Man I am not afrait to admit I love Techno Dad. He works so hard . His regular gig, his DJ business, his TH-cam channel , making his own music and last but not least , the Spatial Audio CD. He does all that and is a genuinely good man. ❤❤❤❤🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thanks for breaking it down
Thank you for the kind words, Tristan. It's people like you that keep me going...and, Sleep is optional...
Dude is a gem. Has responded to every single question I've asked over the years.
Thank you!
This video was fantastic! Keep up the good work!
Thanks Asaf!
Wow. You have come a long way since I started watching your content in 2017. That is an impressive setup.
Ayyyy! Thank you so much. It has definitely been a roller coaster of a ride. Thank you for watching for so long, I truly appreciate it! Don't forget to set a rminder as I mix Atmos Live this Thursday - Reserve Your Seat - Live Atmos Mixing 6.29.23 - technodad.biz/AtmosMix
Awesome! 😎
Thank you Chana. 🙏🏻
Thank you for watching! Don't forget to set a reminder to watch me mix Atmos Live this Thursday at 5 pm PT - technodad.biz/AtmosMix
@@TechnoDad - Already did that over the weekend my friend.
Thanks for sharing those Dolby Atmos music tracks, Channa. 🙏
You’re very welcome! I will be mixing another track in Atmos and the livestream starts this Thursday at 5 pm PT - technodad.biz/AtmosMix
Woot woot! Live stream 8 pm on Thursday, your time - technodad.biz/AtmosMix
Great work
Thank you for watching! Don't forget to set a reminder to watch me mix Atmos Live this Thursday at 5 pm PT - technodad.biz/AtmosMix
Insanely cool man!!!
Thank you! If you liked this, set a reminder to watch me mix Atmos Live this Thursday at 5 pm PT - technodad.biz/AtmosMix
Good stuff, Channa. I dig that you use a table in the middle of the room for equidistant placement. That's the ideal.
Yup yup! It’s funny when I see pics of Atmos studios where the desk is right up on the front stage and the side surrounds are way behind the chair and the surround backs are even further back. Doesn’t make sense to me.
Awesome work bro👍👍
Thank you so much!
I can’t believe I thought I wanted to mix my own Atmos. I don’t now. Still a huge fan of listening to Atmos music mixes.
Yeah, it's quite the expense and then you have to figure out how to do it, and THEN you have to figure out how to do it to make is sound cool. Lots of layers. Don't forget to set a reminder to watch me mix Atmos Live this Thursday at 5 pm PT - technodad.biz/AtmosMix
Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it! Mix an Atmos track with me this Thursday - technodad.biz/AtmosMix
Anyone else chuckle when he said "around the room?" Something we've heard a few times haha! Great video and info!!
Hah! I chuckled when I was editing!
Yeah I just rebuilt my system last week during the move to my house so I could probably use this for tweaking the new speakers in the new theater room.
Woot woot! Don't forget to set a reminder to watch me mix Atmos Live this Thursday at 5 pm PT - technodad.biz/AtmosMix
I have the Denon AVRX3800H and am running 5.3.6 those 6 height speakers really make a difference to me I tried 7.3.4 but I like the 6 height speakers better!!
I believe it! I can't wait to get those installed in the studio. I have the speakers here, just a matter of getting my contractor friend over to do the instal. Don't forget to set a reminder to watch me mix Atmos Live this Thursday at 5 pm PT - technodad.biz/AtmosMix
I will sure watch it. I'm using the 3800H as preamp I have a emotiva BasX 7 and a Parasound 5 channel amp it works out great!
Thanks for your comment about enjoying six heights. I have a denon 4500 with a 7.2.4 system. I saw denon and marantz's new flagship AVRs can do 9.2.6. My listening area doesn't have room for more floor speakers, but was still considering the upgrade for the six heights.
@@uhoh7541I'm upgrading to 7.4.6 myself. My room 20x12 feet. 7.4.6 seems perfect for that size.
I just got into audio engineering. This is definitely a goal of mine. Especially being an artist.
Great video. Nice setup and great information.
Apple MacBook Pro & Apple AirPods Pro & Logic Pro X
Dolby ATMOS mixing lowest entry point w/o having to even purchase an audio interface.
Headphones & an actual Dolby ATMOS studio properly acoustically treated, calibrated for now, is the corect way to mix.
