Which DAW Is Actually Leading Immersive Audio Right Now?

In this video I'm ranking all the major DAWs based on the immersive audio features they've added throughout 2025 and early 2026. We start with the platforms that still have no native immersive support at all — including FL Studio, Bitwig, Luna, Reason, and Ableton — and work our way up through Mixbus, Reaper, Fender Studio Pro, Cubase, Nuendo, and Logic Pro 12, which impressed with Apple Music Spatial Preview Export, binaural head-tracking support, and native iPhone spatial recording integration.

But the real surprise at the top of the list is Avid Pro Tools. With native Sony 360 Reality Audio and Audio Vivid integration, plus their new multi-format spatial session architecture that lets you work in Atmos, 360 RA, and Audio Vivid simultaneously within a single session, Pro Tools has quietly established itself as the clear leader in immersive audio. Whether you expected it or not, if immersive production is becoming a bigger part of your work, Pro Tools is the one to watch right now.
