Masterclass: Sound for Virtual Reality with César González.

Masterclass: Sonido para Realidad Virtual con César González.

Come and discover the world of Sound for Virtual Reality with César González's Masterclass at our school in Barcelona.

Virtual reality is, without a doubt, one of the most prominent media today. Countless brands have begun creating virtual and/or augmented reality experiences for their clients, which has resulted in an explosion of this form of creation and, of course, the sound that accompanies it. Although there are still many things to explore and improve, it is clear that it is becoming increasingly common to find it at trade fairs, exhibitions, and all kinds of events. In the field of audio, it is interesting to know how to design and adapt sound to moving images and that it also responds to the interaction of the user, which makes it particularly complex to sound design. That is why we have prepared the Masterclass that we present to you "Sound for Virtual Reality" which will take place next Wednesday, May 16, at 6:00 PM, at our school in Barcelona. This Masterclass will be taught by César González Cortés, a former Microfusa student, specializing in Audio Post-Production and graduated in 2009. After completing his specialization at Microfusa, César González returned to Mexico—his native country—where he began working in the film industry collaborating on films by people like Alfonso Cuarón, Rirkrit Tiravanija, Amat Escalante, Fernando Eimbcke and many more. This gave him enough experience in the audiovisual world to simultaneously open his own studio, where he fully immersed himself in the world of virtual reality, specifically in the field of sound. He has also worked in music production, contemporary art projects, and advertising, with credits as an editor and sound editing supervisor, sound designer, and production sound and post-production coordinator for projects in London, the USA, Guatemala, and Mexico. He has a specialization in Sound Post-Production for Film from Microfusa Barcelona and is Pro Tools certified as an operator for film post-production. Furthermore, this year, he gave a lecture at the VR Fest Mexico on Narrative Elements of Audio for VR. The Masterclass will consist of three parts:
  • Narrative Value of Sound in Virtual Reality Experiences: highlighting the importance of sound in virtual reality. In addition to exploring the differences between formats: 5.1, 7.1, Atmos, and Ambisonic.
  • Explanation of the Ambisonics technical principle and its different orders, as well as why it is the most popular solution for VR.
  • Demonstration of Virtual Reality recording and editing.
