Abstract: Various embodiments may include systems and non-transitory computer-readable media for assigning three-dimensional spatial data to sounds and audio files. In one embodiment, a method can include receiving at least one audio signal, receiving sonic spatial data via a foot pedal, associating the sonic spatial data with the at least one audio signal, associating the at least one audio signal and sonic spatial data with a time code generated by a video camera, storing the sonic spatial data, the at least one audio signal, and time code in an encoded sound file, and directing playback of the encoded sound file.

Abstract: Embodiments can include systems, methods, and apparatus for recording three-dimensional audio and associated data. In one embodiment, an apparatus can include a base, a stick operable to move in either an X-axis direction or a Y-axis direction with respect to the base, a pedal operable to mount to a portion of the stick and receive a user input in either the X-axis direction or the Y-axis direction, and a sliding mechanism operable to facilitate sliding the pedal with respect to the base, wherein the pedal is further operable to receive another user input to correspond to a Z-axis direction. In certain embodiments, the apparatus can also include a locking mechanism operable to receive a user input to limit sliding the pedal with respect to the base.

Abstract: Embodiments of the disclosure can include systems, methods, and apparatus for playback of three-dimensional audio sound. In one embodiment, a system can include at least one input module operable to receive a mono audio signal. The system can also include at least one processing module operable to convert the mono audio signal to a six channel signal, wherein the six channel signal is played back over a 3D-EA array of speakers, wherein the 3D-EA array of speakers facilitates a dome-shaped listening environment around a listener. In at least one embodiment, the at least one processing module is further operable to receive sonic spatial data, and based at least in part on the sonic spatial data, modify volume and/or delay associated with the six channel signal.
