Oriented Reverb
Wwise Audio Lab
Description:Late reverb playing from a 3D bus keeps its orientation with regard to the Room, which makes for a convincing sense of presence. This example showcases the AK Convolution Reverb plug-in using a first order ambisonics IR that purposely steers the energy in one direction. Note: The IR has been exaggerated to make the oriented reverberation effect more obvious.
