The binaries are not signed / notarized so on macOS or Windows you will need to click through warnings in Gatekeeper or Smartscreen. You can either compile the binaries yourself or pay as little as $1. That whole tutorial is all FOSS, although the Ardour developers charge for pre-compiled binaries. I am mostly going from ambiX to stereo (binaural or standard stereo), so the reverse of what you're doing, but the tutorial I used to get started was actually based on the type of workflow I think you're describing: I am learning to process ambisonic audio (mostly from a Zoom H3 VR) and am finding that Ardour handles ambisonic workflows well.

I'll be looking for a solution to the problem you've described in the future but for now I'm focusing on audio only. Take everything I wrote below and pretend like it was answering the question: are there good FOSS solutions for processing ambisonic audio. I do not know how to answer your actual question re: encoding the video and ambiX audio properly. Does anyone here have a simple and reliable tutorial for what I'm searching for? Are there better alternatives to audacity?ĮDIT: I'm way sleep deprived today and realized that I responded to your question without reading it fully. I also tried the FB360 encoder but after that the audio has a very poor quality.Īs you can see, I'm kinda lost. How do I combine a video with that AmbiX audio? I tried FFmpeg, but it deleted both the 360° information and the AmbiX information. Is that how it's supposed to work?Īnyway, somehow I managed to kinda solve that problem, but now I have another issue. When I try to export it with multiple channels, and I link one rack with a channel, the audio is hard-panned to that direction. Now I know that there are DAWs like ProTools or Reaper, but those cost money and aren't open-source.įortunately, I also have Audacity.

Now with that, I want to create a 360° spatial audio video, where the stereo file is like front left and front right.Īfter some research, I found the FB360 spatial workstation, but unfortunately, it didn't work with my DAW, FL Studio, as it doesn't support ambisonics audio output. So basically, I already have a two channel stereo file.
