Welcome to the next dimension of sound design.

If you're a sound designer, game audio pro, film composer, or audio engineer pushing the boundaries of immersive sound, Sound Particles 3 is about to change the way you work dramatically.

This isn’t just an update. It’s an evolution.

Sound Particles 3 is a standalone immersive audio workstation powered by a real-time 3D engine and particle system; think of it as a CGI engine for sound. It lets you create, manipulate, and render sound at scale in ways that simply weren’t possible before.

What Is Sound Particles 3?

Sound Particles 3 takes a simple concept using particles to generate sound and transforms it into a creative powerhouse. Imagine generating millions of sound instances from a single audio sample. Picture them moving, shifting, colliding, or floating across a virtual 3D space. Now capture those sounds with virtual microphones, render them in Dolby Atmos, Ambisonics, or even stereo, and export in your chosen format.

All of that without the limitations of traditional DAWs.

Whether you’re designing cinematic soundscapes, building video game environments, or experimenting with AI-assisted audio workflows, Sound Particles 3 is built to scale your creativity, not constrain it.

What’s New in Sound Particles 3?

• 20x Faster Performance: The engine has been completely re-engineered; it’s now up to 20 times faster. That means bigger scenes, quicker renders, and smoother workflows.
• Plugin Support: You can now integrate your favorite FX plugins directly into Sound Particles 3. Bring your existing tools into a whole new environment.
• ADM Support + Object Budgeting: Create Dolby Atmos ADM files, set object limits, and let Sound Particles manage your beds and objects automatically. Perfect for theatrical releases and streaming specs.
• AI Assistant (Yes, Like ChatGPT!): Stuck on mic setup? Need subtle panning or reverb? Just type it out. The built-in AI assistant will take care of the details so you can focus on creativity.
• Virtual Instruments That Move: Drop in your favorite VST instruments, assign them to particles, and watch (and hear) your piano orbit the listener. Yes, it’s as cool as it sounds.

Standout Features You Won’t Find Elsewhere

• Particles Engine: Spawn thousands of sound instances at once from a single sample. Great for crowds, gunshots, rain, or ambiance.
• 3D Audio Control: Position and animate every sound in endless 3D space.
• Randomization Tools: Randomize gain, pitch, timing, and location to create unique variations with every playback.
• Virtual + Moving Microphones: Capture and move your sounds in space as if you were holding a physical mic in a studio.
• CGI Integration: Sync your 3D animations with sound effortlessly.
• High-Order Ambisonics + SOFA: Render your spatial audio for any format or personalize it with custom HRTF.
• Stereo Microphones Setup: Create advanced stereo mic arrangements like Decca Tree or ORTF.
• Batch Rendering: Render multiple variations of files with a single click, ideal for SFX libraries or trailers.

Not Just for Dolby Atmos: Think Spatial, Even in Stereo

Even if you’re mixing in stereo, Sound Particles 3 lets you think in 3D.

Use binaural rendering to hear your immersive scene on regular headphones. Export ADM objects to your favorite DAW. Or use your smartphone as a spatial pointer to position sounds around your head in real-time.

It’s immersive audio without the need for a 7.1.4 room.

Designed for Speed and Simplicity
