IOSONO announces collaboration with Steinberg - Surround mixing plug-in Anymix Pro integrated into Nuendo 6

IOSONO has announced the collaboration with Steinberg Media Technologies. IOSONO's Anymix Pro plug-in is an integral part of Nuendo 6, Steinberg's newly announced version of its post and audio production system. Nuendo 6 with Anymix Pro onboard will be released in the first quarter of 2013.

"We really enjoyed working with a professional team of specialists, who have exceeded our expectations," remarks product marketing manager for Steinberg Timo Wildenhain on the joint collaboration. "Anymix Pro is a great plug-in for panning and upmixing – a perfect choice for Nuendo 6, the world's most advanced surround mixing DAW," he continues.

Anymix Pro instantly adjusts loudness and EQ settings automatically once the signal is moved within the listening space. Also on board Anymix Pro are high-quality upmix features, making it easy to upmix stereo channels to 8.1 surround or backwards by keeping the naturalness of the original sound. In addition, Anymix Pro can be highly configured according to individual needs. Anymix Pro directly integrates into the new mix console of Nuendo 6.

"We're really excited that Steinberg has recognized the potential of the IOSONO technology, and we're glad to be a part of the most powerful surround-production environment available today," comments Olaf Stepputat, CEO at IOSONO.

Anymix Essential and Anymix Pro will continue to be available as stand-alone products to be used with all digital audio workstations supporting VST or RTAS. The plug-in will be further developed by IOSONO, as Robert Steffens, the company's director of software development, states: "The feedback we received from audio professionals regarding Anymix was really positive. We'll continue to create high-quality surround mixing solutions for our customers, and we're already working on Anymix Pro 2, supporting Avid's new AAX format."
