Very informative and interesting. So, would a person with large, prominent ears get a stronger sense of sound direction? How about putting a shape on a camcorder with the size and contour of a human head, including ears and mounting two microphones facing out, one on each side, inside the ears? Could you use that to produce two-channel audio with a surround effect?
Do you have a lot of consideration for the Stereo Fold-Down in this situation? Or is that kind of implied when making each reverb sound slightly different for correlation purposes?
I think when I first started out I wondered how the fold down would work and if there might be too much reverb because I've got all the extra channels of it. I think there have been times where I've either wanted more or less in the fold down and have compromised a bit to make it work better for Atmos and the stereo. Sometimes that was because I was using the 2.0 re-render for the stereo which drops the rear surrounds 3 dB. For the most part, I've been happy with the results, though, and now that I'm handling the stereo version a little differently, it feels even easier to make it all work.
For film and video games, should a composer deliver stems in 5.1/7.1/Atmos with reverb? If so what reverb and how should it be applied? Or should the stems just be delivered in stereo totally dry?
Great suggestions … thanks for sharing😎

I could be wrong, but I don't think the size of someone's ears would affect their perception. Neumann makes a binaural head for binaural recordings.
HI! really nice video.... the mixes you have in your website are playing binaural???? or are they 5.1???
Thanks! The Atmos samples on my website are binaural. Then there are also some stereo mixes up there as well.
Thank You So Much
Superb!

In terms of deliverables, I would check with the client to see what they would like. If reverb makes the music work, I would deliver with reverb.
So not heard that not even felt
