SPACEHUB Producer vs VirtualDJ

SPACEHUB Producer is free audio software for creating immersive sound fields in pre-production, studios, smaller projects, and education. It accepts up to 128 input channels from audio interfaces or computer playback and routes objects through 16 output channels. Inputs or groups can become objects positioned anywhere in three-dimensional space, either fixed or moving. Selectable 3D panning algorithms and an advanced reverb engine shape each object. MIDI or OSC can trigger snapshots, routines, and movement, with adjustable snapshot fade times. VST3, AU, AAX, and AAX-DSP plugins provide automation and control. The software works with PosiStageNet and performer tracking systems. Stereo, mono, auxiliary, and headphone-monitoring downmixes are available, and loudspeaker layouts can be imported from System Optimiser. It runs on Windows and macOS. The listed plan is free, covering 128 inputs, 16 outputs, and up to 128 objects. Access to version 2.0 requires a form, email consent, and a password sent by email.
