Get Started with Mixing in Dolby Atmos

Pro Tools is the most widely used and loved tool for creating Atmos mixes, providing you with everything you need to mix and render immersive content—including mixing binaurally on headphones. The new integrated Dolby Atmos renderer is included free in Pro Tools Studio and Ultimate and improves the efficiency of immersive mixing workflows with simplified setup, mixing, and monitoring.

You can now render and monitor Dolby Atmos mixes within Pro Tools without having to roundtrip to an external renderer. A new window provides comprehensive visualization of your Atmos mix from various perspectives and enables you to quickly switch between multi-speaker and binaural headphone monitoring. And a new I/O Setup tab simplifies the configuration of beds, objects, groups, trim, and downmix settings and saves them as part of your session for easy recall. For customers mixing Atmos for larger cinematic workflows, needing to monitor additional speaker configurations, or use the Dolby Atmos Music Panner plugin, Pro Tools Studio and Ultimate still support the external Dolby Atmos renderer application.

Immerse yourself in sound

You can monitor Dolby Atmos mixes with headphones binaurally, but to monitor with speakers, you’ll need at least 12 dedicated outputs. Pro Tools | MTRX II and MTRX Studio go above and beyond, combining I/O, routing, and monitor control with speaker tuning all in a single interface. Additionally, the Pro Tools | Carbon interface supports 5.1 and 7.1 monitoring for Dolby Atmos.
