Parannuksia spatiaaliseen miksaukseen

Dear Realityn dearVR SPATIAL CONNECT tuo virtuaalisen miksauksen Cubase 12 -ohjelmistoon

Spatiaalisen äänentoiston asiantuntija Dear Reality on julkaissut Steinbergin Cubase 12 -audiotyöaseman kanssa yhteensopivan dearVR SPATIAL CONNECT -sovelluksen, jolla voi hallita miksauksia virtuaalitodellisuudessa. dearVR SPATIAL CONNECT -sovellus laajentaa Cubase 12:n sisäänrakennettuja Dolby Atmos -ominaisuuksia, sujuvoittaa spatiaalisia audiotuotantoja ja mahdollistaa audiotyöaseman käytetyimpien toimintojen ja dearVR PRO -liitännäisen monipuolisen hallinnan VR-kuulokkeita käytettäessä. dearVR SPATIAL CONNECT -sovelluksen ansiosta ääniraitoja voi siirrellä ja automatisoida intuitiivisesti elein virtuaalisessa 360 asteen ympäristössä. Yhdistämällä sovelluksen Dear Realityn monikanavaisia kaiutinjärjestelmiä tukevaan dearVR MONITOR -kuulokemonitoriliitännäiseen Cubasen käyttäjät voivat nyt hyödyntää ammattilaistason työkaluja, jotka vievät spatiaalisen audiotuotannon uudelle tasolle.

Spatial audio redefines how artists, engineers, and listeners interact with sound. The new audio standard envelops the listener and provides a much more emotional auditory experience by having sounds arrive from every angle and distance. To unlock creative mixing possibilities and to empower producers to craft more lively and engaging music productions, Dear Reality introduces its VR application to Steinberg’s Cubase 12 audio workstation. “With the latest dearVR SPATIAL CONNECT update, we make our VR mixing solution available to a wide range of music producers mixing Dolby Atmos in Cubase 12,” says Dear Reality co-founder Christian Sander. “This combination enables them to experience a revolutionary way of working with spatial audio. By optionally adding our dearVR PRO spatializer and the dearVR MONITOR virtual headphone mix room, engineers benefit from a complete spatial audio ecosystem where they can spatialize, control, and monitor spatial audio sessions.”

By linking a VR headset like the Meta Quest or HTC Vive with their DAW, users can position and automate audio tracks in the virtual space by pointing at them with two handheld controllers. dearVR SPATIAL CONNECT enables direct VR access to the position, channel volume, solo & mute, and the automation status. This gesture-controlled process speeds up the mixing workflow and leads to more lively and authentic automations. “When positioning and automating sounds, we shouldn’t be limited by drawing automations in the DAW with the mouse or copy and paste automation lines,” concludes Felix Lau, Product Owner at Dear Reality. “When mixing spatial audio content, we should explore the space without any restrictions.”

In addition, dearVR SPATIAL CONNECT provides overlay modules for extended navigation and control in the VR headset. The main control module enables direct control of Cubase 12’s transport functions like start, stop, and rewind. Furthermore, users can directly jump through the timeline and set markers and loop points. The meter bridge module brings the traditional mixing console we all know and love to the VR world. In this module, users control each audio channel’s volume, solo, and mute status. When the mixing session grows in complexity, the “minimap” module provides a comprehensive overview of all audio sources in the scene. It is an interactive, miniature view of the whole session and reflects the surrounding VR space, the audio sources, and their automation in real time.

Based on the selected operating system, dearVR SPATIAL CONNECT can run on the same Windows machine as the DAW or in an easy-to-set-up two-machine setup. This allows the user to run the VR application on a Windows machine while running Cubase 12 on a Mac OS. dearVR SPATIAL CONNECT now supports Apple M1/M2 processors and connects with Nuendo 12, Cubase 12, and Reaper.
