yes for sure it works !!!! and very well
but I am just looking into the future and where the market place will take immersive multimedia
and what tools are available for the audio engineer
like …..a commercial client comes to you and wants you to post a VR in 4 hours or less and make it come alive.
what can I use ……????
I don’t know right now ….
I would like to use the tools I have been using
perhaps SMPTE will bring all to the table and get some standard to get this into the bit-stream so we all can talk to each other
follow the money …..thats where we will end up
cheers

I think you’re talking about two different things here, Travis. It looks to me like Mark was talking about utilization of game engines for linear media, and how they don’t integrate well with most DAWs.. Whereas you’re talking about 360 media workflows within DAWs. There are all kinds of workflows for 360 linear media though; whether you’re working in Pro Tools, Nuendo (which does integrate with Wwise) or Reaper. None of them are overly expensive. So with the exception of interactive VR (that require game engines such as Unity or Unreal), I say work in the environment you’re comfortable with.

Hey Mark,

Thanks for reading! I’m going to have to kindly disagree with you on this one. Sure, in VR I agree that we’re pretty far from any Pro Tools/ VR system codevelopment, but today we can sync 360 Videos with tracking to audio sources in Reaper using Kolor Eyes and a connection over UDP. We can exclusively work inside Reaper to create immersive environments for 360 videos. Check it out here:

Hey There! Thanks for reading. Oculus has released some .aax plugins this past year for use within Pro Tools. I use them for prototyping soundscapes before bringing them into the Game Engine pretty often. I think we will be using Game Engines for a while on the integration side, but there’s definitely a push in DAW integration. I also use Reaper pretty much exclusively for 360 video because of the awesome Reaper ATK Toolkit.

I don’t think game engines are going to fly in the audio world and Protools. I have tried them out.
There is a need to be able to sync hard fxs with video frames in VR and fast.
I know that Dolby is working on something. Its the Wild West !!!!
and audio is always LAST haha
