    Edgar, I enjoyed this tutoral even more than reading your book. You did a wonderful job on this 'newer frontier' more of us are beginning to traveling upon. It has been painstaking at times, converting our Control Room from 5.1 to Atmos 7.1.4, but so exciting as we can see the golden finish-line ahead. We in this industry must be the gatekeepers to continue to strive/insist for the excellence in audio production. While the music industry has cheapened what is such a low standard of quality from our profession, just for consumers convenience. I continue to hold on to the belief, show the quality of what can be acheived, and maybe make music listening again a singular experience unto itself.

    One thing I didn't get, though - the mention of The Who's Quadrophenia album (7:11 in the intro). While it was a great album, I think it was only ever mixed in stereo. Perhaps 'quadrophonic' would be a more fitting graphic, and Dark Side of the Moon a more fitting example?

      @@jewtubetruckers Well Spatial Audio is Apples implementation of Dolby Atmos within their headphones, the newer models of AirPods allow you to position yourself in various angles besides head on for the intended mix that the engineer/artist made the song for. It's like you're in the studio listening to the music but you can turn you head to listen to different parts of the song, like you would be at a concert maybe. So you can listen to Atmos song in Atmos, but not if you're using non-Apple headphones, essentially, all spatial is Atmos, but not all Atmos is spatial, granted the situation changes not on the song you're listening to, but whether its with Apple Music and their AirPods lineup.

    I have 2 of your books on doing Dolby Atmos. My main interest at the moment is setting up Logic Pro X with the external version of the Renderer. But there is something I'm missing about getting audio into the Bed. I.e., a stereo track In Logic routed to Outputs 1&2 doesn't make it. And there is no Surround panner in the Channel Strip. Is it even possible to do a complete Dolby Atmos mix with Logic and the external Renderer software? Can you point me to the parts of either or both your books that describe how Beds are filled from Logic Pro? The Object workflow, aided by the Music Panner and the Bridge seems straightforward. Thanks for all of this; it is very complete and very useful. And, of course, the internal/native workflow is clear.

      Yes, Logic Pro has the integrated (build-in) Dolby Atmos Renderer. The only other DAWs at the moment are Nuendo, Cubase, and DaVinci. That means, yes, you don't need to buy the Dolby Atmos Renderer and you can create and export a Dolby Atmos mix, but keep in mind that all those DAWs only have a more or less limited feature set of what the standalone Dolby Atmos Renderer app provides.

    Apple’s confusion hijacking “immersive audio” with “spatial audio” is well explained in the Distribution section of this video around 35:00-35:35. That is … the consuming public is misinformed because the Renderer is NOT used for spatial audio. Thus, your TRUE Dolby Atmos mix/master file is not properly presented to the consumer because it is REDUCED to ‘spatial audio’. I concur with other comments praising the excellence of this video. Thank you, Edgar.

    • @MusicTechExplained
      @MusicTechExplained  3 роки тому

      You would expect that this information would be part of a big announcement from Dolby (of course not from Apple). However, after the rollout, that information slowly trickled through on the Internet on various discussion forums where professionals were scratching their head and wondering what was going on.
      About the Biaural signal, that is another head scratcher. Apple is using Dolby's old codec "DD+JOC" that was designed for theatrical playback of Atmos content. It doesn't include any of the Render Modes that you set specifically for each of the 128 channels. Only the newer coded AC4-IMS (used by Tidal) uses the actual Render Modes because it is designed for Binaural Headphone Playback.
      Apple is using the DD+JOC encoded file and applies their own Binaural Renderer to create "Headphone Virtualization", what they call "Spatial Audio". In the Dolby Atmos Renderer your only option is to use the MP4 export feature and playback that file on an iPhone to get an idea how your mix sounds on Apple Music. Pretty messed up, isn't it?

      If I understand this right, this spatial audio will playback true in their own hardware renders..but not if it's sent to other hardware which uses Dolby's master file rendering?
      That would definitely cause confusion. And if so, why would Dolby allow this?

    • @MusicTechExplained
      @MusicTechExplained  3 роки тому

      @@rastAsia Almost. ADM BWF is the Dolby Atmos Master delivered to all streaming services. They just use different encoders to shrink the huge ADM BWF file to a manageable file size. All three codecs are Dolby codecs. Apple choose DD+JOC, Tidal used AC4-IMS (and also DD+JOC), and for Blu-ray, there is TrueHD.
      You might read that that the Atmos mix is delivered as a 5.1 mix, but that is misleading. That is were the JOC acronym comes in. THe DD+ codec is a 5.1 downmix, but there is some clever encoding going on that additional metadata can retrieve the original object-based Atmos mix from the channel-based 5. downmix.
      About the politics between Apple and Dolby, my guess is that Apple has more power and is doing things that Dolby might not be so happy about it. They just want to get Dolby Atmos to the mass market and allowing some compromises that are very questionable.

