Backnang, Germany (October 5, 2026)—d&b audiotechnik Soundscape has long been the company’s object-based spatial audio and room emulation platform, and now there’s a new version: vCore, a standalone Soundscape software processing engine, allowing users to work in Soundscape without needing a physical processing engine or a loudspeaker system.

Instead, using the d&b Create.Control software and a pair of headphones, users can create and experience binaural spatial audio output on the go. The result is that users can plan and pre-listen to their projects virtually anywhere.
vCore is integrated within Create.Control v1.4, allowing users to prepare and audition their mixes from their preferred DAW in binaural. vCore supports up to 64 inputs and provides a two-channel binaural rendering that can be experienced via headphones; it can also be streamed in applications such as webinars and broadcasts.
