Producing Audio for VR and 360° content with the OC818.
Ambisonic B-Format Signals
Elevate your recordings with the AmbiCreator.
All OC818 microphones are calibrated to have the exact same sensitivity, which makes them ideal for stereo recordings. With our PolarDesigner plug-in, you can even experiment with different polar patterns in post-production to find the best stereo setup for your recording.
With our AmbiCreator plug-in we go one step further—getting an ambisonic B-format signal out of two OC818 microphones, e.g. a “Live-Set”. As the OC818 microphones have a dual output, we can calculate any first-order pattern from those two outputs.
Note for M1/M2 Mac users – these plugins will run just fine using Apples’ Rosetta technology, which is specifically designed for the purpose. We will be releasing fully-native M1/M2 versions of the plugins in the near future, which also include new features as well as compatibility with Apples’ latest architectures – but there are no issues to be had with running these plugins under Rosetta today.
The OC18’s sounded great on the Steinway piano, and with the right placement in a fairly controlled sounding room, they picked up the tones and dynamics of the piano beautifully.
The sound from the OC818 is perfect for my voice, it is incredibly detailed and has a ‘modern vintage’ sound.