    Nice video. With Apple Music playing back songs in Spatial Audio, this results in Dolby Atmos mixes being rendered with Apple's own rendering software to your listening device. Is the processing done with the listening device? i.e. Using my phones processing to render a binaural playback over headphones?
    What about then switching off Spatial Audio, where does that stereo mix originate from? Is it a Dolby Atmos fold down to 2.0. CD Baby distribute Atmos ADM BWF files only to Apple Music, so Apple Music is not playing back the original stereo mix? How would you have both the original stereo mix nad an Atmos master of your song hosted with Apple Music via CD baby?

I have a room of 23 square meters with a height of 2.3 meters. Is it too low or might I be able to do some decent mixes?

    • @MusicTechExplained
      @MusicTechExplained  2 роки тому +1

      Technically, you could mix with headphones through binaural rendering, but it is not recommended because HRTF technology is not there yet. For pre-mixing maybe, but you should check (master) in a proper 7.1.4 room.
      Anything less than 7.1.4 is a compromise, especially if you have only two height speakers. The spatial resolution is just not there.
      The 2.3m height might work but depends on the type of speakers you use because their depth and mounting kit reduce the effective height. However, a lot of small rooms will be equipped with 7.1.4 systems as we speak. You have to work with what you got.

    Hi,
    I’m new to computer music making, was thinking of using Reaper and paying for Atmos. Logic has it built in and the Dolby Atmos site makes it sound like I would loose nothing with Logic. Have any of you looked to see if you get it all for $200 instead of $300. I’ve spent the last month learning Reaper. But if Logic would be better for Atmos I would switch.
    I only want to use the DAW to make 3D audio. I’m a hardware guy.
    I got an M1 16Gig Mac to do this.
    Thanks

      The Dolby Atmos integration in Logic gets up and running producing Dolby Atmos content. However, it has some serious limitations regarding the full feature functionality in the standalone Dolby Atmos Renderer app.
      Reaper is not officially supported with Reaper but I have seen videos where people using it. I would recommend checking out those UA-cam videos. The key aspect is that you need a 7.1.2 Surround Panner for the Beds and that DAW needs to be able to address all 130 audio channels of the Dolby Audio Bridge.
      Hope that helps.

    Hey there! Excellent video, I've just subbed and liked! But I have a little question here : I've just watched your amazing video twice, and it seems that the info about Apple using its own decoder for decoding Atmos still puzzles me... If I remember the graph right, it seems that the only contexts in which the actual Atmos decoder is used on in an "Apple" context is with Apple TV for "real" listening (by "real" I just mean non-binaural... Is there a word for that, by the way?) Is there a good reason to believe that Apple may have better head transfer functions data than Atmos would? If I were to mix an Atmos mix with my headphones, I would probably unknowingly take into account my OWN head transfer function, just beacause I'm me, and there isn't much I can do about that! But I guess that Dolby Atmos could indeed be the stereo of the future under one condition : if indeed people managed to get personalized HRTFs, then the binaural experience could be just about perfect for a specific user listening to music. I personally doubt that people will invest large sums of money into that, but... Apple probably does have a TON of data. So, if Apple has its OWN decoding engine (I'm assuming supposedly better than Atmos, else I just don't see the point), and if they have the TON of data they probably have, is there a way they might estimate the HTRFs of users based on pictures of their faces? Photographs? Listening habits? That kind of thing? I appreciate your time in advance if you do have anything to reply, and will keep pondering if you don't! Thank you very much!

    Great video, thank-you for this. I was intrigued about your comment on another UA-camr's channel regarding a common problem you're seeing with people using the Atmos rendering within Logic 10.7 but with Binaural headphones and the final track you submit to Apple Music not sounding right? I ask because I intend to mix for Atmos in Logic 10.7 but I can't afford a fully Atmos kitted out studio right now so would just be using my Airpods Pro. It would be good - if you get a moment - if you could explain what you meant in a video if possible :) Also - are you going to be updating your Logic book being at all? Many Thanks!

      Apple could care less about how the individual Atmos mix sound. However, there are technical specifications that have to be met and if people just clicking around in Logic and think that would fly without learning those Atmos details then they might be up for some surprises/rejections.
      UA-cam doesn't allow to post links, so google "Apple Immersive Source Profile" and you should find the document.
