MNTN
Spatial Audio
Production Suite

An instrument for artists, sound designers, and composers to play the space

 
 
 

The MNTN Spatial Audio Production Suite is a software bundle for producing, performing, and presenting immersive sound in physical venues with custom multichannel loudspeaker layouts. It includes the stand-alone renderer app, the DAW plugin, the virtual 128-channel audio interface, and the app for remotely controlling the spatial mix from additional computers and screens. While MNTN is designed for non-standardized loudspeaker layouts, you can also export various channels-based formats for VR, 360° video, or Atmos mixing environments.

Connect any DAW

The MNTN Spatial Audio Production Suite comes with a VST, AU, and AAX plugin to connect your DAW with the MNTN spatial audio rendering app.

Fullscreen spatial audio panner

The fullscreen panner is designed for panning sound sources while keeping track of the whole picture. The MNTN plugins and the MNTN app communicate in both directions, so the sound sources you move can be automated in the DAW and in the MNTN app.

Custom loudspeaker layouts

Thanks to MNTN’s object-based approach, audio content in any format such as MNTN 3D, stereo, surround, quadrophony, ambisonics, or Auro 3D can be acoustically projected on any number of loudspeakers and subwoofers, and in almost any standardized or custom spatial audio configuration, 2D and 3D.

Unlimited input and output channels

Depending on your license, and on what audio interface you use, you can use as many audio input and output channels as your computer can process — even with two different audio interfaces for inputs and outputs.

Binaural 3D audio for headphones

Start working on headphones by using the binaural listening mode. Later, you can switch the playback mode to any multichannel configuration and finish your 3D mix on a loudspeaker set-up.

Spatial audio mastering

A variety of additional export formats is available for content exchange with other systems, including object-based, ambisonics, binaural, stereo, and surround, as well as a custom loudspeaker print-out for channel-based playback systems.
