What Orbit does
Orbit’s 3D scene showing ADM beds and objects placed in space
Inspect

Every object, in 3D

Audit an ADM master object by object — see beds and objects placed in space, solo any element, and check naming and metadata against the spec.

Measure

A full meter bridge

Loudness powered by Cota, our ITU-R BS.1770-5 engine — integrated, short-term and momentary LUFS plus true peak — alongside a real-time analyser, per-channel output meters, and solo / mute groups for your virtual or physical speakers. Everything you need to confirm a master, in one bar. Export a PDF loudness report when it lands on target.

Multichannel and spatial waveform views lay the entire programme out on a timeline, so you can scrub, spot and verify every channel at a glance.

Orbit’s monitoring panel — binaural with head tracking, HRTF/SOFA, headphone EQ and output modes
Monitor

Binaural, tuned to your ears

Head-tracked binaural monitoring with custom SOFA / HRTF support and per-headphone EQ — hear an accurate fold-down on headphones, switch between Multichannel, Binaural, Stereo and Apple Spatial, and export a binaural WAV when you need one.

Orbit’s Speaker Layout & Routing panel — custom layouts, .osls import and a full output routing matrix
Any layout

Output to any speaker layout

New in 1.5.2 — build any speaker layout you can imagine, up to 64 channels, and monitor to it directly. Custom rigs are described once with OSLS, our open-source layout system, then patched to your interface with a full output routing matrix.

From Quad to any layout you can build

Monitor to the speaker layout your room and delivery need — the presets below, or any custom rig up to 64 channels. Custom layouts are powered by OSLS, our open-source layout system. Binaural and stereo fold-downs stay consistent across every layout.
