Waves B360 Ambisonics Encoder
Channel Format Conversion Plugin
Convert Mono, Stereo, and Surround to 360° Ambisonics B-Format Mixes
B360 meets the ever-increasing demand from YouTube, Facebook, gaming, VR, sound effects libraries, and others for 360⸰ mixes using the industry-standard Ambisonics B-format.
Unlike standard mono, stereo or surround tracks, which route to individual speakers, B-format has four channels that together represent the entire spherical soundfield.
When you want to include mono, stereo or surround tracks in an Ambisonics mix, you first need to convert them to the 4-channel B-format.
B360 is the fastest, most intuitive way to do that.
Whether inserted in your final mix to encode Ambisonics mixes, or inserted in individual channels for precise positioning in the spherical sound field, B360 is your answer to simplified workflow.
