Neumann reinvents immersive mixing with VIS
Virtual Immersive Studio (VIS) is the innovative spatial audio positioning control application designed for Apple Vision Pro with which Neumann aims to redefine immersive audio production by allowing creators to control Logic Pro intuitively in a three-dimensional augmented reality environment.
VIS ushers in a new era for spatial audio workflows. Instead of relying on abstract 2D interfaces, producers can now ver, touch and move sound sources in three-dimensional space. Audio objects appear as visual elements in augmented reality, allowing users to position them naturally with hand gestures. Automation becomes a performance and mixing becomes a creative and immersive experience.
Yasmine Riechers, Neumann CEO, emphasizes that “VIS is not just an app: It's a new way of conceiving sound. Bring immersive audio to life, making it tangible and intuitive. For almost a century, Neumann ha redefinido lo que es posible en el audio, and our pioneering spirit drives us to shape the future. With VIS, Neumann is at the forefront of audio innovation, turning visionary ideas into new benchmarks in the sector”.
VIS connects directly to Logic Pro on Mac and appears as a device within the app. Once paired, Users can view Logic Pro on a virtual screen within Apple Vision Pro, resize it and place it anywhere in your environment. Thanks to the low latency transmission technology of Apple Vision Pro, Users can interact with their physical equipment while immersed in a virtual mixing space.
Flexible monitoring
VIS admits to monitoring through both speakers and headphones. For mobile or headset workflows, includes RIME, Neumann's exclusive plugin for spatial audio playback up to 7.1.4. RIME leverages the advanced head tracking of Apple Vision Pro to deliver an exceptionally realistic monitoring experience, enabling immersive production in any environment, from professional studios to remote locations.
“With VIS, we wanted to make immersive audio mixing as natural as playing an instrument”, states Jorma Marquardt, Neumann product manager: “By combining spatial computing with intuitive gesture control, We offer creators a tool that transforms technical workflows into expressive and creative experiences. It's not just about mixing sound, but to give it shape in space”.
VIS is based on the technologies of Bring it on, offering advanced virtual acoustics and spatial realism algorithms. Ambeo enables professionals to create immersive audio experiences that are not just heard, but they feel deeply. With VIS, spatial workflows become expressive, natural and accessible, turning technical complexity into creative freedom.
Kai Detlefsen, the Ambeo, highlights that “Neumann and Ambeo take the immersive experience beyond traditional workflows, not only driving spatial audio technologies, but also making them more intuitive and accessible. With VIS, we make it easy for the broader creative community to engage with spatial audio directly and expressively. It's about empowering both professionals and emerging talent to understand immersive sound instantly and start shaping it with confidence and imagination.”.
