Envelop for Live (E4L) is a collection of free, open-source immersive audio production tools that work with Ableton Live 10 Suite*. E4L enables artists and designers to create spatial mixes for Envelop venues or any multichannel audio environment, as well as headphone-based VR/AR applications. We believe that immersive sound is the future of audio production. Listening, from within the music, amplifies the emotional, creative and collective impact of sound.

E4L is used for the spatialization of spherical sound in all Envelop venues, yet it can also work with any DIY speaker array (4 speakers minimum) or even normal headphones. E4L creates an open and accessible path for artists, producers, and designers, to create immersive audio and utilize space as a compositional element.



Using E4L with your own DIY immersive speaker array, is not an Envelop listening space, however we’re excited to support your experiments and potential future collaborations with Envelop. In addition, Envelop nonprofit does not take responsibility for anything created with E4L, unless E4L-produced content is agreed to be used as an Envelop experience within an Envelop listening space. If you have immersive music to share as a listening event, VR/MR experience, or performance in an Envelop venue, please submit a proposal here.



*We no longer support E4L with Live 9, and there are no plans to create a VST or make E4L work with other DAWs, but we support that effort.

E4L is not officially supported on Windows systems. It may work, but some users report sporadic issues.
