For mixing music in Dolby Atmos, I’m trying to understand if there’s a problem with panning into object beds or actual beds instead of panning Atmos objects. From what I understand of the binaural rendering algorithm, does phantom center really translate to binaural? I’ll explain why and give audio examples. But I could be wrong! I asked this question on the Dolby forum: professionalsupport.dol...

It took a lot of research, mulling, and a push from a popular pop track, but I finally decided on a way to affordably upgrade the four overhead (height) speakers in my 7.1.4 Atmos mixing setup. I'm happy with the results!

Three out of four of my predictions were correct, but more importantly, Nuendo 12 will be a win for all of us mixing music in Atmos. www.balladeerstudio.com/

In a few days, Steinberg will livestream an introduction to the new features in Nuendo 12. What will this update mean for Atmos mixers? In this video, Leo makes his personal predictions on these questions: #1: Will the Dolby plugin be able to render binaural audio, using Dolby's algorithm? #2: Will the Renderer export MP4, like the Production Suite does? #3: Will the Renderer include an LUFS me...

The Control Room, a feature of Cubase Pro and Nuendo opens up a whole world of useful features both for recoding and mixing. This video looks at how to set up Control Room with a particular focus on multitrack mixing including Dolby Atmos. With Control Room, you can apply plugins specifically for monitoring without interfering with your mix, simplify switching between stereo and multichannel pr...

This video also shows how to export an ADM BWF file from a Cubase or Nuendo project, for example, to send a song to a distribution service. The video also demonstrates how to import an ADM BWF file into the DAW, for example, if you want to listen to or edit an Atmos mix that someone else has created. Atmos ADM BWF files serve as the master format for a Dolby Atmos mix. They are not intended for...

Building an Atmos mix room is expensive, but if you know the right ways to make tradeoffs, you can get have all the critical features for a reasonable budget. This video covers the three perceived cost barriers to building an Atmos room. I show how I cobbled together a 7.1.4 speaker array, speaker management using my DAW (Cubase / Nuendo), and playback of streamed Atmos mixes via an inexpensive...

Object Beds and Cubase / Nuendo's multi-object feature are two approaches to positioning stereo or surround tracks within Atmos, using objects.

This video summarizes everything I've found about mixing the LFE channel in a Dolby Atmos mix for music. I also clear about a confusion about the LFE button in Cubase / Nuendo, and instead show how to create an LFE auxiliary channel (the technique used by everyone else).

There were some surprising twists in mapping the outputs of my Atmos enabled audio-video receiver to inputs in Steinberg Cubase / Nuendo, as well as tricks for moving from a 5.1.4 to 7.1.4 speaker array. www.balladeerstudio.com/

I discovered an excellent Atmos AV processor at an affordable price that's perfect for a small recording studio specializing in Atmos music: the Tone Winner AT-300. The receiver supports Atmos over 12 different speaker configurations up to 9.3.4 with line-level balanced XLR outputs. It's a great addition to my Atmos mixing and speaker setup. This video offers tips on integrating it with Steinbe...

When monitoring multi-channel mixes like Dolby Atmos, the speakers must be time-aligned so that sounds arrive at the listening position in phase. This is especially important with near-field monitoring, because the speakers usually vary in distance from the listening position. In keeping with the low-budget approach of this channel, I'll show you how to align speakers for a 7.1.4 setup using on...

You can't do much of anything in Cubase / Nuendo without routing, so it may seem like too basic a topic to cover. But often for me, when my setup isn't working the way I expected, it turns out to be an issue with routing. One point I forgot to make: if you're recording a mono source, but know that you will want stereo effects on the instrument, create a stereo channel and connect it to a mono i...
