I ranked every major DAW by the immersive audio features added in 2025 and early 2026 — from platforms with zero native support all the way to the surprising leader at the top of the list. Spoiler: Avid Pro Tools has quietly pulled ahead of the pack with native multi-format spatial session architecture, Sony 360 RA integration, and Audio Vivid support.

In this video, I demonstrate how to set up and use Headitude, a free macOS application that captures head tracking data from Apple AirPods and guides you through integration with both Dolby Atmos Renderer and Cubase/Nuendo. I explain the unique features of Headitude, including its position maintenance and flexible OSC message formatting, while showing how Windows users can benefit from this setup by using an Apple Silicon Mac as an audio interface.
