Ambisonic Environments: Forest - Manipulating Ambisonics

UPDATE: ambisonicspace...
Hear the directional Ambisonics decoded to binaural (for headphones).
Ambisonics can be a powerful tool in creating a soundscape. With the right recordings, and some free plugins, I’ve discovered how immersive any creative experience can be.
I’ve taken the last several months to drive, hike, sweat, climb, and get soaking wet, to capture the soundscapes forest environments provide.
HEADPHONES RECOMMENDED.
Get the Ambisonic Environments: Forest coming to the Unreal Marketplace.
