Métrica and Eurecat present Sfëar's new immersive 3D sound studio at Sonar+D

The new study, put into operation by Metrica, allows you to create live three-dimensional songs and music sessions, as well as produce and distribute music and immersive audio content on mobile devices using headphones.

Metric y Eurecat have announced in Sonar+D the opening, this month of june, from the first professional studio with immersive 3D audio technology from Swear, developed by the technology center, with the capacity to produce, record and mix with three-dimensional and binaural sound, two concepts that will set the new standard in audiovisual productions.

During Sonar+D, The Métrica and Eurecat team have unveiled the new 3D sound studio, which has been designed to “be a laboratory for research and development of tools that place music and sound at the immersive level that audio has reached in the film industry”, explains the director of Audiovisual Technologies at Eurecat and head of Sfëar, Adan Garriga.

The study will allow us to offer “a sensory experience based on new, fully immersive audio for the music industry.”, with a horizon in which “rapid development on new platforms” is planned, such as virtual reality and augmented reality and the video game industry”, indica Shams Faure, Head of Metric Operations.

The new studio “will produce music that will be heard with augmented reality headsets and will expand the boundaries of live performances.”, making it possible for the public to be immersed in the art of the musician”, continue.

According to Faure, “Live 3D music offers musicians more tools to capture their art”, in contrast “to the limitations of the two dimensions offered by traditional formats such as stereo or 5.1. 3D sound will be the new standard in the field of audio, as was the emergence of stereo sound in the fifties and the transition from stereo to the system 5.1 in the eighties”.

The new 3D environment allows you to create shows, as The Zero-Gravity Band, an experience that can be seen during Sonar+D and that, through artistic creation, induces the public to sensations of zero gravity, similar to those outside Earth.
