How To Mix Dolby Atmos For Music Expert Extended Tutorial

In this extended free Expert Tutorial, David Ziegler, Senior Content Engineer, Dolby Germany and Eric Horstmann from Immersive Lab show how to mix music in Dolby Atmos. David starts with an overview and then together they explore Eric’s template and workflow using a track that Eric recently remixed in Dolby Atmos for a client. As this tutorial is nearly one hour long, we have chapterised this video so that if there is a particular topic you want to watch you can jump straight to it rather than have to watch the whole tutorial though. That said, we do recommend watching it all the way through once so that you get the full picture. Then when you need an answer to a specific issue you can go to that point in the video, and get the answer quickly. There is also a lot more information in the article that this video comes from, so we do recommend reading the article in conjunction with this free video tutorial. 0:00 Intro 0:05 Introductions - David Ziegler, Senior Content Engineer, Dolby Germany and Eric Horstmann from Immersive Music Production 0:47  The Dolby Atmos Music Ecosystem 2:21 What Is Dolby Atmos? 3:50 Getting started with Dolby Atmos for Music 4:30 Dolby Atmos for Music Workflow Overview 4:55 The Role Of AvidPlay 5:42 An overview of how Eric works with Dolby Atmos for Music. 6:36 How to connect your Pro Tools System to the Dolby Atmos Production Suite. 7:19 Configuring the Preferences in the Dolby Atmos Production Suite. 8:42 Listen to the track that Eric uses for this tutorial, which is a track by Eternity by Spanish DJ, M.E.M.O released on Mobilee Records. 9:46 Multiple ways that consumers can enjoy music in Dolby Atmos. 10:25 How to layout a Dolby Atmos for Music session in your DAW. 11:57 Session Structure 12:52 Session Delivery Notes 13:37 The Drum Group 15:50 Drum Processing 17:32 Using UAD Plugins In A Dolby Atmos Mix 17:55 - The LFE Channel 20:08 - Playback of the Drum Sub Group 21:34 Mastering and Dolby Atmos 23:06 Bass Processing 23:53 Guitar Processing 27:27 Playback of the Guitars Group 29:30 Synth Track Processing 30:32 Playback of the Synth Group 31:08 The Elevation Mode in the Dolby Atmos Panner 33:21 Using an Upmix Plugin 35:16 Vocal Group Processing 37:40 Demonstration Of The Two Vocal Positions 38:45 Client’s FX processing 40:31 Dolby Atmos specific Reverb And Delay Effects 47:34 The Infinite Delay 49:26 The Binaural Metadata Window Check out our article What's The Point Of Dolby Atmos For Consumers? https://www.pro-tools-expert.com/home-page/2020/10/6/dolby-atmos-how-do-consumers-access-dolby-atmos Check out our article - Mixing Music In Dolby Atmos - Everything You Need To Know https://www.pro-tools-expert.com/home-page/2020/7/1/everything-you-need-to-know-about-dolby-atmos-home-entertainment-r57h Check out our article AvidPlay Now With Dolby Atmos - First Platform To Support Dolby Format https://www.pro-tools-expert.com/production-expert-1/2020/7/27/avidplay-becomes-the-first-diy-music-distribution-service-to-support-dolby-atmos-music We cover the setup process and the Dolby Audio Bridge in much more detail in our tutorial Dolby Atmos - Using The Dolby Audio Bridge The Way Avid And Dolby Recommend - Free Expert Tutorial Part 2 https://www.pro-tools-expert.com/home-page/2020/2/25/dolby-atmos-tutorial-part-2-using-the-dolby-audio-bridge-the-dolby-and-avid-way
