Volumetric sound recording techniques , where multiple 3D sound signals are captured throughout the recording area and mapped later for playback, have shown great promise in the world of positional tracking immersive experiences. But is volumetric sound capture an effective and plausible technique for music production ? What advantages does volumetric have over more traditional recording techniques and single position Ambisonic recordings and how the signals are combined for a stationary immersive listening experience ? These questions will be addressed by sharing immersive recordings, documentation, and discussing the outcomes of recent and ongoing work conducted at New York University and McGill University.
