Convert any music file (*.mp3) to 8D Audio.

//Hello World

If you love listening to music on YouTube I'm pretty sure that sometimes or the other you would have stumbled across some "8D Music", well yesterday I listened  "Starboy - 8D Music" and felt that there was really no Eighth Dimension in it..... I mean if you go by the 26 dimensions of the Bosonic String Theory, then a Music file with eight dimensions.....hmmm... well mankind is yet to find out how it will sound like but the Videos on YouTube labeled 8D music are nothing but Ambisonic audio.

So, I researched a bit about Ambisonic audio, and I found out that to create a single "8D Music"  track for YouTube, it takes the creator about an hour of hard work with powerful analog instruments.
I was like "Woah!" just to make a 4-minute audio pan from left to right and vice versa you waste 1 hour. (Yeah but they do get millions of views on a single song -_- )

So I decided to automate this task with python, which will do it for me in just 5 seconds(NOTE: speed may vary according to your PC's processor)

NOTE: This is just ver 1.0.0 alpha build (you may experience some quality loss for few mp3s)

So if you want to make your own '8D Music' just follow these steps:

• First of all, to let python work with audio files, you will need to download 'ffmpeg' lib, Navigate to their official site  <<<<<HERE>>>>>>
  
• Click on "DOWNLOAD BUILD" button.
• Now here things may get tedious for some users....but please bear with me
  You will now need to add ffmpeg to your path, I'll try to navigate you through the process
• First, open Downloads and go to your downloaded file... extract it with any archive manager.
• 
  
  
  I am using 7zip to do so..... you can use anything such as WinRAR or even Windows Explorer.
• Rename the extracted folder to ffmpeg and copy it to your Local Disk D  (for simplicity)
  
  
• Now Right Click 'This PC' icon and select 'Properties' option.
  
  
• Now in the properties window click on Change Settings
  
  
  
• Click on the Advanced Tab
  
  
  
• When in the Advanced Tab click on Environment Variables
• 
  
• Double click on PATH
  
  
  
  
• Finally, click on New and in the box type D:\ffmpeg\bin
               again click on New and in the box type D:\ffmpeg
  
  
  
• And Congratulations you are done setting up ffmpeg for your PC, please don't blame me for such a long process. (It wasn't me. It was Python -_- )

Now here comes the fun part...

Download the 8D_Audio_generator at just 1 Dollar (Click Buy Now): ($ 1 USD)

UPDATE: I have made it opensource, you can still use the above link to contribute to the project or else just navigate to GitHub - WinterSoldier13/8D_music_generator: A simple Python script to generate '8D Audio'. Please go through this https://cubepy.blogspot.com/2019/06/convert-any-music-file-mp3-to-8d-audio.html post before proceeding

1. Create a new folder, move the downloaded 8Daudio.exe there
2. Copy your track into the folder rename it to 'test', eg. Rename: Coldplay_UpAndUp.mp3 to test.mp3
   
3. Double click 8daudio.exe ..... that's it.... follow the steps mentioned there....type 'normal' to generate Music with by default settings, alternatively you can type custom to generate audio with custom settings(just play with the numbers :) )

UPDATE: New version which supports many conversions at one click will be out soon...
