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.
Object Mixes with VST MultiPanner
When you select a track as source track for an object, its VST MultiPanner channel panner plug-in automatically switches to Object Mode.

Object Mixes with VST MultiPanner

When you select a track as source track for an object, its VST MultiPanner channel panner plug-in automatically switches to Object Mode.

When VST MultiPanner is used in Object Mode, the following applies:

The plug-in panel offers additional settings and parameters for object-based mixing.
The audio stream is sent directly to the renderer that is selected in the ADM Authoring for Dolby Atmos window.
All object metadata, including the panning information, is directly sent to the renderer. Therefore, panning functions are always provided, regardless of the audio routing.

Note

If VST MultiPanner is used as an insert plug-in, Object Mode is not available.

Note

When using an external renderer, objects cannot be monitored within the Control Room of Nuendo. However, if you want to monitor the result of your object mix, you can route a 7.1 downmix from the Dolby Atmos Renderer to an external input of the Control Room.
