Orbit Pro 1.5 timeline — full multitrack ADM/IAMF with per-track solo, markers, 3D scene and activity

Inside Pro 1.5
Timeline

Every track, down to the object

A full timeline view of your ADM or IAMF master — beds, objects and stems laid out as colour-coded waveforms, with per-track soloing, looping and markers. Read automation, spot a silent object, scrub anywhere. Properly detailed, and fast.

Tracks on the left, the 3D scene and activity docked to the right — live as the file plays.

Overview

Your whole session, at a glance

The original Orbit view, refined — session waveforms across the top, the activity grid and 3D scene side by side, and full metering below. Everything you need to read a master on one screen.

Object Activity

Every object, moving in real time

A dedicated window — Pro only — that lays out every object in your master and traces its path as it plays. See trajectories top-down or in polar az/el, alongside each object’s waveform and live position. The fastest way to understand what a complex mix is actually doing.

Speaker Layout

Solo, mute & group — right on the speakers

New in 1.5.2 — a speaker layout view, Pro only, across the multichannel output system. Click any speaker in the top-down, side or 3D view to solo it, or build custom groups of solos and mutes that follow you across every view. Simple, and powerful for testing. Works with any layout up to 64 channels via OSLS.

Video

A real NLE, built in

A small but genuinely powerful video editor — enough to cut a quick music video or podcast bound for IAMF / Eclipsa. Don’t need to edit? Just drag your video in. Fast scrubbing, proxy generation and up to 4K, plus text and graphic tools — with more to come.

IAMF export

Quite possibly the world’s most advanced IAMF export

A powerful, flexible audio-routing graph for taking an ADM, EBU or Atmos master to IAMF / Eclipsa. Go fast with auto-route presets — YouTube, and our upcoming Esfera platform — or take full control. Hear exactly how the file will sound as objects fold into First-Order Ambisonics elements, and craft Mix Presentations for alternate mixes: no-vocals, different languages. Nothing else works quite like it.

Files & formats

Reads your masters exactly as they are

Open the files you already work with — and take them where they need to go. Both Orbit and Orbit Pro read ADM BWF and IAMF; Orbit Pro adds ADM → IAMF export.

ADM BWF

EBU & Dolby Atmos masters

Both EBU and Atmos ADM BWF masters are fully supported. Orbit uses its own rendering engine — no Dolby renderer — to read ADMs as flexibly and accurately as possible. It’s also what lets us visualise a master in the detail you see throughout Orbit.

EBU ADM Dolby Atmos ADM Own rendering engine Deep visualisation
IAMF · 1.0 / 1.1 / 2.0

Read in both — export in Pro

IAMF files open in both Orbit and Orbit Pro. Orbit Pro also exports ADM → IAMF, with or without video. From there, take your file to YouTube (on supported devices), our upcoming Esfera streaming platform, or verify it in Google’s IAMF Binaural Web Demo.

Speaker formats

From Quad to any layout you can build

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