Neumann VIS Lets You Create Immersive Audio In Apple Vision Pro
Neumann has introduced VIS (Virtual Immersive Studio), a spatial audio positioning controller application designed for Apple Vision Pro.
VIS lets you intuitively control Logic Pro in a three-dimensional augmented reality environment. Instead of relying on abstract 2D interfaces, you can now see, touch, and move sound sources in three-dimensional space. Audio objects appear as visual elements in augmented reality, allowing you to position them naturally with hand gestures.
“VIS is not just an app — it’s a new way of thinking about sound,” says Neumann CEO Yasmine Riechers. “It brings immersive audio to life, making it tangible and intuitive.
VIS connects directly to Logic Pro on Mac, appearing as a device within the application. Once paired, users can view Logic Pro on a virtual screen inside Apple Vision Pro, resize it, and place it anywhere in their environment. Thanks to Apple Vision Pro’s low-latency pass-through technology, users can interact with their physical equipment while immersed in a virtual mixing space.
VIS supports both loudspeaker and headphone monitoring. For mobile or headphone-based workflows, it includes RIME, Neumann’s proprietary plug-in for spatial audio playback up to 7.1.4. RIME leverages Apple Vision Pro’s advanced head tracking to deliver an exceptionally realistic monitoring experience, making immersive production possible in any setting — from professional studios to remote locations.
“With VIS, we wanted to make immersive audio mixing feel as natural as playing an instrument,” says Jorma Marquardt, Product Manager at Neumann. “By combining spatial computing with intuitive gesture control, we’re giving creators a tool that turns technical workflows into expressive, creative experiences. It’s not just about mixing sound — it’s about shaping it in space.
Features:
- 3D visual interface for spatial mixing on Apple Vision Pro
- Gesture-based positioning of sound sources
- Full integration with Logic Pro on Mac
- Visual overview of all audio objects
- 3 degrees of freedom head tracking
- Support for loudspeaker and headphone monitoring via RIME
System Requirements: Apple Vision Pro with visionOS 26 or newer, Mac with macOS 26 or newer, Logic Pro 11.2 or newer, Devices must be connected to the same Wi-Fi network.
Neumann VIS is available now as a free download.
