Impressive, useful spatial audio concept
From 3 comments
Easy decision to send you a few pounds for this. This is no small task to put together and looks really impressive. I can't wait to try it out :) I have a history experimenting…
wdfx on HNI am so glad you built this, I just bought a license. I sketched out an similar app, but never had super pressing need. I can think of many many uses for this from modeling…
sitkack on HNReally cool! I've been working on a side project that utilizes spatial audio and I've been pleasantly surprised by the quality I'm getting just using the WebAudioAPI HRTF…

Binaural-only export; no multichannel or Atmos output yet
From 2 comments
Nice work! Can you export for multichannel playback or is it binaural / stereo?
roddylindsay on HNVery cool app. If you can crack multi-channel output formats (5.1, Atmos) I can see a lot of prosumers who would happily buy the product. Even the most basic tools for Dolby 5.1…

The free download requires account registration, which will discourage most people from trying it. Even third-party login might make it easier, but I didn't find that option.

Download links fail in Safari
From 1 comment
not sure if it's the ad blocker or safari itself, but the download links don't appear to work in safari. I had to switch to chrome to download.

It's funny to see this now because I've been for a couple weeks looking into audio spacialization. After a lot of research and even trying to write my own spatializer plugin, I…

Does it support multichannel output and surround formats?

roddylindsay on HNAh. I think I misunderstood the purpose of the app. When viewing the main page, I had the impression that the output would be targeting large Atmos multi-speaker installations.…

How does it differ from Logic Pro spatial mixing?
From 1 comment
Looks interesting, will check it out. I am curious what makes audiocube different and better than Logic Pro’s binaural and spatial Dolby atmos mixing?

Can it model room acoustics for treatment?
From 1 comment
No expert at all here. But could I use this to say, model my room and understand how to treat it acoustically to remove reflections and stuff like that?

Thanks so much for the support! All of these uses are possible - my dream is for it to become much more advanced and powerful, almost like Blender but for audio and acoustics.…
