01Overview

Immerse Virtual Studio is built for producers who mix on headphones and want a reference point beyond their own room. Embody says the plugin uses AI algorithms, a personalized HRTF profile built from a single photo of the right ear, and room measurements to place the listener in studio environments. Four studio rooms are included, so a mix can be auditioned in more than one acoustic space from the same headphones.

Studio rooms and headphone compatibility

The plugin offers four studio rooms: Echo Bar Studios in North Hollywood, the Diamond Control Room at SAE Expression College in Emeryville, Spitfire Studio in Los Angeles, and Music Friends Studio in Eagle Rock. The Diamond Control Room is described as centered on a classic SSL 9000J console and fitted with Meyer and Dynaudio monitors.

Embody states that Immerse Virtual Studio is tuned for the ATH-R70x, ATH-M70x, ATH-M50x and ATH-M40x, reproducing each studio's monitor and frequency response on those models.

Headphone EQ, metering and Apple silicon support

Producers can adjust the amount of headphone preset applied, which the developer says makes the plugin fully compatible with Sonarworks SoundID Reference running in tandem.

The main interface can show RMS or LUFS metering, with a visual indication when the limiter is engaged. Native support for Apple M1 is included, which Embody says lowers CPU usage and makes spatial mixing more reliable on those machines.
