Surround Sound
Cubase provides integrated surround sound features with support for several formats. All audio-related channels and busses can handle multi-channel speaker configurations. A channel in the MixConsole can contain either complete surround mixes or an individual speaker channel as part of a surround setup.
Object Audio in Cubase
Cubase provides a complete suite of tools for authoring, recording, mixing, and playing back object-based audio content, using the Audio Definition Model (ADM).
Authoring and Mixing for Dolby Atmos®
Cubase allows you to mix fully compliant audio content for Dolby Atmos and to create ADM files in Broadcast Wave Format (BWF) with object audio and a channel-based bed.
Setup for Dolby Atmos Mixes
For creating Dolby Atmos mixes, you need a renderer, and you must define audio tracks in your project as beds and objects.
Adding Multi-Objects
In Cubase, you can create multi-objects in addition to standard mono objects. This allows you to tilt and rotate pre-panned multi-channel signals in the Dolby Atmos surround field, for example, a 5.1 channel background mix.

Adding Multi-Objects

In Cubase, you can create multi-objects in addition to standard mono objects. This allows you to tilt and rotate pre-panned multi-channel signals in the Dolby Atmos surround field, for example, a 5.1 channel background mix.

Prerequisite

You have set up a valid routing and an ADM structure for Dolby Atmos content, containing objects.

Procedure

Add a stereo or multi-channel track.
In the ADM Authoring for Dolby Atmos window, add an object, and select the created track as the source track.

Result

The audio of the source track is sent to the object, which now acts as a a multi-object. Each channel of the source track now has an individual object ID.

After Completing This Task

You can export multi-objects to an ADM file or play it back through an external renderer. In both cases, the multi-objects are split into a corresponding number of mono objects that contain their own panning metadata.
