Routing Channels for 9.1 Dolby AtmosĀ® Bed Mixing

Mixing for a 9.1 Dolby Atmos audio bed requires a signal routing to a 9.1 Dolby Atmos output bus.

When mixing for a 9.1 Dolby Atmos audio bed, the following applies:

  • You must route the source channel to a 9.1 Dolby Atmos output bus or a 9.1 Dolby Atmos group channel.

    To ensure the correct routing for the Dolby Atmos mix, we recommend to route the first 10 device ports of your audio interface to the 9.1 Dolby Atmos bus. You can select the device ports in the Audio Connections window.

    Important

    In Nuendo, the order of surround busses and side busses differs from the Dolby specification for side surround busses (Lss, Rss) and surround rear busses (Lsr, Rsr). To meet the specification for the Dolby RMU, swap the device ports of surround busses and side busses.

  • You can route mono, stereo, or surround channels to a 9.1 Dolby Atmos bus. If you route a 9.1 Dolby Atmos channel to a 9.1 Dolby Atmos bus, MixConvert V6 is used for panning.

  • Plug-ins that are used in a 3D bus or group channel must support a corresponding number of channels.
