if you already have an ambix mix you want to import into sound particles and just edit? Ideally what I would like to do is have my background ambix mix that I import then also add a single audio source from my lavalier mic which I'd keyframe animate to move with the actor.
Any help would be much appreciated!
Thanks in advance
Ben

Hi Ben,
Currently, Sound Particles is not able to import Ambisonics files (only exports them), but I'm working on that right know - eventually, I may send you a beta version within a week or so.
Nevertheless, you can use Sound Particles to position your lavalier mic, export the ambisonics, and them mix both ambisonics files (original + lavalier), on some external audio editor, to obtain a single ambisonics file.

Let me know if you want to test the beta.
Regards,
Nuno

Hi Nuno,

Thanks for the reply. Yes, I'd love to test the beta when it's ready. I'm really looking for an all in one spatial sound solution and if Sound Particles could offer input and output of Ambisonics it would be by far the best!

Thanks once again,
Best
Ben

I would love to be able to test this out as I'm also wanting to find an all-in-one sound design tool for 360˚ video.
