B360 meets the ever-increasing demand from YouTube, Facebook, gaming, VR, sound effects libraries, and others for 360⸰ mixes using the industry-standard Ambisonics B-format.
Unlike standard mono, stereo or surround tracks, which route to individual speakers, B-format has four channels that together represent the entire spherical soundfield. When you want to include mono, stereo or surround tracks in an Ambisonics mix, you first need to convert them to the 4-channel B-format. B360 is the fastest, most intuitive way to do that.
Whether inserted in your final mix to encode Ambisonics mixes, or inserted in individual channels for precise positioning in the spherical sound field, B360 is your answer to simplified workflow.

Not bad but needs time spent to get the most out of it.
Much of the default samples are very thin and I get that it's based on the original hardware though some options in the plugin would have been nice but not necessary. General operation is good both as plug in and stand alone with some excellent features. Auto fills work nicely. Looking forward to spending some more time with it to get the most out of it.
