Is there a plugin that shows "spatial mixing maps" where I visually place tracks in a stereo or 3D field and see all the sources together?


My concept is essentially:
-each track has a plugin instance,
-all instances communicate,
-I get one global visual soundstage/panorama map,
-I can position sounds spatially,
-sometimes with depth/front-back simulation too

I mean it is for mixing/mastering purposes.

You might want to be a bit more specific, otherwise you’ll just get a list of plugins that are only loosely related to what you’re after. Are you thinking something like Dolby Atmos in Logic, or more of a visual stereo/3D panning mixer?

 

Dear Reality dearVR PRO 2 v2.0.0-R2R

This is perhaps the most popular choice. It gives you a 3D coordinate system where you can drag your sound sources.
It handles the complex math of distance (air absorption), elevation, and room reflections automatically.

Flux Spat Revolution v1.1.0.48000 HAPPY NEW YEAR-R2R

This is the most advanced option. It includes a "Nebula" spatial spectrogram that shows you exactly where energy is concentrated in a 360° field. It’s used primarily in high-end sound installations and film.

 

In case of, no need to crack anything from DearVR since 2024 or so. All their products are now free on Senheiser site.

Edit : You didn't answer Clone's question, but if you're not in real 3D mixing, Izotope visual mixer is what you describe but in 2D. And free if not mistaken.
