we are gearing up to install atmos in our facility and stumbling across this video was a complete joy! looking forward to watching the rest of the series...I love how you pull back the curtain and openly show each step in detail without reservation! Thanks for all you're doing for the community!
Hey man. I am just starting my Atmos journey. I work mostly in Films and TV department. I mixing a Film and it has to be in Atmos. Your videos have been a huge help and I am learning so much from you. Thanks for helping guys like me out with this. Subscribed !!!
FINALLY!!! We now have someone who knows how to explain working with Atmos without being all scientific and ish like everyone else. Thank you Alex. You're making this Atmos experience well worth watching your videos. I will definitely be reaching out through your website very soon for one on one learning and questions.
Alex! As a user and devote of DOLBY and all of their rich history and products, as well as being a user / engineer in the ATMOS lane since 2016 (in the television world) I wanted to congratulate you on a terrific, well articulated session(s) regarding the use of various ATMOS related technical tools and approaches as you did in this series! Simply put, It was amazing! I just subscribed and will be looking forward to whatever new posts you come up with! I am a partner in a very well equipped ATMOS studio and since beginning my own personal music focused journey, it is great to have people like you willing to share their time and expertise with all of us newbies! Great work and thank you from all of us out here!
Ok this isn’t fair, I had to work all this crap out a year ago 😂 Great video, a lot of what I’m doing too. A tiny tip would be instead of creating the sidechain buss (or any buss) in IO setup you can do the whole thing in one step. Click the send slot and go to the bottom “New Track” you can choose mono aux and type in the name there. It will create the bus and the send from the track in one go. Looking forward to part 2 ❤️
Please can you show us a video on how to setup Logic Pro with the Dolby Atmos Renderer, because my Logic project always play as stereo on my Dolby Atmos Renderer.
Great education on the setup and methodology of Atmos in Pro Tools! Nuendo does the setup to binaural in 2 steps. Also setting buffer to 512 is necessary.
Wow Alex !!! thank you for taking the time to do a video like this.. I've been mixing for over 15 yrs and I have done some mixing for Universal in the latin world. So I am about to make the jump into mixing in Atmos, so thank you for his video. I haven't found a video like this showing you step by step especially in making a template, now that is a BIG step for us who are trying to get into the whole atmos mixing. I am in the process of getting a new location just to get a room made So I can have my set up for Atmos mixing and I am exited to get started. I couldn't find a part 2 to this series, is there a part 2 to this video ?? Gracias una vez mas Alex !
@@DolbyAtmosMixing Thanks for replying 🤗. Thank you for offering your recommendation...It is already in the works, But is anything goes a different route I'll for sure reach out. What is your instagram handle Alex.
I'm watching this now because Studio One 6.5 just dropped and it has Dolby Atmos support and Dolby Atmos renderer built right into it. Maybe you can take a look a Studio One 6.5? That would be nice!
Great resource for starting Atmos mixing! However do you have an update for the Atmos Renderer 5.0 Template. It changed enough that your tutorial doesn't quite translate to the new 5.0 update.
Do you ever run into issues when linking plugins, where you might click the "undo" button or ctrl+click something to a neutral setting, and it decides not to copy that setting across to other plugins? I have that all the time in Cubase. Perhaps ProTools is better with respect to this behaviour. Thanks for the video! Helped me understand the methodology you use. Will continue on the next ones in the series now. :)
Thanks for the information! I am taking notes on your workflow. I use Cubase Pro wit the integrated Dolby Atmos workflow (Still a few work arounds to get things done). Have you tried the Waves Spherix Immersive Compressor and Limiter 7.1.4.? I plan to purchase it once I start getting gigs. I already had HoRNet SAMP, which allows me to compress, EQ and limit at 7.1.2 (Bed).
Thanks a lot Alex, great video. Instead of creating aux object locations, you can also directly send the stems to the bed right left lsr rsr etc....right? Are there any differences?
Is there any pre mixed music for dolby atmos music available already? I would like to have 2 fronts, 1 center, 2 rear, subwoofer and at least 2 height (atmos) speakers. I would like to build an audiophile experience in my 50 m2 barn with speakers all around. But with that amount of speakers you need at least the music to play through all those speakers...
When it comes to building your 7.1.4 Bed, do the same rules apply to the integrated renderer? Also, would the stem tracks with the linked plugins work the same way for the integrated renderer? I'm having a hard time deciding what to do for my integrated renderer setup vs the external renderer tutorials and lessons I've been watching. Thanks Alex
Great vid. Alex I watched all your vids on this project but the reverb routing was never touched nor did I see any immersive reverbs. Do you use the same Object Bed for reverb and recommend the use of Follow Main Pan on the sends for DA?
