Overview

Place it in the sphere.

B360 converts mono, stereo and surround material into Ambisonics B-format, the four-channel standard behind 360 audio on YouTube, Facebook, games and VR. B-format does not route to individual speakers the way ordinary tracks do. Its four channels together describe the entire spherical soundfield, so anything destined for an Ambisonics mix has to be encoded first. B360 does that with accurate panning across up to seven image sources, and includes AmbiX and FuMa conversion utilities.
