It’s now easier than ever to create spatial audio experiences, with L-ISA Studio. This powerful software provides a comprehensive set of tools for controlling and manipulating sound sources in your projects. In this blog, we explore the core page of the L-ISA controller, called the Soundscape. Your command center to helping you create spatial audio.
The Soundscape Interface
The Soundscape displays a 2D representation of your speaker layout, allowing you to position your sound sources within the listening space precisely. On the left-hand side, you’ll find three lists: Sources, Groups, and Snapshots. The Sources list shows all active audio sources in your project, while the Groups list lets you organize sources into user-defined groups like drum kits or string sections. Snapshots enable you to capture and recall specific states of your source parameters.
On the right-hand side of the Soundscape, you’ll find the Levels control section, where you can adjust the gain for your master output, reverb, and two user-definable faders. You can also mute or solo individual channels using the dedicated buttons. The Effects control list allows you to manage spatial effects and assign them to your sources using the Effects assigned button.
To select a sound source for detailed editing, click the Select button at the bottom of the screen. Once a source is selected, you can adjust its pan width, distance, elevation, and aux sends using the controls at the bottom of the Soundscape.
L-ISA Studio’s Soundscape provides a flexible and intuitive interface for creating captivating spatial audio experiences. Master the tools and techniques available in the Soundscape and bring your audio projects to life with immersive sound.
Spatial audio is a sound recording or reproduction technique that creates a sense of sonic space and listener immersion. It can be achieved using various methods, including microphone arrays, binaural recording, and soundfield microphones. Spatial audio creates a more realistic and engaging listening experience for music, movies, games, and virtual reality applications.
