End-of-Life Notice for Oculus Spatializer Plugin
The Oculus Spatializer Plugin has been replaced by the Meta XR Audio SDK and is now in end-of-life stage. It will not receive any further support beyond v47. We strongly discourage its use. Please navigate to the Meta XR Audio SDK documentation for your specific engine:
- Meta XR Audio SDK for Unity Native
- Meta XR Audio SDK for FMOD and Unity
- Meta XR Audio SDK for Wwise and Unity
- Meta XR Audio SDK for Unreal Native
- Meta XR Audio SDK for FMOD and Unreal
- Meta XR Audio SDK for Wwise and Unreal
This documentation is no longer being updated and is subject for removal.
This section discusses DAW-specific caveats and issues for the Oculus Spatializer Plugin.
The Oculus Spatializer DAW plugin is a full stereo effect (Left/Right in, Left/Right out). It will only process the incoming Left channel and allow you to move this monophonic signal through 3D space. Some DAWs will work properly when assigning a stereo effect to a monophonic channel, while others will require workarounds.
Up to 64 sounds running through the bus may be spatialized.

Ableton Live 9.1.7
Yes
Adobe Audition 8.1
Yes
Yes
PreSonus Studio One 2.6.5
Partial
Mono track not supported. Use a stereo track; the plugin will collapse channels to mono automatically. You may also send the mono track to the plugin as a send/return effect instead of as an insert effect.
Reaper 6.5
Yes
Multicore usage must be turned off when rendering out an ambisonic stream. This can be set by navigating to: Options > Preferences > Buffering and setting Audio reading/processing threads to 0.
Steinberg Nuendo 6.5 / Steinberg Cubase 8
Partial
Placing a stereo insert effect onto a mono track is not supported.
  • Solution 1) Place your mono sound on a stereo track, with the OSP as an insert effect.
  • Solution 2) Convert your mono source into a stereo source. Currently, the left channel of the source will be affected; there is no right channel selection or stereo to mono collapse feature in the plugin.
  • Solution 3) Use a stereo send from a mono source.
