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.

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.

  • In Object Mode, the audio signal is only sent to the renderer, via Send 8. Therefore, it does not reach the output of the channel panner. To make the signal visible on the channel meter, set the Meter Position to Post-Fader in the Global Meter Settings.

  • When using an external renderer, objects cannot be monitored within the Control Room of Nuendo. However, 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.
