After watching a few videos, and reading a couple blogs, I see the words "3D Audio" and "Spacial Tracks" thrown around but never finding much detail on them or if they're used in music (Metal, Post-Hardcore). For example you have plugins like Waves Panorama 3D to allows to position audio so it feels like it's "Up, Down, Infront, Inback, ect". To me that sounds like it could make positioning stems more interesting.

I feel like I may of heard on tracks for Sturgis or Chango, but I'm feeling unsure at the same time. Does anyone have any knowledge on this?

Here's a video example for those interested in Panorama 3D.
