Spatial Audio Using Spacemap Go is a 2-day interactive workshop in developing understanding and knowledge in spatial audio using Spacemap Go, Meyer Sound’s spatial sound design and mixing tool. This training includes guiding principles in spatial audio; Spacemap Go operations and workflow; and spatial sound design and mixing.
By the end of the training, participants will understand the guiding principles of spatial audio and system design; how to install a spatial audio system; how to apply workflow for installing, connecting, designing, and mixing using Spacemap Go; how to build Spacemaps and trajectories and trigger them with external control using OSC (Open Sound Control) and plug-ins; and they will explore various approaches in mixing spatial audio in a live production environment and installations.
This course is for people who want an introduction to spatial audio, have interest in using Meyer Sound’s Spacemap Go tool in live productions or events, and need to know how to design, use, and maintain these systems.
The registration fee includes training materials and morning coffee + pastries.
