expanding your creativity
With the IOSONO Spatial Audio Workstation (SAW) plug-in for Steinberg’s Nuendo, sounds can be positioned and moved anywhere in the listening space to create a fascinatingly immersive experience.
The Spatial Audio Workstation provides the sound designer and mixer with the proper tool to create a more intense and immersive sound experience without the limitations imposed by specific reproduction systems.
During the mixing process, the mixer is able to arrange separate sound sources into a sound scene on the stage view of the Spatial Audio Workstation window. Audio events appear on stage view as selectable sound objects for dedicated Nuendo tracks.
Once a scene is generated with the Spatial Audio Workstation, it can then be rendered into all standard multichannel formats or even stereo mixes. In that case, the rendering is performed in real-time directly in the Spatial Audio Workstation.
This is what gives SAW its future-proof mastering capability because any future format can be rendered directly out of the object-based scene description without up-mixing. All object-based scene descriptions produced by the Spatial Audio Workstation are high-definition (HD) spatial masters.
Automated motion paths for each object means that Nigel Kennedy’s on-stage antics, for example, can be reproduced with stunning spatial realism: bringing the violin right up to the listener, or allowing it to wander around the room. The creative potential of IOSONO goes far beyond simple panning, reverb, and conventional multichannel mixing, and is equally suited to the production of music, movies, or themed environments.
