Surround Sound
Nuendo 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 which is part of a surround setup.
Object Audio in Nuendo
Nuendo 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®
Nuendo 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 channel-based beds for playback through the Dolby Atmos Renderer.
Setup for Dolby Atmos Mixes
For creating Dolby Atmos mixes, you need a renderer and must define audio tracks as beds and objects in your project.
Setting up a Dolby Atmos Project Using the Renderer for Dolby Atmos Plug-in
This example shows the recommended way to set up a Dolby Atmos project that contains a channel-based 7.1.2 bed for music and effects and 4 mono objects for dialogue, and uses the Renderer for Dolby Atmos plug-in as internal renderer.
Renderer for Dolby Atmos Plug-in Panel
The Renderer for Dolby Atmos plug-in allows you to monitor and downmix your Dolby Atmos mix without using an external renderer.
