Channel distribution 5.1
Solo a virtual speaker as centered stereo to hear its contribution. LFE is excluded; this is not hardware surround monitoring. Channel meters estimate panning gains, not measured loudness.
02 / TIMELINE
0.0 secondsSound sequence
Add a sound to see its track.
Position moves and fade envelopes are calculated across each source's duration. Changes during playback restart the preview.
03 / QUICK START
Hear a scene in seconds
Choose Try demo for three synthesized sounds, drag their points around the room, then play a stereo fold-down. Export a 5.1/7.1 file for a proper surround editing or playback system.
Headphones ≠ real surround. The preview is a stereo compatibility mix without HRTF virtualization or height cues. The exported WAV contains true separate channels and an explicit speaker map.
A surround scene, from idea to export.
Design the space
Drag sources through the room, adjust spread and gain, or animate a linear trajectory. Switch between 5.1 and 7.1 speakers at any time.
Preview and deliver
Use a stereo downmix for immediate audition, then download a multichannel WAV with channel ordering for your DAW or surround-capable playback system.
Frequently asked questions
Can my headphones reproduce 7.1 surround?
Not as eight discrete hardware outputs. PixelOkay provides a stereo compatibility fold-down for ordinary headphones. It is not a personalized HRTF binaural renderer. The exported WAV has discrete speaker channels.
How are the channels ordered?
5.1 exports FL, FR, FC, LFE, BL, BR (0x3F). 7.1 exports FL, FR, FC, LFE, BL, BR, SL, SR (0x63F). Receiver mapping depends on your playback software and setup.
Can I use this for a feature film?
Use it to prototype and export short scenes, then perform final routing, calibration, loudness and monitoring in a professional DAW. This is not a Dolby Atmos encoder or a room-calibrated monitoring system.
Is my audio uploaded?
No. Audio is decoded and rendered in your browser. A saved layout contains references and settings, not audio bytes, so reloading it requires relinking sound files.
