3D Audio Effect - Placement of Sounds Outside The Stereo Basis

Placement of Sounds Outside The Stereo Basis

By manipulating parts of the sound according to psychoacoustic findings in phase and sound, it is possible to create sounds beyond the stereo basis. Effects from QSound Labs have been used on albums from Sting and Madonna in the beginning of the 1990s, as well as in the videogame Super Street Fighter II.

    Cornelia Otis Skinner (1901–1979)
