Featuring 3.5+ hours (22GB) of pristine city ambiences, [Tokyo Ambisonics](https://shop.prosoundeffects.com/products/tokyo-ambisonics) includes software that allows sound editors and mixers to **position “virtual microphones” in any direction with various polar patterns** for greater flexibility, realism, and creativity. This is the third [Ambisonics library](http://shop.prosoundeffects.com/collections/ambisonics) released by PSE. The Tokyo Ambisonics sound effects library offers unmatched versatility in post production, as editors can **tweak perspective of the urban atmospheres in real-time** to specifically match the setting of a scene. The B-format files can also be decoded to **mono, stereo, 5.1, 7.1 and beyond**. And with leading technology companies selecting Ambisonics as the [standard spatial audio format](https://support.google.com/jump/answer/6399746) for new immersive media platforms, Tokyo Ambisonics is also **ideal for use in VR audio and 360 video projects**. “Ambisonics is the only choice when mixing for 360 video,” says Masato Ushijima, recordist of Tokyo Ambisonics. “It’s almost impossible to create 3D soundscapes that are both convincing and CPU-efficient with traditional DAW use. Whether you’re working on a video or VR game, Ambisonic ambiences are going to be the foundation.” Captured at diverse locations throughout the city, Tokyo Ambisonics was recorded in **24-bit/96kHz** high-resolution using a SoundField SPS200 microphone. The library offers sounds unique to Tokyo, such as the Yamanote Line railway, as well as more general-purpose urban ambience recordings from the Shuto Expressway and Keihin Industrial Region.  [![Tokyo Ambisonics Daiba Bayside Park](https://blog.prosoundeffects.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/Tokyo-Ambisonics-Daiba-Bayside-Park.jpeg?width=300&height=300&name=Tokyo-Ambisonics-Daiba-Bayside-Park.jpeg)](http://shop.prosoundeffects.com/products/tokyo-ambisonics)![Tokyo-Ambisonics-Keihin-Industorial-Region](https://blog.prosoundeffects.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Imported_Blog_Media/Tokyo-Ambisonics-Keihin-Industorial-Region.jpeg?width=300&name=Tokyo-Ambisonics-Keihin-Industorial-Region.jpeg)           Daiba Bayside Park and Keihin Industorial Region #### Key Features: **46 immersive Ambisonic recordings with average recording length of 5 minutes (22GB):** 24-bit/96kHz Broadcast Wave Files.
