Embody released an All Access version of its AI-driven Immerse Virtual Studio plug-in that works with any DAWs including Pro Tools, Logic Pro X, Reaper, Ableton
The announcement follows the 2020 launch of the software, and product announcements throughout last year from partners Avid, Audeze and Audio-Technica, Live, Cubase, Nuendo, Garageband, FL Studio and JRiver, SoundSource.
The All Access version of Immerse is compatible with all professional studio headphones while being specifically tuned for many widely used headphones, such as Audeze, Audio-Technica, Sennheiser, AKG and beyerdynamic.
The studios featured in the Immerse Virtual Studio plug-in are the creative spaces of Platinum and Grammy award-winning artists Bob Horn, Erik Reichers, Carlos de la Garza and Warren Huart. To create a verifiable reproduction of each studio, the sound engineers themselves tune the plug-in. They certify that the sound out of the plug-in matches the acoustic signature of their studio.
‘Rest assured that what you hear from the Immerse Virtual Studio plug-in on a pair of headphones is what you’d hear if you sat at the desk in my mixing room. I worked with Embody and personally tuned it. It is the sound of my studio,’ says Bob Horn.
Working on the premise that acoustically modelling a studio involves more than modelling the space and the monitor loudspeakers, Embody argues that it as equally important to model the experience sitting in the sweet spot of that space and individual ears.
‘The shape of your ears, the folds, and cavities inside your ears define your unique audio profile,’ the company asserts. ‘Embody has developed an artificial intelligence-based technology called Immerse that computes your personalised profile or HRTF in under 30 seconds. With your personalised profile combined with a studio’s precise acoustic model, Immerse Virtual Studio gives you the experience of being inside an excellent-sounding, acoustically treated room with the sound being played from a distance in front of you. As a result, your mix gets all the benefits of the studio’s acoustics, speakers, and layout when in reality, you might be mixing in your bedroom on a pair of your favourite headphones.’
Immerse Virtual Studio All Access is available for download.
