    • Physical acoustic characteristics of earphones and headphones required for the faithful reproduction of the original spatial impression of immersive binaural sound

      RD-2-1 |  Start 16:00 |  Duration 60 min. | Kimio Hamasaki |  Binaural Workshop (English)
      Immersive sound has been developed for systems with multichannel loudspeakers arranged in three dimensions, such as the 22.2 multichannel sound system. Recently, more and more immersive sound content is being produced to be listened to with headphones and earphones so that the immersive sound content can be enjoyed in a simpler way. However, the differences between the spatial impression reproduced by multichannel loudspeakers and that reproduced by headphones or earphones have become a problem. Representative examples of research conducted to address this problem include the individualization of head-related transfer functions used in binaural rendering and head tracking. Meanwhile, there has been less research on the physical acoustic characteristics required for earphones and headphones that reproduce the immersive binaural sound. We therefore investigated the physical acoustic characteristics of earphones and headphones required to reproduce the spatial impression of binaural sound aimed at by immersive sound content as faithfully as possible, and we found desirable characteristics. Subjective evaluation experiments showed that earphones and headphones designed according to these characteristics reproduce the spatial impression of the sound content more faithfully than devices designed on the basis of other characteristics. This workshop will introduce the appropriate physical acoustics characteristics of earphones and headphones for immersive binaural sound listening with some demos.

    • Vorstellung einer binauralen Produktionsumgebung in der DAW Reaper

      3D-5-2 |  Start 10:30 |  Duration 60 min. | Robin Zwirner |  Binaural Workshop (German)
      Ziel der im Rahmen einer Masterarbeit für den SWR entstandenen Binauralumgebung war es, ein möglichst optimales binaurales Hörerlebnis zu erzielen und gleichzeitig einen intuitiven und einfach zugänglichen Produktionsworkflow zu erhalten. Der Vortrag dient der Erläuterung der angewandten Prinzipien anhand von Demobeispielen und stellt den Produktionsprozess und die verwendeten Werkzeuge im Detail vor. Ein Ausblick für eine mögliche Integrationen der Prinzipien in NGA-Formate mithilfe des MPEG-H Authoring Plug-Ins wird gegeben.

    • Game Lokalisierung - Wie entstehen Dialoge in Games

      GAME-2-1 |  Start 09:30 |  Duration 30 min. | Ingo Hugenroth |  Binaural Workshop (German)
      Wie funktionieren Sprachaufnahmen für Games? Die deutsche Synchronfassung für Computerspiele zu erstellen stellt das Studio vor einige Herausforderungen. Die tontechnischen sind relativ überschaubar. Wichtig ist die Organisation, Erfahrung und künstlerische Leitung der Aufnahmen. Welche Materialien stehen zur Verfügung? Wieviel Informationen sind vorhanden? Wie werden die Informationen organisiert? Nach welchen Kriterien werden die Sprecher ausgewählt? Ich gebe eine allgemeinen Einblick in die Welt der Lokalisierung von Computerspielen.

    • Foley in Games

      GAME-2-2 |  Start 10:00 |  Duration 60 min. | Bastian Gerner |  Binaural Workshop (German)
      Bastian is freelance Foley Artist, Sounddesigner and Re-Recording Mixer who worked with clients such as Ubisoft and many post production facilities from De Lane Lea and Goldcrest in London to Basis Berlin, D-Facto Motion and Sonnenstudio in Germany. His Düsseldorf studio is called „The Foley Teachers 3D Audio Atelier“. He will display his personal story becoming a Foley Artist explaining the common pitfalls when building a studio and approaching custom sound effects recording in general. He then will explain the differences between working with linear media (Film) and interactive media (Games). This will be achieved by showing recording and editing sessions from both types of media. Some in game material from Ubisofts latest productions will be used to show results. Bastians vision for Foley in general will be shared at the end. With his social media content and his 1on1 coachings he enables audio professionals all over the world to record Foley and custom sound effects themselves in their edit suites or home studios or company facilities.

    • Sound Designing Rain for Hunt: Showdown

      GAME-3-1 |  Start 11:30 |  Duration 60 min. | Christoph Pracht |  Binaural Workshop (English)
      Rain is a huge challenge for every sound designer, because typical recordings of rain closely resemble white noise. This can be very fatiguing for listeners, mask more important sounds and ultimately does not represent the experience of being exposed to strong rain well. To overcome this problem, we came up with an innovative system, that automatically detects points in the virtual game environment where rain would hit. Those points form a grid around the player and instead of only using a static background loop, we place sounds of rain hitting a specific surface type at each grid position. The result is a stunning and extremely immersive soundscape, in which players can really feel their environment by hearing how the rain impacts it. In the talk, we will dive into the details of this system, what we learned about how to make rain as detailed as in reality and how the same ideas can be applied to any sound design situation. Bring your umbrella!

    • Vehicle Sound Design for Farming Simulator

      GAME-5-1 |  Start 15:10 |  Duration 60 min. | Nils Heine |  André Sousa | Binaural Workshop (English)
      André and Nils are showcasing vehicle audio recording methods and simulation techniques for the Farming Simulator series. They discuss their approach to recording tractors, detailing the equipment, procedures and conditions that are used to capture the sound of these complex machines. Real-time processing of Farming Simulator vehicle audio is explored in detail. They demonstrate methods for analyzing on/offload audio recordings to extract useable EQ profiles, which can be used as a basis for real-time processing to create a dynamic load sound. They will also briefly share some useful audio editing, processing and implementation tips.
