Sound Particles 3 Enterprise Academic with AI Assistance & FREE Doppler Plug-In (Download)

Say hello to Sound Particles 3, your new playground for bold ideas, massive scale, and mind-bending sound design. Whether crafting cinematic soundscapes, sculpting immersive environments, or pushing the limits of audio in music, games, or film — Sound Particles 3 lets you multiply, move, randomize, and render sounds in ways no other tool can.

This Isn’t Just an Update. It’s a Full-On Evolution.

What is Sound Particles 3?
Sound Particles 3 is a standalone immersive audio workstation powered by a 3D engine and a particle system. In plain terms? It’s like having a CGI engine for sound. Create thousands — even millions — of sounds based on a single sample. Arrange them in space. Animate them. Capture them with virtual microphones. Export in any format you like.

• Object Budgeting: Specify a max amount of objects that you want to support. It'll handle the rest, selecting which particles should become objects, and which ones should be rendered as beds.
• Chat-Like AI Assistance: Need a 5.1 microphone or to add a subtle movement? Our built-in AI assistant helps you get things done — type your instructions, and it takes care of the rest!
• Virtual Instruments: Any format. Instantly. Load any virtual instrument — synths, samplers, drum machines — and assign them to your particles. Yes, even your piano can now orbit the listener.

Other Features include:

• Particles: Generate thousands of sounds playing at once, based on your input source file. Scalability made easier.
• Immersive Workflow: Define the position and movement of your sounds freely in an endless tridimensional space.

• Format-Agnostic Session: With the ability to change formats with a click, compose and produce your music without constraints - we speak them all.
• Happy Accidents: Inspire yourself by randomizing your vocal harmony particles, their gain, their position and much more. Randomize responsibly.
• Massive Soundtracks: Turn one sample into a thousand-layered cinematic texture. Create crowds, battlefields, or harmony stacks in seconds.
• Virtual Microphones: Add multiple mics in your workspace to capture sounds from multiple angles and perspectives. Just like in a studio.
• Moving Microphones: With virtual microphones, you can render your session in any audio format and give it movement as if it were a camera.
• Stereo Microphones: Instead of basic gain panning, create stereo mic setups like Decca Tree or ORTF for precise gain and time-based panning.

Chat-Like AI Assistant

The first AI Assistant to truly control a DAW.

• Control Everything: This AI Assistant can control almost every aspect of the software — just write what you want to do.
• Your New Tutor: New to Sound Particles or unsure where to start? The AI Assistant will guide you step by step.

Think Spatial

Even if you only work in stereo, Sound Particles 3 is format-agnostic.

• ADM Objects: Export object metadata to other DAW (budgets, reuse, prioritization). The highest resolution for sound designers.
• Point and Pan: Use your phone as a laser pointer to position sounds around you in 3D, in an easy, fast and, above all, fun way.
• 3D Audio Over Headphones: No 7.1.4 room? Render your session in Binaural for client approval. Or simply use headphones to listen to your session in 3D.
• High Order Ambisonics: With support for up to 6th Order Ambisonics, Sound Particles 3 is able to import and export any Ambisonics format.
• SOFA (Binaural): Import your SOFA file with your personalized HRTF or simply pick one of the existing HRTF datasets.
• Ambisonics Decoder: Listen to your Ambisonics projects in any speaker setup or headphones, in real-time.

The Art of Spatial Music

Your creativity, without barriers.

• MIDI Track Modes: Switch between Instrument, MIDI or Instrument + Particles modes to change how your track behaves.
• Instrumental Particles: (Coming Soon) Turn your VI into particles and define its position, movement and audio modifiers. Ethereal or messy, you choose.
• Virtual Instruments: Instantiate your favorite virtual instrument in any format you like - let it be stereo, 5.1, 9.1.6 or any other output format.
• Piano Roll: Shape every note with precision. Edit, move, trim, duplicate, snap, and quantize your MIDI in the Piano Roll.
• Fine-Tune MIDI: Quantize, cut, copy, paste, duplicate, trim, move, merge, select, and split — everything you need to edit MIDI quickly and precisely.
• Audio Recording: Record, edit, and perfect. Track your audio with precision and flexibility, ready for any workflow.

Epic Sound Design

More sound design, less copy paste.

• 1M+ Particles: Create thousands of sounds, aka particles, playing at the same time - from a big battle to 1000 Taiko drums all around you.
• Movement & Audio Modifiers: With a click, apply physics-based movement and audio modifiers for added diversity. Boost the psycho-acoustic impact.

BONUS ThinkEDU Exclusive: Includes Sound Particles Doppler Academic (Download) FREE (A $99 Value)
Doppler is a professional audio plugin, for sound design and audio post-production. Perfect for simulating the physical behavior of sound moving through the air, turning your mix into an incredibly immersive sonic experience.

Doppler simulates the behavior of objects moving through air, providing audio with highly accurate characteristics of sounds passing-by. With control of all parameters that physically affect pitch, level and EQ in a real world situation, Doppler gives you the most natural sounding emulation for your work.

Features include:

Highly Accurate Doppler
Accurate means Natural - because the brain knows what is natural and what is fake, you need the most accurate tools. Doppler plugin uses the same engine of Sound Particles, used in many Hollywood studios for creating the most natural sounding Doppler effects, but now available as a plugin.

Support for Immersive Audio
Simply select between different microphones, ranging from mono (omni, cardioid, figure-of-eight), stereo (MS, XY, ORTF, Blumlein, AB), 5.1, 7.1, 9.1 Dolby Atmos bed, or Ambisonics (up to 3rd order). The best Doppler for the best audio formats.

Perfect Image Sync
Specify the time where you want the peak of the Doppler, and all other parameters will adjust to get the perfect sync with the image.

Including Distance EQ
Besides volume and pitch, Doppler plugin also applies the perfect frequency response you would get from air dampening thru distance.

World Units
Do you prefer “meters” or “feet”? “Mph" or "km/h"? Full integration with Imperial and Metric units, for an easy and more welcoming workflow for everyone.

Control Surfaces
Use control surfaces (such as AVID S6) to edit the plug-ins' parameters.
