Mix and Monitor your Immersive Mix in all its Glory
With the all-new monitoring functions, this new version brings the unique ability to switch between different versions of the mix, all on the same monitoring setup. By selecting the right Mix Profile, you can be sure that your mix will be compatible with the supported features and limitations of the target deliverable.
Support for Loudness Measurement ensures your mix, downmixes and interactive programs comply to the EBU R128 guidelines (other standards coming soon). The all new and patent-pending AURO rendering algorithms with room-centric panning, ensure that all your mixes translate as intended, from playback in your studio, to cinema theatres, home systems and even mobile devices. The Fader Link feature allows the Pro Tools fader, solo and mute buttons to control the AURO Panner's fader, solo and mute buttons. Next to this, X/Y panning can also be linked to the Pro Tools X/Y panning controls.
