- Spatialisation of mono/stereo assets for immersive playback 

- Foley and environmental soundscapes for installations and interactive media 

- Multi-channel reverb design using custom algorithms 

- Sound design for games, exhibitions, and branded experiences 

- Spatial sound design for VR/AR/XR experiences 

- Deliverables in Atmos-style, Ambisonics, MPEG-H, Eclipsa Audio (IAMF), Audio Definition Model (ADM), or custom spatial/multi-channel formats 

Ideal for: 

Game studios, VR/AR teams, museums, installations, composers, and creative agencies.

 

3. Spatial Audio Workflow Architecture 

Designing and optimising immersive audio workflows, systems, and production environments.

Services include: 

- Workflow design for 5.1, 7.1.4, Atmos-style, MPEG-H, NGA, Ambisonics 

- Transition support from stereo/5.1 to immersive formats 

- Evaluation of spatial renderers, plugins, and production tools 

- Hardware/software recommendations for immersive production 

- Integration of spatial workflows into REAPER, Pro Tools, Nuendo, Cubase or custom pipelines 

 

4. DSP & Algorithm Development 

Research-driven DSP prototyping and algorithm design for spatial audio tools.

Services include: 

- Multi-channel reverb design and spatial processing algorithms 

- Decorrelation, spatialisation, and perceptual enhancement techniques 

- Python / MATLAB / Octave prototyping for R&D teams 

- Algorithm design, evaluation, and optimisation 

- Technical documentation for internal teams or publications 

- Support for plugin developers, game developers, and audio tech start-ups 

 

5. Research Support 

Scientific evaluation of audio technologies, perceptual performance, and user experience.

- Co-design perceptual tests

- Exploratory perceptual data analysis and interpretation

Services include: 

- Controlled listening test design and execution 

- Experimental design for spatial audio research
