Auralizations (or auralisations) are simulations of audio signals as would be heard in virtual room model, with its acoustics.
The first video showcases examples we have here in our website, and further below are videos showing how to set up your own auralizations in ODEON.

Moving a full orchestra to a new room
ODEON 17 introduces new features that, together, allow you to easily transfer a group of sources and an auralization mix associated to them into any other room.

Simulating a full section from a single recording
Using the AudioFX tool in ODEON you can make auralizations of a full violin section from just one audio source, sounding truly like different instruments and musicians. This video goes through the difference in sound with and without using the Audio FX tool, how you make one audio source into multiple, and how to set up a group of eg. violins based on the audio files made by the Audio FXs tool.

Realistic crowd auralizations with a single speech audio
Simulating a realistic crowd typically requires several speech sources with varying pitch, spectrum, etc. But with ODEON’s AudioFX tool, you can take a single speech signal, and generate many speech signals with slightly varying characteristics. Then, you can select all of these files and ODEON will automatically set up a complex auralization with many sources. Auralizations and the AudioFX tool are a feature of the Auditorium and Combined editions of ODEON.

Load, play, and analyze impulse responses
If you possess the WAV file of an impulse response, even if it was obtained from outside of ODEON, you can load it, derive the room acoustic parameters from it, and instantly produce auralizations.
