I’ve heard of Mach1, Angelo, but haven’t played with it yet. Also, it wasn’t available at the time I was working on this particular project. The tools available in this space changes on a monthly basis. ;)

But, as you selected the Samsung Gear VR platform with Samsung VR app for playing, I guess you could have obtained signifcantly better results using a Mach1 soundtrack instead of crappy old Quad Binaural…
In Mach1 you have the same capability of keeping the two hemispheres completely separated, if you want, without the complexity of passing thjough 7.0-to-binaural rendering, which invariantly adds colouration and other artifacts.

Completely fascinating, Thank you for sharing all your hard work with us Shaun!

Thanks, Viktor. And that’s kind of where I was going with this. Needs of the project are always going to dictate the range of approaches. Then it’s simply a matter of selecting the most appropriate from that range.

This project is a great use case for quad binaural. Great write up, Shaun!
