spacelab interstellar (2024)

The dawn of a new era.

Whether you produce music or mix for film/video, broadcast, games or VR/AR, Spacelab opens up a revolutionary new way of putting all of your tracks into the right acoustic perspective.

Spacelab is more than just reverb, more than just panning and more than just spatial audio. It combines these three into one plugin because they naturally belong together.

The future of audio is object-based.

The time is over, where complicated routing was necessary for achieving great mixes with everything in its right place. Treating audio as objects in space, as it is natural for human beings, Spacelab takes away the burden of complicated or sometimes even impossible routing for natural-sounding spatialization and reverb.

The future of audio is 3D.

On the verge of a listening revolution where 3D audio becomes mainstream and is accessible to everyone over headphones and soundbars, Spacelab provides a comprehensive solution for 3D-audio production with the ease of use of a plugin. With Spacelab you can produce 3D audio within any DAW, breaking through its limitations.

The future of audio is any format.

With Spacelab you can produce for any format, may it be classic mono or stereo, any surround or 3D speaker layout or may it be binaural, which is 3D for headphones. Spacelab perfectly fits into your Dolby Atmos or MPEG-H production workflow. Mix once, produce for any format.

Interstellar is the flagship of both versions of Spacelab and provides everything professionals need for their next-generation production.
