Sound object control and automation brings powerful spatial audio capabilities to live and streaming environments. From DAW integration to network management, understanding these tools enables precise control over object-based mixing in d&b Soundscape systems.

The d&b Soundscape plugin seamlessly integrates with major Digital Audio Workstations, supporting VST, AU, and AAX formats. Running on the same network as the DS 100 processor, the plugin sends remote commands while the processor handles the intensive calculations. This architecture ensures efficient CPU usage and reliable performance during live productions.

Positioning planes configured in ArrayCalc provide flexible mapping zones for sound object control. Multiple positioning planes allow for different scaling options - from venue-wide movement to precise stage positioning. This granular control enables worship leaders to create immersive experiences by precisely placing musical elements and spoken word across the sound field.

nBridge serves as a central control hub for complex Soundscape setups, managing multiple control sources like consoles, DAWs, and tracking systems. This free software allows technical directors to set permissions for different controllers, preventing conflicts between automated and live-operated sound objects. Debug features help troubleshoot network traffic and verify object movements, ensuring smooth operation during services.
