Before getting into the details on how to mix Dolby Atmos Professional Surround Sound for film, TV, and multimedia, here is a quick history of the Surround Sound.Above is the Timeline depicts the History of Surround Sound developed by Dolby Laboratories, Inc. Since Dolby introduced Atmos for home theaters in 2014, Surround Sound Home Theater Systems and Surround Sound Bars became popular because they were readily available and affordable.
In 9.1.4 Dolby Atmos-enabled Speaker configuration, the nine refers to the number of traditional surround sound speakers, i.e., the front channels; left, center, right, the side channels; left and right, the surround channels left and right. Whereas, the one refers to the number of LFE channels (Low-Frequency Effects) or Sub-Woofer. And lastly, the four refers to the number of Overhead or Atmos speakers. The setup provides top front channels; left and right and, top back channels; left and right.
eMasterSound 7.1.4 Dolby Atmos Speaker Layout is slightly different from the home theater. The mixing console is located closer to the front speakers and the engineer is centered under the Atmos Speakers, as shown in this image. Level control, and parametric equalizers on each channel tune the speakers to the room for audio engineering perfection.
Our focus is utilizing technology by Steinberg, Nuendo 11, the latest edition of the long-running DAW, offers ADM authoring for Dolby Atmos, a Netflix loudness meter, and more. eMasterSound Engineers can mix a film audio track from 7.1.4 to 9.1.4 Atmos configurations, that is 14 channels of surround sound for an immersive cinematic experience.
eMasterSound DAW runs Nuendo which supports several 2D and 3D surround channel configurations. 5.1 Surround Sound is the Gaming standard, and Mastering 5.1.4 songs are trending these days. As for Nuendo, it is a popular DAW for audio post-production in film, TV, and multimedia.
The eMasterSound team will deliver a quality multi-media production for artists, directors, and producers in a timely manner. This is accomplished with an efficient workflow on the Yamaha Nuage Console which acts as a link to the DAW running Protools, Nuendo, or Cubase Digital Audio Workstation. So, whatever format your project is in, we can run with it!
Nuendo 11 Integrated VST Dolby Atmos Renderer. Starting with a Signal Flow diagram; We can use Mac or Windows PC while taking full advantage of Dolby Atmos Renderer with the Yamaha AIC128-D Dante PCIe Card which offers 128 Input and Output Channels.
Monitor Source buttons on the Nuage Console can be used to simulate 9.1.4 to Stereo speaker playback environments. This allows the engineer an idea of what the project sounds like on a home theater or a large cinematic theater.
Binaural Headphone and Multipanner Ambisonics configuration are available for Surround Sound for the Monitoring. Gamers will appreciate the Multipanner Ambisonics configuration to the Binaural 5.1 Headphone Mix.
The MMP1 can be used with just about any DAW and peripheral equipment, but Nuage Version 2 adds remote control capability so that source selection, levels, downmix and dimmer switching, talkback, and other functions can be controlled directly from physical controls on a Nuage Master or Nuage Fader unit.
eMasterSound Advantages include Flexible Monitoring with VST Dolby Atmos Renderer and Nuendo Control Room.
Nuendo 11 Integrated Import Export ADM BWF (Audio Definition Model Broadcast Wave Format) Nuendo 11 options include any software with ADM BWF Import Export capabilities.
Bed Channels: A Bed Channel is the channel-based main output bus of 7.1.2 (LCR, LFE, Side & Rear Surrounds, and a Left/Right Overhead Surround Channels). Note that these have no forward/backward separation, just a stereo overhead. Instruments and FX Sounds with Low Frequencies below 80Hz will be a Bed Channel. This is considered our main mix bus.
ADM Authoring will automatically set the VST Multipanner to the correct mode when adding a Bed or Object Channel. Automatically created and set an Object Channel to the 7.1.4 BUS at zero db. Also, appropriately add Bed and Object Channels to the VST Dolby Atmos Renderer.
VST MultiPanner; The Bed Mode is displayed in the upper left corner in blue. Bass instruments are added as 7.1.2 in the ADM Authorizing to Low-Frequency Effect (LFE) output. Kick Drum and other instruments with low frequencies below 120Hz are routed to the Sub-Woofer Speaker.
Bullets Impacting Metal pan from left to right, this is created with a Right Wave Fade Out as the Left Wave Fades in, giving a greater audience reaction by select Elevation Half Pipe assigns the sound to the overhead speakers or Atmos. The sound pans across while adding height channels, allowing sounds to be interpreted as three-dimensional objects.
Scene 17 (moved): Gun Shot Front to Rear is a cinematic recreation of seeing someone firing a gun from afar. The first 2 examples are traditional Surround Sound. The MultiPanner Elevation Pattern Tunnel adds Atmos, an Immersive sound of bullets fling overhead, and then hear the impact behind you as the sound echos back overhead.
Pass By Sports Car Automation is linear. This gives us the ability to Rotate the Squealing Sportscar screaming around the room from speaker to Speaker, in a Pan-through Array The 5.1.4 and 7.1.4 give the ability to move sound through a room with Objects to create a precision movement for a real-world experience.
so my question is why are Samsung not updating their Netflix App to have Dolby Atmos. i have what is required here, dolby digital + selected on q9fn and atmos capable hw n850 soundbar. this is all thats required for "lossy Dolby Atmos" same as you get on 2018 sony & LG tv's
Sorry guys. Wrong info on my original post. Please delete if possible. Anyways I confused DD+ with DD Atmos. I was able to turned on DD+ for Netflix following the recommendation from p29. Netflix Atmos via HDMI Arc is no go for my Q7FN, even though it did work for Amazon prime.
I have NAS with Emby server and Emby app on LG WebOs tv - everything working great except UHD movies. when I play HDR movie with Dolby atmos it is playing video as HDR but audio is not Dolby Atmos, my sound bar showing sound as Dolby digital on its screen . also Playback info showing Direct stream video HEVC (direct) and audio as AC3
then how come Apple TV application playing 4K with Dolby Atmos streaming thru internet and it is working just fine?
btw myh TV and sound bar supports Dolby Atmos. all I want is to Emby not transcode it to ac3 and stream it as it is. it is doing with HEVC video, why not do with Dolby Atmos.
it is not LG, it is EMBY issue
All STREAMING platforms - Netflix, AppleTV etc are just using DD+ with Atmos - ie compressed sound. This works fine (as it does with Emby) as it passes over the usual ARC channel - but HD Sound formats (TrueHD with Atmos and DTS-HD:X etc) do not as the LG HARDWARE cannot process these streams. It is 100% an LG issue I'm afraid.
But since you tagged both me and a dev this is pretty easy. Write up anything you want to contribute to the KB and PM me and @SamES the info. This way Sam can make the call if he'd like to have anything changed before we publish it. I'll take care of all formatting and web stuff so a simple notepad text if fine, or what ever you want to contribute.
Thank you soooooo much!
I'll do some info checking on my files and eq. because some dts, or hd, or truehd is playing and some not but this is thru ARC, I'll check if sounds that are not playing will it be played thru eArc. Can't make Shield set up yet as it is on the way.
