Playback of Ambisonics Audio

Nuendo allows you to decode Ambisonics audio for monitoring via headphones or speakers. For decoding, you can use VST AmbiDecoder or suitable third-party decoder plug-ins.

When working with VST AmbiDecoder, the following applies:

  • In the Control Room Phones channel, VST AmbiDecoder is automatically used for decoding Ambisonics audio. Alternatively, you can use suited third-party decoder plug-ins.

  • In the Control Room Main channel, VST AmbiDecoder is automatically used for decoding Ambisonics audio.

  • You can use third-party Ambisonics decoders as insert plug-ins in the Control Room Main channel.

  • VST AmbiDecoder allows you to send a head-locked signal into your monitor mix via side-chain.

Note
