Audiomovers has announced a major update for its Omnibus audio routing software. As well as new networking options, Omnibus 3.0 also features a revamped UI and improvements to existing features for far greater flexibility when routing audio.
The audio routing software operates like a virtual patchbay for Mac and will now feature new networking functionality, with support for NDI and AVB network protocols. The new networking functionality means Omnibus 3.0 can communicate with nearby Omnibus instances running on other machines via one of the networking protocols, simplifying wireless audio routing between devices and machines.
Omnibus also now has a flexible virtual device channel count. Each Omnibus virtual device can have anything from two to 256 channels, depending on preference and use case. Engineers can also add only the audio devices they wish to route visible in the interface, adding and removing any audio device, from both the list and the routing matrix.
Omnibus 3.0 will now allow engineers to capture audio from specific applications (as well as audio devices), regardless of their audio device output routing, and route the audio as required, so engineers can route application audio separately or combine audio sources.
New features:
- AVB support (AVB-enabled hardware required).
- Wired and wireless NDI audio support.
- Four Virtual Drivers with up to 256 channels.
- Application Capture (when Omnibus is the system playback device).
- Add only desired hardware/virtual drivers to routing matrix.
- Sample Rate Conversion and smart buffer tracking.
UI Improvements include adjustable darkness levels for the matrix background, Hot Snapshot Panel and Menu recall, and adding of devices and channel count as needed.
Omnibus 3.0 will be available in Q2 2024, with upgrade options for existing Omnibus 2.0 owners.
