3D Spatial Audio Analysis
Understand height, depth, width consistency, and immersive translation in spatial mixes.
What is 3D spatial audio analysis?
3D spatial audio analysis evaluates how a mix uses width, height, depth, and movement. It is useful for immersive audio, headphone playback, stereo enhancement, and mixes that need a clear sense of space.
Height cues
High-frequency and reflection patterns that affect vertical perception.
Depth cues
Direct-to-reverb balance, pre-delay, and distance perception.
Width consistency
How stable the stereo field remains across frequency bands.
Spatial translation
Whether immersive decisions still work on headphones and stereo playback.
How spatial analysis helps production
Spatial analysis helps separate intentional depth and width from accidental phase issues, cloudy ambience, or unstable imaging.
Practical checks
- Use width deliberately rather than widening every element.
- Check whether reverbs create depth without washing out the center.
- Keep low-frequency spatial energy controlled for translation.
- Use height and air cues subtly so they support the mix instead of distracting from it.
Common spatial problems
A mix can feel impressive in headphones but lose focus, punch, or compatibility when spatial processing is not controlled.
Typical warning signs
- Too much side information can weaken the center image.
- Deep reverbs can push vocals and drums behind the track.
- Unstable width can make sections feel disconnected.
- Height and air boosts can become harsh after mastering.
What Mix Analyzer adds
The spatial module combines stereo and psychoacoustic cues into readable feedback for mix translation.
