Orbit — ADM QC Made Easy for Immersive Masters

Why Orbit

Delivering immersive mixes should not require a renderer, a DAW session, and a full studio to verify a single ADM file. Orbit plays and inspects ADM BWF masters directly on macOS, so engineers, producers, clients, and educators can QC quickly — anywhere.

• No renderer required: Drag-drop ADM BWF, hit play.
• Real monitoring: 7.1.4 output or high-quality binaural with head tracking.
• Visual confidence: 3D object positioning and naming to match ADM metadata.
• Delivery checks: ITU-R BS.1770 LUFS + True Peak metering, real-time waveforms.

Key Capabilities

• 7.1.4 monitoring with binaural and stereo fold-down for headphone checks.
• Object soloing, naming, and tracking to spot automation issues fast.
• 3D spatial visualisation using ADM ITU-R BS.2076 coordinates.
• Loudness metering (Integrated, Short-term, Momentary LUFS + True Peak).
• Head tracking (AirPods or camera-based) for accurate binaural cues.
• Native performance: SwiftUI UI with a C++ audio engine targeting 60 fps visualisation.

Who It’s For

• Mix and mastering engineers finalising immersive deliveries.
• Studios and facilities needing reliable ADM playback without tying up a renderer.
• Labels and clients who want to audition deliverables independently.
• Education teams teaching ADM/Dolby Atmos workflows with accessible tools.
