Nice work! Can you export for multichannel playback or is it binaural / stereo?


I'm working on multichannel playback, I've had some experimental success, and plan on adding it into the next update. it just needs more testing on a range of audio interfaces etc.

Currently it only exports/plays back in binaural stereo


Ah. 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. Or that it would export to a format that can play spatially on AirPods.

So right now, is it possible to make something in Audiocube and export it to native spatial AirPod sound ?


I am working on multichannel output but it’s a bit of a headache with all the formats and interfaces etc - I want a simple solution, so that needs a bit of research.

Currently I believe apple spatial uses some kind of 5.1 or 7.1 format audio files mixed with a binauralizer to distribute on headphones. I’m building a method to export in surround formats but it needs a bit more research. Currently it exports as a binaural wav that sounds very 3d, but I’ll look more into apple Spatial Audio as I haven’t researched it much


Outputting 5.1 as a DTS-CD (or something I can convert to a DTS-CD) would give me a reason to buy it.


I'm researching the possibility of other export formats that can be encoded with more spatial information - it's highly requested
