Riedel SAME 1.0: advanced automation in audio mixing

After two years of development, has finally seen the light in WHEREAS 2026 in Barcelona, Riedel SAME 1.0 (Smart Audio & Mixing Engine). This intelligent audio and mixing engine, software based, allows you to automate audio mixing and management processes that would normally require the manual intervention of a sound engineer.

SAME is based technology COTS to offer “unmatched” processing capabilities that scale to the needs of each production. With an extensive set of Advanced audio processing tools and mixers, This proposal supposes the possibility of having automatic leveling and dynamic equalization, automated mixing, Audio monitoring or online process insertion.

Among other tools, highlights Voice Leveling, that keeps the volume of the commentators or announcers constant, automatically compensating if they speak too softly or shout; Automatic Ducking, that automatically lowers the volume of music or ambient effects when someone is speaking (a typical feature of radio and television); o Loudness Management, which ensures that the audio output meets loudness standards without having to constantly monitor VU meters.

On the other hand, con Audio Pilot, SAME ensures that audio engineers can always maintain the “big picture” of all productions underway, offering a complete view of multi-location productions for centralized monitoring and management. This function also introduces a audio monitoring system process and mixer independent with fully automated monitoring path switching, allowing users to select and listen to any running process instantly throughout the system without manually routing the signal.

Additionally, the management platform Riedel Stage simplifies mixing and matching devices, roles and staff without the need for protocol or IP knowledge, streamlining operations and reducing setup and training times. It is backend management has strong remote support capabilities for remote or in-home production scenarios and meets the highest IT security standards. The browser-based tool also offers extensive user rights management with integration into corporate directories and third-party identity providers (LDAP/AD, SAML, etc.).

Since I/O processing and routing are not tied to a physical location, SAME allows Quickly switch between different workspaces and production areas, and avoids the processing resource bottlenecks and access rights issues associated with traditional monolithic processing solutions.
