MiRA Studio by FLUX:: is a real-time immersive audio analyzer supporting up to 24 channels, designed for precision metering and analysis in Dolby Atmos, Auro3D, and other multichannel formats, with flexible workspaces and network-based integration.
Immersive Analysis Environment
MiRA Studio is a real-time audio analyzer built for immersive and multichannel mixing, supporting speaker layouts up to 24 channels. It accommodates workflows for Dolby Atmos, Auro3D, and NHK 22.2, among other formats. The interface offers fully customizable workspaces and layouts, allowing you to arrange metering and analysis tools according to your specific mixing or mastering needs.
The included FLUX:: Nebula visualizes the spatial sound field using a 3D spectrogram, enabling detailed inspection of frequency content across all channels simultaneously. This feature helps you identify spectral imbalances or spatial collisions that may not be obvious in a standard stereo view. The tool is optimized with multi-pass processing to handle the demands of up to 24 channels without losing clarity.
Key Capabilities and Tools
MiRA Studio provides a comprehensive suite of analysis and metering tools for precision work. It includes a range of real-time meters for levels, loudness, and spectral content, with support for LUFS standards like EBU R128 and PLOUD. The RTA (real-time analyzer) offers multiple range modes, including manual, auto, and compressed auto, giving you flexibility in how you view frequency data.
For long-form projects, the software supports history tracking and metering statistics for file batches, including multichannel files. This means you can transfer a set of files, run a full analysis pass, and review detailed statistics afterwards. This is particularly useful for quality control in post-production or for comparing different mixes of the same material.
Integration and Workflow
MiRA Studio uses a proprietary network-based technology called Sample Push to connect with your digital audio workstation (DAW). You can send audio directly from hardware I/O or from a DAW insert chain using the MiRA Sample Grabber plugin. The plugin works on compatible DAWs, digital mixing consoles, or within the SPAT Revolution multichannel environment, providing instant analysis without complex routing.
The I/O configuration, including speaker layout, is simplified and can be easily transferred from the MiRA Sample Grabber or SPAT Revolution. This reduces setup time and ensures that your analyzer matches your monitoring environment. Once connected, you can analyze any source in real time, making it a practical tool for mixing decisions during a session.
Practical Applications
MiRA Studio is suited for immersive audio engineers working in Dolby Atmos or Auro3D productions, where monitoring up to 24 channels accurately is essential. It helps you visualize the spatial distribution of sound and catch issues like phase cancellation or frequency buildup in specific regions. The Nebula spatial spectrogram gives a unique perspective on how your mix translates across the surround field.
For mastering engineers, the batch metering and history features are valuable for checking multiple versions of a master against loudness norms. The real-time analyzer and LUFS meters help ensure consistency across tracks. With its customizable layouts, you can create specialized views for different workflows, such as a detailed frequency view for EQ decisions or a loudness view for delivery compliance.
