Nice one, good thoughts. The only pro for some kind of glue is (in my opinion) when you do 'atmos first' and use a folddown of it to get the stereo master.
What's interesting is that I had a client last week that we used the 2.0 Direct render as his stereo version and we decided to keep that pure too! No 2-buss processing or mastering for it, just whatever the 2.0 Direct render did, which was great! (tons of dynamics, the music breathed!!!). Interesting times for sure! Thanks for watching and for your comment!!!
@@thelivingroomstudios True. For my latest album (just look at your streaming device for Gert Keunen 'Hode') I first made a stereo mix and master for vinyl & cd release. In between I made the atmos mix, and for the stereo-streaming release I decided not to use the stereo mix/master, but the stereo folddown of the atmos mix! On this mix I didn't use the full bus processing thing (only some processing on different object groups, which you can do in Nuendo), and I did a separate stereo mastering for this atmos folddown. This folddown got indeed so much more dynamics, in comparison to the stereo mix/master that I released on cd & vinyl. This made me an 'atmos first'-guy... And thanks for your video's! It a pleasure to watch.

@@gertkeunen2720 thanks for watching and for sharing your Atmos experience! Cool music too!
Ahhh yes , good point . Don’t try to cram Atmos into a stereo box . It was designed to allow the mix to breath .
