8D music: All information about the music trend

8D-Music is a music trend that fascinates fans with the impressive depth and variation of the sound. In this article we will give you all the information about this new way of modifying the songs.

8D music: movement in sound

• 8D music is an audio type that allows you to listen to songs or music from 8 different directions. These types of sounds are also known as Ambisonic Audio and are mainly used for VR programs to create a more realistic experience.
• This music trend is finding more and more fans on the Internet, precisely because of the depth and movement of the sound, which is clearly noticeable even with normal headphones.

What is really behind the music trend

8D music is created with a program that inserts the sound into a virtual sphere. The audio stream is then resumed and the result of the different amplitudes is divided into L / R channels. In fact, with headphones, you'll hear 2D / 3D sounds that are further modified to produce depths of sound from multiple directions.

• The name "8D" tries to appeal to the audience through the well-known 3D, 4D or 5D films, but has no real connection to them. In the films, the letter "D" refers to dimension, while in 8D music "D" stands for "Direction" or "Direction".
• 8D music is easy to explain. Home theater systems with 7.1 or 5.1 channels distribute the sound so that they reach the desired depth of movement. With 8D music, this effect is realized by audio processing, so that you can also perceive the movement with normal headphones.
• Tip: There are no proven negative effects on hearing. Nevertheless, it is often recommended not to listen to 8D music that is too loud. This type of headphone music can also cause inconvenience to young children due to the constant movement of the sound waves.
