W.A. Production has introduced a 3D depth and positioning effect plugin designed for truly cinematic sound. A collaboration with veteran audio professional Pan Athen, PsychoPan bypasses overly complicated acoustic measurements, and instead serves up a tactile interface for ultimate creative control.
Since the invention of stereo sound, music producers have been using rudimentary left / right panning techniques to place sounds around the listener. But why limit yourself to a two-dimensional plane, when you can expand your sonic horizons?
PsychoPan is a revolutionary psychoacoustic sound-styling plugin designed to change how humans perceive sound in a 2D space. Born from the demanding worlds of cinema sound design, game audio, and immersive production, PsychoPan sculpts depth, elevation, front-to-back placement, and distance… magically encoding a universe of 3D audio, within a standard stereo stream.
