New Audio Technology: Revolutionize Your Mixing with Immersive Spatial Audio

Spatial audio is now at the heart of the most ambitious music productions, from cinema to video games and immersive installations. Among the pioneers of this revolution, the German publisher New Audio Technology stands out as an essential reference.

Founded in 2012 by Tom Ammermann, a Grammy-nominated immersive audio producer, New Audio Technology (NAT) develops professional tools for sound engineers, musicians, and content creators. With over twenty years of experience in immersive audio production, Tom Ammermann has assembled a team of experts to design software created by sound engineers, for sound engineers.

Based in Hamburg, the company quickly established itself as a major player in Next Generation Audio (NGA), this new generation of audio technologies that transforms passive listening into an interactive and spatialized experience. From planetariums to recording studios, from cinema halls to home studio setups, NAT solutions are now used worldwide.

In this article, we invite you to discover the world of New Audio Technology, its flagship products, and how these tools can transform your approach to mixing and audio production. We will also show you how to get these software products at the best price on Green Musicians, the reference marketplace for musicians and producers.

A Pioneering Vision for Immersive Audio

Expertise Forged in the Field

"Our technologies are created by sound engineers, for sound engineers." This statement from Tom Ammermann perfectly summarizes the philosophy of New Audio Technology. Before founding the company, the German producer spent more than two decades working on immersive audio productions, collaborating with prestigious artists and institutions.

This field experience is felt in every product in the NAT range. The software is not designed by developers disconnected from studio realities, but by professionals who intimately understand the challenges of spatial mixing, binaural reproduction, and multichannel monitoring.

Next Generation Audio: What Is It?

The concept of Next Generation Audio (NGA) refers to a radically new approach to audio production and distribution. Unlike traditional formats (stereo, 5.1, 7.1) that impose a fixed number of channels and a predetermined listening position, NGA enables a truly immersive and interactive experience.

In practical terms, this means that the listener can move within the sound space, the mix adapts to the listening setup (headphones, speakers, cinema hall), and each audio element can be positioned with unmatched precision in a three-dimensional space. The technologies developed by New Audio Technology are built upon the work of Fraunhofer IIS, the German institute behind the MP3 format and now a world leader in spatial audio.

New Audio Technology's Flagship Products

Spatial Audio Designer (SAD): The Swiss Army Knife of Spatial Mixing

The Spatial Audio Designer is the brand's flagship product. It is a set of professional plugins designed for the creation, mixing, and monitoring of immersive audio content. Compatible with major digital audio workstations (DAWs), SAD allows you to position up to 128 audio sources in a three-dimensional space, with strikingly realistic binaural rendering.

Available in several editions to meet the specific needs of each user, SAD covers the entire spatial audio production chain:

• Spatial Audio Designer Producer: the basic edition, ideal for musicians and producers looking to get started with spatial mixing. Find it on Green Musicians: Spatial Audio Designer Producer.
• Spatial Audio Designer Producer Plus: advanced version with additional features for demanding productions. Available here: Spatial Audio Designer Producer Plus.
• Spatial Audio Designer In One: all-in-one solution for spatial mixing and mastering. Spatial Audio Designer In One.
• Spatial Audio Designer Film Stage: edition optimized for audio post-production for cinema and video. Spatial Audio Designer Film Stage.
• Spatial Audio Designer Virtual Producer: for producers working in virtual environments. Spatial Audio Designer Virtual Producer.

Each edition of SAD includes NAT's proprietary binaural rendering engine, capable of simulating listening on professional monitoring systems in various room acoustics with remarkable precision. Users report exceptional spatial clarity, even on headphones.

Spatial Sound Card (SSC): Your Virtual Sound Card for Spatial Audio

The Spatial Sound Card is a major innovation that transforms any headphones into a multichannel spatial listening system. Unlike conventional virtualization solutions, the SSC does not simply apply generic DSP processing: it faithfully recreates the acoustics of a professional listening room equipped with a multichannel monitoring system.

Available in two editions:

• Spatial Sound Card Stereo: for music lovers, gamers, and audiovisual content producers looking for an immersive listening experience in their daily lives. Spatial Sound Card Stereo on Green Musicians.
• Spatial Sound Card Pro Standard: the professional edition for sound engineers and studios. Spatial Sound Card Pro Standard.

The SSC is particularly appreciated by composers and sound designers working in cinema, video games, or virtual reality. It allows you to check a spatial mix without having to travel to an equipped studio, while ensuring faithful reproduction compared to listening on a physical system.

Prestigious Partnerships That Validate Excellence

The quality of New Audio Technology's solutions is recognized by the world's leading audio institutions. The company works closely with Fraunhofer IIS, a global reference in digital audio, as well as Dolby, Sony, and ARRI. The German company also equips leading cultural institutions such as the Hamburg Planetarium, an international benchmark in immersive broadcasting.

Among professional users are Fritz Hilpert, 3D mix engineer who has worked with Kraftwerk and Booka Shade, as well as many European post-production studios and broadcasters. This recognition demonstrates the robustness and professional quality of NAT software.
