Load armada as VST3, AU, AAX or OBAM plug-in into your favourite DAW or into the Master Channel in our Dolby Atmos Composer and our Mastering Console. The intuitive and rapid workflow helps you keep the overview even in the most complex and demanding mixing scenarios.
The Fiedler Audio workflow is what really sets it apart from others. You can keep your entire creative track creation open and available from the demo, to final, to stereo and Atmos mix. All while staying in your original creative DAW. Changing panning, levels, or effects never need to be compromised by getting locked into pre-mixes.
