Sound Particles 3 Artist is the edition for emerging artists: a standalone immersive audio workstation with a 3D engine and particle system, for up to 100 particles and six microphone channels per project.

Sound Particles 3 works like a CGI engine for sound: a single sample becomes many sound sources, known as particles, which you arrange in three-dimensional space, animate and capture with virtual microphones. Thanks to the format-agnostic session, a scene can be rendered to another format without upmixing simply by changing the microphone type, with mono, stereo, multichannel, Ambisonics or binaural microphones. Third-party effect plug-ins can be used at clip, track and microphone level, and tools such as trim, gain, fades and a dedicated audio editor complete the workflow. The Artist edition allows up to 100 particles and up to six microphone channels per project.
