MiRA STUDIO SOFTWARE – $9.95 PM/$99.00 PY (USD)
• MiRA Studio is a tool that lets audio engineers see and analyse how their multi-speaker, immersive sound mixes behave in real time so they can spot problems and balance the audio more accurately.
• It’s a software tool that helps people who mix or produce music to visually analyze audio that doesn’t just come from stereo (left/right) — it supports complex, multi-speaker formats (up to 24 channels). Think Dolby Atmos, Auro-3D, etc.
• As you play or mix audio, MiRA Studio shows you what’s going on in the sound — not just how loud things are, but how the sound is distributed in space (where sounds are coming from in a 3D speaker setup)
•I t has a special visual display (called Nebula) that shows a “spatial spectrogram” — that’s a way of visualizing frequency (bass, mids, treble) + position (where in space) for all the speaker channels.
