L-Acoustics has launched L-ISA Studio 2.5, making the object-based audio mixing tool compatible with any PC and Windows OS in addition to Mac and macOS computers.
Freeing L- L-ISA technology from the studio L-ISA Studio 2.5 includes both the L-ISA Controller and L-ISA Processor Desktop applications, as well as L-ISA Audio Bridge, a custom virtual sound card for Windows.
The Audio Bridge includes both Bridge Out and Device Out pathways for audio output. The Bridge Out allows 12 outputs to be sent through any DAW for multichannel recording, while simultaneous Device Out allows audio to be sent to either headphones or a multichannel sound card for rendering for immersive loudspeaker configurations.
Additional enhancements in L-ISA Studio 2.5 include graphic updates to the L-ISA Controller. Creators can now also load standard loudspeaker templates for configurations in Dolby Atmos and BluSpace. Pre-production is facilitated with selective speaker muting and the ability to snap objects to specific active or muted speakers, which facilitates previewing different loudspeaker configurations in diverse spaces.
‘L-ISA is an intuitive platform for creators to explore mixing in spatial sound, which can be rendered to platforms like Apple Music, Tidal, and more,’ says Executive Director of Creative Technologies, Guillaume Le Nost. ‘Making L-ISA Studio widely available to sound engineers, regardless of their preferred platform, is a natural step in the evolution of our flagship immersive audio technology.’
L-ISA Studio interfaces with leading digital audio workstations, show control software, and gaming engines. It also offers compatibility with various 3D audio formats, including Dolby Atmos loudspeaker configurations.
With unlimited free binaural output capability, L-ISA Studio 2.5 can be downloaded from the L-Acoustics website.
