1. A computer-implemented method, comprising:
retrieving, by a first user device, audio content from an audio source;
mapping, by the first user device, a digital visualization of the audio content onto a virtual model to generate a virtual event, wherein the virtual model is a representation of a venue;
comparing, by the first user device, visualizations of audio layouts to illustrate studio-to-venue translation;
generating, by the first user device, a virtual event view, the generating comprising:
assessing a source location and audio signal properties of the audio content;
mapping the audio content to a unique direction, color, or shape of a volumetric light beam; and
overlaying a visualization of the audio content at a location of the venue onto a static scene of the venue in any of: an extended reality, virtual reality, augmented reality, or mixed reality environment;
receiving, by the first user device, a first user input for audio metering interactions with the virtual event; and
updating the virtual event view based on the first user input.
