Increased Capacity for Spatial Show Files via Enlarged Scaling Surfaces by TiMax
In the realm of live event audio, the latest feature introduced by TiMax, Scaling Surfaces, is revolutionising the process of fine-tuning immersive audio mixes. This innovative tool offers a seamless transition from studio to live settings, making it easier than ever to adapt mixes to different venues.
At the heart of Scaling Surfaces is an intuitive interface, featuring eight drag handles and direct manipulation controls. These tools empower users to resize, reshape, and reposition spatial surfaces with ease, allowing for precise adjustments to the immersive audio environment. This hands-on approach makes it simpler than ever to fine-tune mixes according to the specific acoustics and layout of live event spaces.
One of the key advantages of Scaling Surfaces is its ability to easily rescale spatial show files from a studio playback environment to an auditorium setting. With just two mouse clicks, users can adapt mixes to suit different venues, a process that was once time-consuming and complex[2][3].
The feature also enables the distribution of content without the need to know the exact scale of the playback environment or system. This means that users can change the Scaling Surface size, shape, and height to rescale an entire show for a new venue, further streamlining the process of adapting mixes for live events[1][3].
TiMax's Scaling Surfaces can be used individually or in combination, with multiple Scaling Surfaces able to be used in a single file. For instance, two Scaling Surfaces could be used to cover a 'stage' and 'auditorium' area, where each surface would need to be resized separately[5].
It's worth noting that Scaling Surfaces requires TiMax SoundHub version 6.10 or later. When an object is attached to a Scaling Surface, its spatial positioning and movement automation across the entire show file move with it, ensuring a smooth and coherent audio experience throughout the performance[6].
In conclusion, Scaling Surfaces enhances the versatility and flexibility of TiMax SoundHub, making it a powerful tool for optimising immersive audio mixes for live events in a timely and effective manner. By reducing the time and complexity associated with adapting mixes, audio engineers can focus on refining the quality and impact of the immersive audio experience, creating a truly memorable event for audiences.
