That is correct, but since 2018 we've expanded the software to be a fully spatialized sound engine ready to compete with Wwise, Fmod, MetaSound, etc.

Not at all – our authoring tool (Elias Studio) is made for composers and sound designers. If you happen to be a programmer we have generous APIs and wrappers to help you build tools and custom workflows.

Support comes in a few different forms. At it's most basic we have an interactive manual, tutorials and a open for all Discord community. If your needs go deeper we offer support via email, video calls, shared chat rooms or on site visits - we can adapt to what suits you!
