We are happy to announce the new release of the ZYLIA 6DoF Recording Application in version 1.0.0 for Linux and macOS. This application is a part of the ZYLIA 6DoF Navigable Audio solution (ZYLIA 6DoF VR/AR set). It replaces the command line toolkit for the recording and synchronization process. For your comfort, this application has a graphical user interface, so there is no need to use the command line anymore.  

This application offers all features of the ZYLIA 6DoF Recording Toolkit such as:​

• Recording of 6DoF content from an unlimited number of ZYLIA ZM-1S microphones. Or up to 3000 channels on a single computer.
• ZYLIA ZM-1S microphones identification via LED.
• Manual or automatic microphones position configuration.
• Import or export of microphone configuration.
• LED control on all connected ZYLIA ZM-1S microphones. It is possible to turn on/off the LED on all of part of the microphones.
• Sample by sample synchronization of recorded material from any number of recordings. It gives the high sampling precision necessary for full VR / 6DoF content production.

Additionally, there are added few new features.

• During recording, the VU meters of each microphone is shown on the recording screen.
• Additionally, during recording, you can take notes about the recorded take, which will be saved in a certain directory together with audio.
• Automatic management of the location of the raw and synchronized signal.
• Disconnecting the microphone during recording no longer causes a crash of the recording process.

We are happy to announce the new release of ZYLIA ZM-1 drivers for Windows 10 (v2.1.0). Version for Windows 7 will be released in the future.
 
New features:

• Option to redirect audio output from an application that uses the driver to another audio device. This is mostly useful for monitoring recorded audio in DAWs. To use it, simply open ZYLIA Control Panel before recording and select the device which you want to use. In your DAW's settings, you should see which device will be used. Then use the monitoring feature of your DAW. Please note, that using other ASIO devices for monitoring is not supported. Also, changing the output device during recording will cause dropouts as the audio subsystem will be restarted.

Bug fixes:

• Additional system packages are now installed in the background and do not fail if are already installed.

We are happy to announce the new release of the ZYLIA Streaming Application (v1.0.1).
With this version, we fixed the problem with streaming via the OBS plugin, when OBS is in stereo mode.

We are happy to announce the very first release of ZYLIA Streaming Application v1.0 for macOS. This is our new solution for quick and easy setting-up live streaming of your music performance in the Ambisonics format. The core of this application is ZYLIA Ambisonics Converter that converts the ZM-1 multi-channel recordings into Higher Order Ambisonics (HOA).
​
With this tool, you can stream your audio content directly in HOA format (1st, 2nd, and 3rd order) or Binaural format by using an additional binauralization plugin. It can be easily configured with streaming software like OBS (Open Broadcaster Software) that allows combining your audio stream with a video stream and transmitting directly to most of the well-known multimedia platforms (e.g. YouTube, Facebook, Twitch, etc.). Also in addition to this application, we provide the beta OBS Plugin which is able to get direct output from ZYLIA Streaming Application, without using any virtual sound card. 

​ZYLIA Streaming Application will be available as an addition to all packages that contain the ZYLIA Ambisonics Converter plugin, eg. the ZYLIA PRO Ambisonics package.

​We are happy to announce the release of ZYLIA 6DoF HOA Renderer for Max MSP v2.0. (macOS, Windows).

​This software is a key element of ZYLIA 6DoF Navigable Audio system. It allows you to reproduce the sound field in a given location based on Ambisonics signals recorded with ZM-1S microphones. The plugin works in Max/MSP environment so you can use this tool directly in your project. Please refer to the provided example project with our plugin and the manual for ZYLIA 6DoF HOA Renderer.

The newest ZYLIA 6DoF HOA Renderer for Max/MSP has a lot of improvements.

The new User Interface can be accessed in a separate window – it allows you to set up the whole configuration directly in the plugin, without using the message mechanism of Max/MSP. The UI allows you also to lock the microphones’ positions, preventing the ​unintentional change of the scene configuration.  

​ 
The next thing is an increased number of supported signals, right now you can pass up to 30 HOA signals to the plugin, and create a 6DoF experience on much larger scenes.
 
If you would like to test this plugin, you can also use a 7-day free trial, and play around with our 6DoF audio rendering algorithm. The test recording data for the plugin can be found on our webpage.