Again, your content is appreciated.
thank u so much for this video. Can u explain connection to subwoofer thr interface? if it doesnt have lfe input, then whats the solution?
That would be cool to hear a 5.1.2 atmos mix because I only have a 5.1.2 setup but plan to go up towards a 5.1.4 setup.
And great video as always :)
That's where I started as well, 5.1.2, and then a year later I added the rear height speakers. I may create that video soon as even I am interested in seeing what Atmos is doing when downmixing from 9.1.6 to 5.1.2. Thank you for watching!
excellent work channa
Thank you, Richard!
Upgrade Upgrade Yes!!!
Oh yeah!
Man your new release in Atmos is FANTASTIC 😮😮😮😮😮. It showed me that my setup is working just FINE. THE PROBLEM IS WITH THE MIXERS WHO DO DOLBY ATMOS!!!!!!!. Please keep sharing, I truly appreciate, and understand the time and effort you are expending in our behalf. Escape in the three variations is WONDERFUL 😊😊😊😊
Thank you so much! Yes, they do take quite some time. I am working on another Atmos mix as we speak. Hope to have it done in a couple of weeks.
I have an adcom GFA555ii and a denon AVR4311CI. How do I override the amp in the denon and make it use the adcom??😅
Technodad should get more views.
Change my mind
He absolutely should
Thank you, Matt! Set a reminder to watch me mix Atmos Live this Thursday at 5 pm PT - technodad.biz/AtmosMix
@@keepingupwiththejones2933 Thank you Jonsey!
@@TechnoDad ok
Will you be reviewing the new Sony avr’s this summer? Thanks 👍🏼
Yes! I have one in-house and I have shot the unboxing portion of the video. Still need to do more with the Sony AVR before I make the rest of the video.
@@TechnoDad awesome. I can’t wait. I’ve been seriously considering the az-5000es for a 7.2.4 atmos set up
Awesome video, what software did you use to export a MP4 file so it could be heard on your system.
Thank you for watching! MP4 is easy. Use the Dolby Atmos Renderer and bounce out an MP4. The tricky part is getting a Lossless version out in MKV or M2TS format for people to play in their home theater. THAT was expensive. Don't forget to reserve your seat and watch me mix Atmos Live this Thursday at 5 pm PT - technodad.biz/AtmosMix
Thanks so much, I will.
Hey, how to get start with surround sound? like i have jbl lsr monitors 2 6inches and 2 5inches can get one more for center and a Sub from jbl. want to start mixing in basic surround sound like 5.1 so how to get info on that which audio interface is good to start and how to setup for 5.1/ dolby setup for basic mixing as i m totally new into surround sound
You would need an audio interface that has as many analog outputs as you would need. But they usually go as a pair or 8 or 16. If you wanted to start with 5.1, you may need to get an interface that has 8 analog outputs.
how do you like using the 48" oled as a monitor. do you ever feel like "actual" monitors would be better
I use it for gaming on Xbox and watching movie scenes while testing equipment. I have a 43" gaming monitor, but the LG is just better.
I noticed a APC UPS, what do you have that connected to?
Long ago i had wanted to hook my AVR and TV up to one to prevent issues from unexpected power outages, but i had read they're not good for audio equipment (explanation went over my head as i don't comprehend electricity well). Got occupied with another project and forgot about it until now.
Hi! It’s for my Network Attached Storage Device. Not connected to audio equipment. I was thinking of adding one for our internet router but then realized that would be out of power outside our home.
@@TechnoDad Thanks for reply, the fact i never see UPS' on high end audio equipment makes me think there's truth in it not being good to hook them up to amps/AVRs. Not looking to watch/listen when power is out, but my home does a lot of flickering on and off when there are issues (which isn't often)- wanted to save my gear from abruptly turning off and back on for when it happens. I think my home internet is independent of outside electricity and a UPS on my router would keep it going- BUT everyone's setups are different.
Curious to know how you were able to do two inputs of mixing and AVR-preout from receiver to 16 channel external amp at the same time?
Is it with Y splitter on external-amp? 3:10
Yup! simple solution. Just have to make sure only one of the items are on. So either the audio interface is on, or the AVR is on. Never both at the same time.
@@TechnoDad Hi from Norway! When you say "only one at the same time" do you mean volume is down on one or you power off the device? One more: what is your atmos monitor controller in this setup?
