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.
Object Busses
In Nuendo, object busses are used to send audio from source tracks in your project as object audio to an external renderer.
Creating Object Busses Manually
This example shows you how to manually create 16 object busses for an object-based Dolby Atmos mix if using the external Dolby Atmos Renderer.

Creating Object Busses Manually

This example shows you how to manually create 16 object busses for an object-based Dolby Atmos mix if using the external Dolby Atmos Renderer.

Procedure

In the External Dolby Atmos Renderer Setup dialog, map 16 of 64 available output device ports to object IDs by selecting from the corresponding Renderer Input Device Port pop-up menu.
In the Audio Connections window, create 16 mono output busses.
Connect the 16 mono output busses one by one to the 16 mapped output streams.

Result

The 16 mono output busses are defined as your object busses. In the VST MultiPanner plug-in, you can select these 16 object busses in the Select Object Bus pop-up menu for mono channels.
