Update! Spacelab Version 1.1.0 is ready for Download



Fiedler Audio/ Germany, May 31st, 2022 - Fiedler Audio, the German reverb professionals and renowned specialists for outstanding „space-in-audio creation tools“ today announced the immediate availability of Spacelab 1.1.0, the first and very important major update of Spacelab, available directly from www.fiedler-audio.com.

The following features have been added to both Spacelab Interstellar and Spacelab Ignition:

1) The volume of each object source can now be controlled with a new parameter called Volume from inside Spacelab, speeding up your spatial mixing workflow.


2) The internal binauralizer of Spacelab now features three modes. The options Space - R, Space - E and Space - O offer different overall tonal characters. Depending on your content you now have the choice of what sounds best for your monitoring and your binaural production.


3) Due to a bug in Pro Tools, Spacelab Beam does not receive the correct time information from Pro Tools during playback. When other plugins with latency are on the same track in insert slots before Beam, this issue leads to your tracks loosing synch. To remedy this, you can manually input that latency in the about screen of Spacelab Beam in Pro Tools. More details about this coming soon.


4) Now you can predefine a default value for Beam Gain in the Spacelab Beam Plugin. Just open the About Screen and type in the desired default level.

We want to hear from you!

Spacelab opens an entire new world for audio, music production, and sound design. And we would like to know about this world, meaning, if you have any projects you’d be willing to share with us, via social media or download, we are very curious about how you use Spacelab. We might showcase some projects on our channels, and also if you have questions, feel free to reach out to us.

Best practices for using Spacelab are just coming together as we go producing with this new exciting tool. There was and still isn’t anything like Spacelab.

About Fiedler Audio
Fiedler Audio stands for the highest quality in sound and design. Founded in 2013 in Munich, Germany, Fiedler Audio is dedicated to the creation of professional music and audio software for Mac, PC, and mobile devices. The company’s mission is to provide extraordinary audio production tools for musicians, DJs, audio engineers, and producers. Be it in the studio, at an event or gig, at home on the sofa, or in the park – Fiedler Audio software opens up new creative horizons.

Fiedler Audio is also the one that provides the reverb engine for the acclaimed Brainworx bx_rooMS plug-in and the unique „stage“ plug-in that gives mixes that final shine and depth, heard on countless records, drawing out any hidden details and character. By leveraging subtle delays, internal phase augmentation, and modulation techniques, „stage“ emphasizes the natural depth and space of any natural recording or synthesized element. The result is an increase in overall definition and perceived size – all elusive qualities that in the end contribute to a type of sonic „gravitas“ that will quickly become indispensable to any audio toolkit. Also, Fiedler Audio was the first to bring hi-class, professional studio „hardware-grade“ reverb software to iOS and Rack Extension platforms in the form of the AD 480 Reverb.

Fiedler Audio releases Spacelab: A groundbreaking 3D audio featured object-based plug-in for reverb, panning, and spatialization. For any DAW, for all formats, from stereo up to any multichannel setup. Co-developed with Fraunhofer IIS, the inventors of mp3

Fiedler Audio/ Germany, April 20th, 2022 - Fiedler Audio, the German reverb professionals and renowned specialists for outstanding „space-in-audio creation tools“ today announced the immediate availability of Spacelab, a 3D spatial audio production plug-in, available directly from www.fiedler-audio.com.

A unique set of tools for next-generation audio production
Whether for music, film/video, broadcast, games, or VR/AR, Spacelab opens up a revolutionary new way of putting all of your tracks into the right acoustic perspective. Spacelab combines state-of-the-art reverb, 3D-panning, and spatialization in one plug-in - providing access to the world of 3D audio for anyone on any DAW. The plug-in treats incoming audio as objects, which are positioned in the space of a virtual room. That room creates a stunning reverberation of these objects. The objects plus their reverb are then rendered to any desired output format, ranging from stereo up to any 3D-audio format, be it for speakers or for headphones via binaural rendering. Spacelab is fully compatible with Dolby Atmos and MPEG-H workflows.


Spacelab, of course, may be used as a classic send and return reverb effect, but, the object-based approach actually unlocks Spacelab’s full capabilities for workflow and for sound design. Providing easy control over object positioning and a virtual "listener", which can be moved around freely, Spacelab facilitates creative workflows for music, film, broadcast, VR/AR, games, etc. Rendering the reverb for each object individually, depending on its position, creates a unique sonic landscape with amazing detail and realism which is impossible to generate with any channel-based reverb.


What’s more: Spacelab provides a studio environment for you to mix in
Get the studio experience while mixing on headphones. The internal binaural renderer of Spacelab can be used for monitoring as well as for production. Any speaker layout can be rendered to headphones enabling mixers to monitor and work anywhere. Producing for binaural reproduction provides every producer and musician with the opportunity to start projects with 3D audio and distribute later to everyone, even in mp3 and AAC.


Beam me up!
Spacelab Beam is the „transporter“ plug-in to Spacelab. Beam makes it super easy to send the tracks of your choice into Spacelab’s 3D spatial audio environment and turns the tracks into audio objects. With Beam, even DAWs with „just“ stern architecture can be enhanced with full 3D spatial audio.


Interstellar and Ignition
Spacelab comes in two iterations. Spacelab Interstellar and Spacelab Ignition. To get going with great reverb and the possibility of expanding audio tracks into 3D audio objects, Spacelab Ignition is the perfect tool for music producers and any audio content creators that want to be able to position sounds in space, leaving the stereo field. Ignition supports up to 24 independent objects.

For those who want it all — Spacelab Interstellar is the product of choice for up to 256 independent audio objects in space. The reverb section provides a unique spectral EQ to shape the reverb sounds in detail and also provides unique features like „spread in space“ which lets the creator define the size of audio objects in space.


Martin Rieger, a renowned expert for immersive media, specializing in XR with 3D spatial audio spent already some quality time with Spacelab and told us:
„What makes Spacelab outstanding is that it is so easy to use on the one hand and can be so complex on the other. The innovative workflow allows creative possibilities and combinations that I don't know from any other tool. Due to Spacelab, I gained new inspiration about mixing in 3d space and had a blast during the whole process.“
