What it is
L-ISA Studio lets sound creators mix object-based audio on headphones in binaural mode or in a studio with up to 16 audio outputs. Its spatial controls adjust pan, width, distance, and elevation, and its Room Engine supports object-based reverberation and Virtual Acoustics applications. L-ISA Processor Desktop can render up to 96 audio objects to 16 outputs through the L-ISA Audio Bridge, which supports formats including 5.1, 7.1.4, 9.1.6, and 16.0. Headphone monitoring can use certified head trackers. Control plugins for DAWs are available in VST, AU, and AAX formats, and the software can interact with digital audio workstations, show control, game engines, mixing consoles, tracking systems, and OSC devices. It runs on Windows 10 or 11 and macOS Catalina or later, with native Apple M1 support. The free tier includes one seat for headphone mixing in binaural mode; speaker mixing and up to 16 outputs are listed for paid tiers. The free plan is free, billed Forever, and a 30-day trial is listed.