Hi Philip, thank you for the support. When working on immersive mixes from mixed stems, I don’t always use Reverb or effects. Remember that all the mixing decisions have already been made by the mix engineer. If I need to enhance the effects, then I will use an immersive reverb or stereo reverbs.
@@DolbyAtmosMixing Perfect logical answer. Your tuts are the best on this subject man. If you weren't mixing already mixed stems, would you use Mike Genewick's Object Bed tip for routing "reverbs" too? or how would you recommend routing say Liquidsonics or other immersive reverbs?
Wow thank you very much for explaining your workflow! But I'm wondering, do you use standard bed output with surround panner for some tracks and why? Or do you mix with a full object based workflow?
I am using Cubase for atmos, but I see that you can use infinite sends from REF KEY to SC of your plugins on each channels. When I try to do this, I have a limit of 8 sends from my REF to the SC of each plugin. Do you have another way to do it?
Hey! nice video, you have my sub for all the gems you gave us I just have oone question: When you said there's no "mixbus" to process all the beds and objects together on Atmos, isn't that possible on the dolby assembler by using a limiter and compression on the ADM BWF file?
That requires a whole other video, but you can learn more about it here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-vQiqCRodEGk.htmlsi=LYvM4-KKugQWUkqi
@@DolbyAtmosMixing try to have a look at it, it is an equalizer, compressor, clipper and limiter linked for all instances, the eq (even dynamic) moves on all instances with the same setting, you can choose which track where the plugin is present they constitute the sidechain for dynamic modules, designed by the developer specifically for ATMOS projects
Hey Alex I have (2) Avid 16x16 HD I/O interfaces with 1 HDX card. Will I be able to use either one of them with speakers for Atmos or will I need another interface from Avid?
Hi thanks for your channel . How do you get your studionto be atmos certified. i have gone to website but there must be a direct link to this process. thanks in advance john
Hola Alex! Primero que nada felicidades por estos videos, estan increibles, me han ayudado a tener mas control en mis sesiones. Tengo una duda que mencionaste en el video, como puedes escuchar dolby atmos en apple music? tengo la misma configuracion con la matrix y HD Native pero no logro escuchar la musica de apple music en atmos, solamente en 5.1. Gracias por leer y espero tu respuesta! saludos desde mx
There is. But it’s mostly in that Atmos is object based mixing and surround is channel based mixing. Checkout sound particles for their explanation. It’s very good 👌
Hi Alex, I saw this video and i think it is very interesting, just a question, if I can, what you think about putting the plugins in the auxiliary tracks that feed audio to the renderer instead in every single stem. I think it reduce the amount of cpu used. Thank you very much.
Hi, was wondering, in other videos people use beds for the speakers instead of objects, any particular reason for this or will this be explained on part 2?
Hi Alex! I’m using Logic Pro and I see you have a video class for Mixing Atmos for Logic. However it is for “Members Only”. I can’t find anywhere how to join as a member on your site. Can you help? Gianni ✌🏼
Curious I dont quite understand the benefit of an object bed over a regular bed. I can place any audio in any of the subpaths of a regular bed already no? l can put for instance drums in just the Front LR, Side LR or Rear LR of the default bed. I thought the benefit of objects was that i can place them in coordinates in space and not in specific channels like in 5.1 for instance. But maybe im missing something and you can clarify? thanks for the video!
I am using Dolby Atmos Renderer 5.0.0 with ProTools Studio 2023.6, and when I create the Aux mono track named LTC and add the Dolby LTC Generator, Alex is showing how to set the output of this track to "LTC 129 (mono)", but this output is not an option that is available in my ProTools Session/I/O Setup. How exactly does Alex' I/O Matrix look like? Where can I download it or how do I set it up correctly manually? Is it as simple as creating as creating an Output Object #129 in the I/O Settings in Protools, and then the Dolby Atmos Rendere will pick up the LTC automatically from this object?
Hi Alex , just one question what are you doing with the LFE channel and the sub bass tracks? I don't think you were talking about it. For my part, I put an aux mono track for the LFE, the same as for the FRONT REAR ETC ... IS IT GOOD?
Hola Alex! tengo una duda. Al poner mis tracks todos suenan con un eco y no suenan completamente secos, hay alguna opción para dejar los instrumentos sin ese eco que esta por default? Saludos!
