Overwhelming spatial reproduction power

with intuitive operation.


3DX realizes the highest sound quality and enables sound field expression beyond the real world. By integrating the functions necessary for 3D sound production such as 3D panning, binaural and ambisonic into a single plug-in, it provides a sophisticated production workflow.

3DX is equipped with the award-winning HPL binaural processor.

HPL®︎ is a professional binaural conversion technology researched and developed in Japan.
We pushed the boundaries of "binaural for music" to see just how far we could go. The result? Minimal sound quality changes, minimal phase problems, and uniform panning in all directions.
The resultant sound quality is so highly rated, it’s featured in the production of high-quality high-resolution sound sources and the mix of numerous award-winning works.

Compatible with all surround formats

3DX supports an ever-increasing number of surround formats, including 5.1ch and 7.1.4ch. In addition, you can even set 3DX out to binaural for better sound quality headphone monitoring. To mix multi-channel formats, your DAW must also support multi-channel tracks.

Automatically selects the best algorithm

to get the best sound every time

Attention to sound is not limited to HPL binaural; our 3D panning and ambisonic decoding also deliver sound of the highest quality.
There are many algorithms being researched for these processes, each with its own strengths and weaknesses. Traditionally, creating great 3D sound is complex, requiring you to select the best algorithm depending on the speaker placement and input audio format.
But no more - 3DX simplifies the process. With its two different internal 3D panner processors and two ambisonic decoder processors, it automatically selects the best processor combination when the Input/Output channel settings are changed.
There is no longer any need to compare or use multiple plug-ins.
With 3DX, you'll always get the best sound possible.

What do you need for your production?

Choose your perfect fit.

The only difference between the two editions is the number of input and output channels. The Lite edition offers the same high quality sound as the Standard edition.


Lite is the edition for those who want to create and mix music using binaural. If you are using a DAW that supports only 2-channel tracks, Lite is the best choice.


The Standard edition provides sufficient functionality for full-scale 3D audio production and is especially suitable for those who are working with multichannel audio or ambisonics. Please note that your DAW must support multi-channel tracks to use the Standard-specific features.


Solutions

3DX, HPL Processor and Ambience Enhancer can be used in combination to solve various problems in music and video production.
HPL Processor is not a pared-down version of 3DX: using a combination of both delivers a powerful toolset.

3DX or HPL Processor?

3DX is an all-in-one plugin that covers a wide range of features necessary for spatial audio production. On the other hand, the HPL Processor is a specialized plugin that focuses on binaural conversion of surround sound sources. Unlike 3DX, HPL Processor does not include features such as panning, ambisonics, downmixing, or upmixing. However, the HPL Processor excels in sound accuracy aspects such as localization and spatial reproduction, even though it has fewer functionalities. If your project requires only binaural conversion of surround speaker outputs, the HPL Processor is recommended. If you need more extensive features, it is advisable to start with 3DX. However, to create a higher-quality binaural mix, it is recommended to use both plugins together within a single project. For example, you can use 3DX as the panner for each track and insert the HPL Processor on the master track to achieve binauralization.
