Today, we give you a complete guide to make the best out of it and enhance the experience of searching and editing your sounds in the fastest way possible! We all know there are a bunch of programs to manage our sound collections (and good ones!) so how is Explorer different from them? That's easy! It’s the only one supporting surround and immersive files.  You probably know that we are huge fans of spatial audio so we want every user to have a better experience with spatial audio. With Explorer, if you want to play an Ambisonics recording, you should be able to hear it automatically decoded to your existing speaker setup, allowing you to make the right decision about the sound. Well, now that you know what Explorer is, let’s see how to use it (we promise it’ll go by in a snap) - oh, and it’s free! ;)  [Read More](https://blog.soundparticles.com/step-by-step-organize-your-sound-with-explorer) [![](https://blog.soundparticles.com/hubfs/opengraph-blog-post-2.jpg)](https://blog.soundparticles.com/why-using-motion-in-audio-and-music-matters) ## [Why Using Motion in Audio & Music Matters | Sound Particles Talks #1](https://blog.soundparticles.com/why-using-motion-in-audio-and-music-matters) **Read time:** 7 min.    **Proficiency Level:** Intermediate On Thursday, October 13th, the first Sound Particles Talks took place, a new Livestream show to discuss topics of the industry, demonstrate products in a practical way and connect with the audio community. In a casual and funny way, once a month, Tony Joy, a specialist in the audio industry and a Sound Particles team member, will be live streaming on YouTube to talk about relevant topics with the audience. “Sound Particles Talks” is a place for all Sound Particles audience and clients to share their opinions, thoughts, questions, and feedback but specially to connect with the audio industry by discussing relevant topics for the community. The first talk was focused on “Why Using Motion in Audio & Music Matters” and the discussion covered how using motion in post-production and music creation can really impact and heighten the experience of the listener. The Sound Particles team had an amazing time with its extremely engaging audience that was actively asking questions and leaving comments. We had an amazing coffee chat and we hope you did too :)  If you couldn't join, here's a wrap-up!

Organized by the Sound Particles Marketing team, together with the speaker, Nuno Fonseca, the event was remarkably engaging. With more than 1600 people registered for the webinars, the events were nothing but a success! The audience questions contributed to very engaging and active Q&A sessions that were carried out by the speaker, Nuno Fonseca. During the two parts that made this webinar, the participants had the chance to get to know all the basics to start diving into the 3D audio world with four main topics: channel based-audio, object-based audio, Ambisonics and binaural. And because we don’t want anyone to miss the opportunity to access all this information, we will, in a fast and clear way, give you a snippet of what was presented during the events.

To increase viewers’ engagement during the transmission of the matches, some international broadcasters have requested Electronic Arts (EA) to help them simulate crowd sounds during their broadcasts. Paul Boechler, sound designer on EA’s FIFA franchise, was the one responsible for creating the dynamic crowd audio playback system that is currently being used by broadcast companies such as Sky Sports, BT and BBC. And he was very kind to share his experience with us and to also tell us a little bit of the process behind the creation of the sounds used in the games.
