Audiocube have announced the launch of a new software application that aims to transform how sound designers and musicians create immersive audio content.
The new application, also named Audiocube, relies on a combination of real-time acoustic simulation and binaural HRTF (Head-Related Transfer Function) processing, precisely simulating the way that sounds are heard in real life and allowing users to create realistic immersive experiences. It’s possible to create custom acoustic environments that include variables such as reflections, occlusion, air absorption and distance attenuation, accurately mimicking the characteristics of real-life environments.
The software’s GUI offers an intuitive way to place sounds in the virtual environment, as well as kitting users out with a set of tools that can be used to shape and process their audio. Acoustic walls can be placed within the space to reflect or block sounds, influencing how the audio interacts with the virtual environment. A built-in mixer provides comprehensive control over levels and EQ, and is joined by a range of processors that include compression and an expansive spatial reverb.
An onboard sequencer makes it possible to trigger sounds at precise times in order to create soundscapes and musical compositions, and thanks to a set of automation tools, it’s possible to control the placement of sounds over time and create sequences that move around the 3D space. Once a project is complete, it can be exported as a WAV file using Audiocube’s output recorder function.
Compatibility
Audiocube is supported on Windows and macOS operating systems.
