8D audio for any track you own

The sound circles slowly around your head, about one revolution every eleven seconds, with the delay and shadowing your ears use to locate a real source. Headphones required.

MP95 settings, close up: sound effects bypassed for a clean digital output, 8D off, and crossfeed on with the Default, Chu Moy and Jan Meier presets

What 8D actually is

The "8D audio" you hear on YouTube is a mono or stereo track panned in a slow circle with binaural cues, so it seems to move around you. MP95 does this in real time on any file: the source orbits at 0.09 revolutions per second, the far ear receives the signal slightly later (up to 0.62 ms of interaural time difference), a head-shadow filter darkens the far ear and darkens more when the source is behind you, the level dips slightly behind, and a light decorrelated room reverb gives the space some walls.

MP95 on Mac: the analog sound desk under the machine

Headphones, always

The effect is built from differences between your two ears. On speakers those differences mix in the air and the effect disappears. Use any headphones or earbuds; there is nothing to configure.

On the desk with everything else

8D is a switch on the sound desk beside EQ, slowed and the analog chain, and it combines with all of them. Store the combination in one of the three memory slots and it is one tap away next time. On the Mac the desk lives under the machine; on the iPhone it is a tab in the sound settings.

Frequently asked questions

Does 8D work with Spotify or Apple Music?

No. MP95 processes the audio of files it plays, and streaming services do not allow third-party playback. It works with any MP3, FLAC, ALAC, AAC, WAV or AIFF file you own.

Is 8D audio free in MP95?

On Android, yes. On iPhone, iPad and Mac, 8D is part of MP95 Pro.

Why does it sound flat on speakers?

Because the effect is made of timing and level differences between your ears. Speakers blur those in the room. Use headphones.