A lot of work
Wait until you see what it takes to mix Atmos. Set a reminder and tune in Thursday at 5 pm PT - technodad.biz/AtmosMix
@@TechnoDad thank you sir , 💪🏼
how are you sending signal to AV reciever/amp
Im using the AVR to test and see what everyone else will experience. So I’ll bounce out a red file and use a blu ray or media player which is then going into the AVR via HDMI.
Can I Use a Focus rite 18i20 as an interface for Dolby atmos ?
I would go with something that gives you 16 analog inputs AND 16 analog outputs. Check out the Motu 16A
This is great! How do you export the files to be able to play back in lossless Dolby True HD like you guys did on the spatial audio disc. I’m also a mixing engineer and the only other guy I now who mixes in Atmos says the final file comes out as an ADM WAV which is submitted for distribution. It also spits out an MP4 I believe. How did you guys get it to be able to play back uncompressed? Also, I’m trying understand your split setup better. So line out of the interface and then going where? Are you splitting the rca signal so one can go to the Niles and the other to the Pioneer? I just can’t seem to make sense of it how you have both the pioneer and your interface going into the Niles. Thanks!
Ahhhh yes...the ADM BWF files. I'll tell you this. It's a combination of 4 or 5 different software packages and about two dozen other steps in between to create the Lossless files found in our SACT. That took months of figuring out, so I'm not going to say too much about it. I will say this...it was NOT easy and there is nothing on the internet about it. I just figured it out. As for the audio interface and AVR going into the amplifier in my setup, that's super simple. Y-splitter. One side has a single RCA male and the other has two RCA female. All you have to do is make sure only one device is on at a time. So either the audio interface is on or the AVR is on, never both on at the same time. Hope that makes sense!
@@TechnoDad I figured it was something really complicated for the conversion. Glad you figured it out! You’re then only person I know who has done it. It really seems like it should be a standard thing as it’s hard to check your mix on a consumer system unless you are doing what you did with the AVR. That makes sense now. So the Niles basically has the y cable on each input so it’s either getting fed from the interface or the AVR. That makes sense. Just curious do you find a lot of major differences between the way the mix sounds when you’re listening in logic and when you play the mix decoded through the AVR? In theory it should be the same because it’s same speakers/amps but I wonder how much is different with the decoding that happens. Thanks!!!
@@TechnoDad Was the programs you used to convert the Dolby Media Encoder? I’m guessing then you had to convert the MP4 to MTS or MKV files because I don’t think True HD works on MP4 right?
@@NickMatzkeMusic Yes! Dolby Media Encoder is one of them. However, the TrueHD output is a file type that won't be played by anthing. MP4 is only Lossy Dolby Digital +
@@TechnoDad Wow, I got one of them right! So what do convert the ADM to in Dolby Media Encoder if not True HD?
Update I found your Live stream recording
When are you going to reveal where front wides are supposed to be placed at?
I'm not too sure.
Hello TD
Hello Mike! Don't forget to set a reminder to watch me mix Atmos Live this Thursday at 5 pm PT - technodad.biz/AtmosMix
Gotta get you some Magic Beans on both of those Dirac calibrations. Flat?
LOL! That's just what I called it...actually, I want to redo this before Thursday's live stream...you available to tune up the studio? 😀
@@TechnoDad I'll be doing Ripewave's tonight at 7. I can do it after or whenever
What movie are going to do?
It'll be a song, not a movie.
I have a SVS PB 1000 Pro in my system😅
Oh yeah! Giddyup! Don't forget to set a reminder to watch me mix Atmos Live this Thursday at 5 pm PT - technodad.biz/AtmosMix
TechnoDad who is this MrTechnoDad first of all I think he stole your Name and Secondly I missed your live stream Thursday and I am looking for it and thirdsees I love your Remixes in Dolby Atmos especially Panic Room so I would like access to more songs Remixed by you
Channa did you get my emails thznking you
Yes, responded.
damn youre rich
Not really…I just have four jobs and I barely sleep…
I find atmos rather a pointless format. It’s only any good in cinema, no good for music unless you use headphones and even then it’s still bad. It’s stupidly expensive for a setup and to get a room made for it.
All for something that the general public can’t really listen too properly. Beside the fact that most people either have a stereo of some sort or a smart speaker which is probably mono.
