    Thank you for your excellent work. But I have a question as a newbie :) Can we use the music we created in Dolby Atmos in Studio One in a home theater system (5.1)?

    • @fiedler-audio

      If your home theatre is capable of playing back Dolby Atmos files/streams, then yes. You need to convert your ADM/BWF file to MP4 beforehand though, if you want to play it back directly.

    Can you add it after your mastering plugin on the master track or its ignoring all other mastering tools, such as Ozone?

    • @fiedler-audio
      @fiedler-audio  Год назад

      Mastering for Atmos is a complex task. Any audio you want to have in your Atmos mix must have gone through either Dolby Atmos Beam or Spacelab to actually be available in the Composer. If you put an Ozone for example after the Composer it will be only useful for monitoring purposes, if at all. We are constantly thinking on how to get you mastering capabilities for your Atmos mix and hope to have something soon.

      @@fiedler-audio Thank you! It's an unfortunate situation as I can't imagine a proper mix without using some sort of master channel modification (compression, etc) and a final mastering of the song. Is it a standard Atmos workflow? As you might have guessed I'm pretty new in Atmos, just learning it. Thanks in advance!

      @@Maravique Yes, currently all Atmos tool chains work this way. But we are thinking on making things better in that regard. So please stay tuned.

    Hi there - I downloaded the full version - Not sure where support questions are fielded, so I ask here. It appears that any changes in the DAW's channels aren't reflected in the Composer. Reducing faders, soloing, panning - any function that's controlled by the DAW's fader seems non-functional. Is this correct, or am I missing someting?

    • @SamHocking
      @SamHocking Год назад

      I noticed that too in Bitwig & ProTools, that the faders stopped working. I assume the Beam plugin is grabbing the audio pre-fader, even though Beam is placed as a post-fader insert. Weird.

      This weekend I'm going to try to do a full mix using Composer. It's obvious it's going to be a completely different workflow. For instance, managing volume levels can't be done via the DAW faders, so I'm thinking creating automation lanes for volume from Composer for each track...not sure how other plugins are going to play with Beam on each channel - will have to figure that out too. Lastly, I don't see any way to put a plug-in across the bed; I use Spherix and Pro-Q there a lot, so that will be a bummer if I can't use those.

      @@AustinSignal For multichannel FX across the bed (or composite) you would typically create a bus/aux of the same number of channels. e.g. a 7.1.2 effect would be inserted on a 7.1.2 bus and then use the Send of the track to feed the FX which then output to 7.1.2. The 7.1.2 are patched to the 7.1.2 Bed in Composer as you would for a mono or stereo track, it's just 7.1.2 or 7.1.4 or 9.1.6 or whatever.
      Another way rather than a traditional FX Send to a Bus is run the e.g. Stereo track directly into e.g. a 7.1.2 tracks L & R channels, then as it passes through the FX it outputs as 7.1.2 but that depends on DAW and the FXs routing really. There are no rules, what sounds good is the correct choice haha!

      Soloing and muting ofc doesn't work. As for the faders, make sure the routing plugin is post-fader.

    Working with the trial. So External Output is just for other additional outputs? If I want to connect my session to an Atmos studio for referencing yes?
    My DAW is connected to a particular interface, and DAW supports 5.1 mixing. That means when Composer is instantiated on Master channel - the Speaker out (I select 5.1) and Headphone out is automatically connected to my interface correct? I get a delayed signal when I set External Output to my interface. When I set it to none, it's fine. I'm not sure if I'm monitoring correctly though, when I toggle Headphones to BIN, ST or OFF, I still get signal on my headphone output.

    • @fiedler-audio
      @fiedler-audio  Год назад

      Your headphone outputs are determined by the channels of your audio interface. If you select Speaker monitoring but send it to your headphone outputs you will of course have something going out there. If you select both Speaker and Headphone monitoring, the channels of the selected speaker setup come first and then the headphone channels.

    Is it possible to do this with a mastered stereo track to atmos.

    • @fiedler-audio
      @fiedler-audio  6 месяцев назад

      To do any kind of serious mixing in Atmos you need at least stems so that you can position them in space. A single stereo track can technically be converted to Atmos, but it won't be an Atmos-worthy experience.
