![]() ![]() Surround sound is mainly seen as a mixing process and playback experience. ![]() Surround Sound Companies like DTS, Dolby Digital and THX invented surround sound technology for commercial and home theaters. Most of the music you listen to on Spotify or shows you watch on netflix have been mixed in stereo so that you can have drums mixed to the right, or sense a character walking on from the left of the screen. With stereo audio you can localize audio sources to the left and right when listening, but not above, behind or below. Stereo An upgrade to mono, stereo audio is 2 channel audio. Your iPhone’s built in mic captures mono audio. Everything will just sound like its right in front of you, evenly dispersed through both earbuds. You won’t hear the drums in your left ear, or the guitar in your right. That is because your headphones are playing back the same single channel audio file into both earbuds. For example, if you are listening to mono audio on headphones, you will notice that whatever you hear in your right earbud, you will hear in the left earbud. With mono, all audio is sent through one channel for playback. Mono One of the most widely used formats out there, mono (meaning one) audio is single channel audio. Not every interview wants to be recorded in binaural, but not ever podcast wants to be recored in mono. It’s important to understand the difference between these formats since one might be better used in your story than others. The way we create and consume sound on our mobile devices, desktops and home theaters is changing. The new iPhones now come standard with stereo speakers, Bluetooth headphone sales have surpassed those of wired, Apple has removed the headphone jack, Podcasts audiences are doubling by the MONTH and the rise of virtual reality content has both brought binaural audio, a century old audio format back into the spotlight and introduced a new one: 3D Sound. ![]()
