I’m so excited. I don’t have a truly 3D sound setup yet. But I bought a Soundcore speaker that can be linked with a plethora of other speakers. So while the sound won’t be 3-dimensional, it will still “surround” players.
The sound quality of Syrinscape’s libraries with Soundcore’s bass is magical.
I’d be curious though – can someone recommend a low-end 3D setup that will give awesome directional stuff? I’m new to the whole sound setup thing.
I have a 5.1 setup, just using a regular surround sound system through an Amplifier. Speakers arranged around the room, with four from roughly the corners of the table, a subwoofer under a desk (doesn’t matter where you put that, as the human ear can’t really identify where it’s coming from), and a center speaker that is alongside one edge of the table.
The layout is decent enough. The amp had a balancing system built in, where you put a mic at the center of the table, and it plays a bunch of sounds, then adjusts the volume to compensate for different distances.
Works fantastically with the Syrinscape Fantasy etc players. You get real directionality, which has led players to turning around to see where a door is creaking or whatever. A storm seems to be all around. Fantastic.
I can’t get it to work through the online player though as browsers seem to only output stereo these days. Would love a solution to that, but it’s a browser limitation, not Syrinscape.
