Immersive Audio Starter Kit: Your First Steps Map
You don’t need to know everything to get started. This kit gives you a clear and sensitive framework to begin working with immersive audio from what truly matters: perception, the body, and listening.
This kit is designed for artists and creators who want to explore immersive audio without technical complications.
Learn to listen, understand, and create with 3D, binaural, and multichannel sound from your studio or computer, step by step.
What does it include?
7 modules (theory + exercises + downloadable resources)
Key concepts of immersive audio and current technologies (Ambisonics, binaural, object-based, multichannel)
Practical worksheets, checklists, and ready-to-use exercises
How it works
It’s not a linear course → explore the stations at your own pace.
Ideal for artists, studios, and companies wanting to understand the immersive audio landscape.
Get free access to modules 0, 1, and 3 as a teaser version to try out the kit.
Module 0: Threshold / Entryway
Discover the foundations of spatial perception and prepare your senses for immersive audio.
Module 1: What Does It Mean to Be Immersed?
Explore the principles of immersive experience and understand how space, time, and narrative create perception.
Module 2: Fundamentals of Spatial Sound Perception
Understand the mechanisms behind spatial perception and how sound cues—time, intensity, and spectral filtering—allow the brain to locate sounds in 3D space. Learn to perceive horizontal, vertical, and depth cues, and explore exercises that sharpen your auditory spatial awareness.
Module 3: Approaches
Explore the main approaches of Next Generation Audio (NGA)—channel-based, object-based, scene-based (Ambisonics), and binaural.
Module 4: HRTF Understanding How Our Head Works
Discover the science behind how we hear in 3D and what makes binaural audio so immersive.
Module 5: Technical Principles Applied to Channel-Based Audio
Learn how multichannel audio systems create immersive sound.
Module 6: Technical Principles Applied to Object-Based Audio
Explore object-based audio (OBA), where each sound element is an independent “object” with metadata for position, size, and velocity.
Module 7: Ambisonic Sound Field
Ambisonics enables accurate 3D sound capture and reproduction. It covers the basic concepts, sound field representation, and how to deliver audio to speakers or headphones to create an immersive experience.
Full kit 7 modules
Immediate access to the technical and conceptual foundation needed to master the field of spatial audio. A structured journey from perceptual fundamentals to professional technical implementation.
