Space Replicator 2.0 provides high-resolution virtual acoustic spaces to assist you with headphone mixing.

This update improves the precision of your controls thanks to a wider variety of environments, enhanced simulations and refined spatial reproduction, bringing your listening experience closer to the conditions found in professional mixing and mastering studios.

Version 2.0 expands the range of available environments to include 7 mixing and mastering studios, 5 spaces dedicated to mix translation checks, and 2 virtual concert halls. Each venue reproduces the interactions between the room, the listening system and sound propagation to provide a more comprehensive analysis of the final output.

The new personalised binaural profiles enhance listening accuracy based on your individual hearing characteristics. The software uses an algorithm-based learning process to create a personalised adaptation. This development enables a natural stereo image through headphones, with a listening experience closer to that of a speaker system.

Space Replicator 2.0 also improves headphone management thanks to over 800 available compensation profiles. You can continue using your usual headphones whilst correcting their frequency response for mixing work. The new headphone simulations also allow you to analyse the sound reproduction against various consumer and studio reference standards.

Customisation options have been expanded with dedicated settings for each virtual environment. Room acoustics, room EQ, output EQ and left-right balance can be adjusted to tailor the listening experience to each project. Presets make it easy to switch between different methods of sound control.

This new version includes additional features designed to safeguard the final stages of a mix. Safe Headroom mode preserves the signal’s dynamics, whilst auto-bypass during rendering prevents the accidental application of processing during audio export. These tools provide greater peace of mind during final checks.

‘Transparent’ mode is one of the major new features of Space Replicator 2.0, offering a frequency response designed for headphone mixing. This simulation is based on a listening study carried out with audio specialists to create a neutral foundation suitable for adjusting levels, EQ and spatialisation.

With its standalone version requiring no DAW and no iLok protection, Space Replicator 2.0 is easier to integrate into a variety of creative environments. Sound engineers, producers, DJs and composers have a comprehensive suite at their disposal to analyse their productions under a range of virtual listening conditions.
