The Acoustic Alchemy booth has been wall-to-wall soundscaped with three completely unique environments using real world audio combined with our unique 3D sound technology.
This page details the audio and techniques used to create each environment.

A combination of both looping and random emitters are used in these sections. Using the 3D sound capabilities of each sound emitter, we are able to restrict the audio to a specific three dimensional area. The 3D sound capabilities restrict audio without cutting land parcels into sections or editing the land parcel media settings.
The Super-Randomizer emitters have the Roaming feature enabled, which allows the individual sounds to move to random locations within the defined 3D area.
This is just a small example of what types of immersive soundscapes can be created in your virtual worlds.
