8D Audio Maker

Adds a slow, auto-panning effect that sweeps the sound from ear to ear. Best with headphones. Right in your browser.

This effect is built around stereo panning, so it only works with headphones or two speakers spread apart. On a single mono speaker you won't hear the movement.

Frequently asked questions

How does the 8D audio effect work?

It automatically pans the audio from left to right and back over a slow, adjustable cycle, using the Web Audio API's stereo panner. A touch of reverb is layered in to add a sense of space.

Why doesn't it work through my phone's speaker?

8D audio is a stereo panning effect, it moves the sound between a left and a right channel. A single phone speaker plays both channels mixed together, so the panning motion disappears. Use headphones or stereo speakers to hear it.

Is 8D audio a real audio format?

No, it's a nickname for this auto-panning effect, not a file format or a channel count. The exported file is a normal stereo MP3 or WAV.
