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.
Object Mixes with VST MultiPanner
When you select a track as the source track for an object, its VST MultiPanner channel panner plug-in automatically switches to Object Mode.
VST MultiPanner Plug-in Panel in Object Mode
The VST MultiPanner plug-in panel offers additional settings and parameters for object-based mixing.

VST MultiPanner Plug-in Panel in Object Mode

The VST MultiPanner plug-in panel offers additional settings and parameters for object-based mixing.

To open the VST MultiPanner plug-in panel in a separate window, double-click a miniature view of VST MultiPanner in the Inspector or in the MixConsole.

Renderer

Shows the object bus to which the channel is connected internally when the Renderer for Dolby Atmos is used.

Select Object Zone

Determines which speaker zones are active for the object. Active speaker zones are displayed as small blue squares around the Top View pan field.

Active speaker zones are also displayed in the miniature view in the Inspector.

Speaker Snap

Moves the object audio to the active speaker that is closest to its established location during playback.

Object Size

Spreads the audio for an object in the room, based on the object position and the active speakers. This parameter is deactivated if Speaker Snap is activated.
