This direct access to timeline and track controls makes mixing in VR not only possible but incredibly efficient.

Advanced Spatialization With Immersive Environments
Each sound source in dearVR SPATIAL CONNECT corresponds to a dearVR PRO track in your DAW, giving you control over spatial position and acoustic virtualization.
