Neumann Develops Integrated Solution for Monitoring Immersive Audio on Its Own Headphones

Neumann announced the release of RIME (Reference Immersive Monitoring Environment), a new DAW plugin that allows users to monitor stereo, surround, and immersive formats up to 7.1.4 via Neumann's NDH 20 and NDH 30 headphones. RIME enables music producers and mixing engineers to monitor immersive formats like Dolby Atmos in reference quality, providing an excellent alternative when a multichannel loudspeaker setup is unavailable or when working on the go.

Avid has announced an update for its Pro Tools software that introduces significant new capabilities for both music and audio post-production workflows, including a new integrated Dolby Atmos renderer to streamline immersive mixing. The release also offers enhancements to the recently introduced Pro Tools Sketch window and app, adds important interface improvements, and introduces "Same as Source" bounce support for H.264 video, plus support for Native Instruments S-Series controllers.
