armada Black Friday pricing from Fiedler Audio is 36% off, $158 until Dec 6, 2026. This VST3 armada plugin wraps your effects so they can process immersive formats, from mono and stereo up to 128 channels.
The maker describes armada as an immersive plug-in wrapper for any format. You load a VST3 effect inside it, and armada spreads that effect across the channel layout you are mixing in.
That covers Dolby Atmos mixes, Higher Order Ambisonics, Auro 3D, Eclipsa and any layout from mono to 9.1.6 to NHK 22.2.
You get your VST3 plug-in arsenal on formats those plugins were never built for. Load a compressor, EQ or reverb into armada and it processes the whole layout, not just a stereo pair.
The maker says the workflow is quick and keeps the overview in complex mixing scenarios.
A channel mixer lets you finetune the output signal.
In the Dolby Atmos Composer and the Mastering Console, armada loads as an OBAM plug-in on the Master Channel. The maker says this is the only way to process an entire Dolby Atmos mix with any VST3 effect in one instance.
In a DAW, armada loads as VST3, AU or AAX.
Groups let you split channels in a meaningful way and give each group its own effect settings. Global groups link any number of armada instances across a session.
The sidechain mixer sets what reaches the sidechain input of the loaded VST3 plug-in. That makes linked processing possible, such as dynamics across a whole format.
The built-in preset system splits channels into groups quickly. You can save your own grouping presets and reuse them across mixing and mastering sessions.
A demanding VST3 plug-in on a multichannel layout can be CPU-hungry. armada has a multithreaded audio processing engine, and you set the number of threads per instance to suit the session.
The external sidechain input takes up to 64 channels, depending on your DAW.
