How It Works

SHAC (Spherical Harmonic Audio Codec) revolutionizes how we experience music. .shac files contain multiple audio sources positioned in 3D space with precise location data, distance relationships, and room acoustics modeling.

Real-time processing HRTF processing • Distance attenuation • Doppler effects • Room reverberation
Cross-platform Windows 10+ • macOS 11+ • Linux (modern distributions)
Co-invented by Clarke Zyz & Claude (Anthropic AI) • 150+ development sessions

SHAC isn't just spatial audio—it's interactive music. You don't just hear it, you navigate through it. Walk north while looking east. Stand between the bass and drums. Find the perfect spot where all elements align.

This is music as architecture. Songs become spaces. Your movement creates the mix.
