L-Acoustics Becomes Platinum Partner with VectorworksL-Acoustics reports that it is the first professional audio manufacturer to attain platinum partner status with Vectorworks. According to a company spokesperson, "This means that L-Acoustics has worked with Vectorworks to create a bridge between their CAD software and Soundvision. As you likely know, most production professionals use Vectorworks to design their shows -- including the venue itself and all of the equipment, from seating, staging, and trussing to lighting and speakers. Currently, you can use Vectorworks to drop in L-Acoustics speakers (and those of other brands), but you only get a visual placement and not the sonic prediction of a sound system. "Now, with L-Acoustics being a platinum partner, you can export a show design from Vectorworks and import it directly into Soundvision [L-Acoustics' 3D sound design and mapping too]. Then all you need to do is place your speakers and get the coverage predictions. This will make the workflow process easier and faster for show designers, allowing them to work natively and seamlessly with the tools that they already prefer." Maxime Démurger, application design engineer at L-Acoustics, who led the integration project, says "We are committed to offering sound designers a seamless and efficient workflow. Attaining platinum partner status through this Soundvision integration is the first step in a long-term partnership that will offer more interoperability between our tools and provide more precise 3D sound modeling." To illustrate, L-Acoustics has uploaded a how-to tutorial video that can be found on its YouTube channel. View it at: youtu.be/2T7M2ZO0MQk.
