Mixed Spatial / Non Spatial Audio #77

Closed evanmang closed 8 years ago

evanmang commented 8 years ago

Hi!

I noticed that support for the spatial audio is now live in the android youtube app! This is great! Any timeline on browser / ios support?

Also, as a sound designer, I want to note that I would LOVE to see support for playback of a B-Format spatialized mix with a stereo non-spatialized mix, for combining spatialized elements with non-spatial audio (backgrounds / voiceover / non diegetic music) This would go a long way to making the 360 audio experience fantastic on youtube, and give creators a lot of freedom in making great content.

thanks!

Evan

Hey @evanmang!

I can't share any timelines on spatial audio support for other platforms unfortunately.

Regarding playback of non-spatialized audio alongside spatialized audio, we've drafted support in the Spatial Audio metadata specification for that under the Non-Diegetic Audio Box. Let us know what you think!

We also created a mailing list, spatial-media-discuss, to discuss the spatial media specifications. Feel free to comment there too!

Thanks, Dillon

@dcower that looks great! looking forward to that support being added in the live player.
