Inside Orbit

Everything you need to sign it off.

Open the master, see what is in it, measure it, and prove it does what the spec says.

Inspect

Every object, in 3D

Know what is actually in the master, not what the paperwork says.

Audit an ADM object by object — beds and objects placed in space, solo any element, and check naming and metadata against the delivery spec.

ADM auditObject soloing3D scene

Measure

A full meter bridge

Confirm a master without leaving one bar.

Loudness by Cota to ITU-R BS.1770-5 — integrated, short-term, momentary and true peak — beside a real-time analyser, per-channel output meters and solo / mute groups. Export a PDF report when it lands on target.

Spot the problem channel at a glance.

Multichannel and spatial waveform views lay the entire programme out on a timeline, so you can scrub, spot and verify every channel.

Orbit’s multichannel waveform view — every channel of a 7.1.2 master laid out edge to edge on a timeline

Monitor

Binaural, tuned to your ears

An accurate fold-down on the headphones you actually own.

Head-tracked binaural with per-headphone EQ. Import your own .sofa profiles — Orbit keeps a copy and remembers your choice. Switch between multichannel, binaural, stereo and Apple Spatial, and export a binaural WAV when you need one.

Any layout

Output to any speaker layout

Your room, however unusual it is.

Build any layout up to 64 channels and monitor to it directly, switching between them from the sidebar without opening a window. Custom rigs are described once in OSLS, our open layout format, then patched to your interface with a full routing matrix.

Calibrate

Trust the room you’re in

Know the rig is right before you trust what you hear.

Set distance, delay and gain per speaker — once for the room, not once per layout. Click a speaker to hear pink noise from it alone, then save the whole rig as a named Room.

Minimum system requirements

These are floors — what the machine needs, not what the app uses. Its own footprint is a small fraction of the numbers below.

Operating system

macOS 14 (Sonoma) or later

Mac

Apple Silicon — M1 or later

Intel Macs are not supported. Orbit is built for Apple Silicon only.

Memory

8 GB RAM

Every Apple Silicon Mac ships with at least this. It is what the Mac needs, not what Orbit takes — the app sits at around 200 MB, rising to roughly 2 GB with a large master loaded.

Storage

1 GB free

The app itself is a fraction of this.

Activations

Two Macs per licence

The studio machine and a laptop, say. Sign out on a device whenever you like and its activation frees up straight away, ready to use somewhere else.

Licence & internet

Free trial: A continuous internet connection, for as long as the trial runs.
One-time licence: Works offline. It only has to reach us once every 30 days to stay active.
Subscription: Coming soon. A constant connection — the licence refreshes every 24 hours.

QC immersive audio with confidence.

One-time purchase, free updates within the major version.
