Version 13 offers Master and Album Audio Montage functions for more precise and easier completion of immersive projects. Master simplifies ADM file import and editing, applying processing, normalization and re-rendering while preserving spatial object information. Album helps organize multiple ADM files into a complete album master. Users can view clips in formats from stereo to 9.1.6, and the display can update automatically to match the Dolby Atmos renderer.

Other features include loudness and TruePeak normalization across multiple ADM files; A/B comparison; multicore processor support for simultaneous Audio Montage tasks; and an updated MasterRig 2 plug-in suite with new processing modules, sidechain support and an improved interface. VocalChain is designed for vocal and speech processing. Audio can be routed directly to track plug-ins with sidechain support. Color coding helps users navigate clips and tracks. The update also adds expanded VST 3 compatibility, Pitch Shifter and Underwater plug-ins, interface scaling, instant plug-in removal and more.
