Getting Started with Dolby ATMOS in Studio One 6.5

In this video, I take a look at everything you need to know in order to get started with immsersive audio in Studio One 6.5. That being said - the majority of the focus, has to do with working in Binaural Mode over headphones.

True. The most knowledgeable studio one user on you tube. And does videos on topics other don’t.

one of the best tuts I've seen since 6.5 release thx God Bless you and your family PS NICE TRK

[@mcproducciones4310]

Best Video of Atmos un SO so far, it Will be nice to make a video. About how. To export. And. Playback. In your computer, no vídeo until now talk about that on SO.. Cheers. From Paraguay

[@MaPa60]

It really sounds great! Thanks for the fly over here! Seems a little limited what you can do in 512sample mode, but that might evolve. I still don't fully grasp the difference between a "bed track" and an "object track". That seems to be very important at the core of this..

[@frankwagner2161]

Thanks for the tutorial

[@OTA3D3]

Thank you a lot MArcus!

[@309fliteschool]

awesome as always. as much as i dislike the idea of being locked in to a subscription model i’ve got a serious case of fomo. 6.5 could be a game changer for sync opportunities. cheers!

[@roclowther]

Thanks for this video. 👍🏻

[@muziksculp2r]

😎👍🏻 Thank You Marcus.

[@nigelmartin3339]

Thanks for this. You can change the mode of an existing stereo mix to spatial mode from the song tab but I found no way of changing this back. Any ideas?

[@SvetoslavAtanasov]

Great tute!

[@winsloway2699]

Thanks Marcus

[@garethde-witt6433]

Yeah decided to not use Atmos as I personally don’t like the results that I have heard. I don’t think it’s good for music, so won’t be mixing for that format and although I may risk losing clients I shall be advising them of this decision. Your video is as always very informative.

[@Mutatijosh]

Buuuuuuuuullshiiiiiiit.... consider yourself an amateur bro, you have limited ideas in the creative world.

[@VoragoMaster]

Thanks! Do you know why the objects are not affected by the plugins you insert in the master fader?

[@LeoBercoff]

Hi! Is it possible to automate the Spatial Panner? Does its parameters admit automation? Thanks!

[@invitationonli]

So if i’m running an Apollo 8 into a Dangerous Dbox, i’m unable to monitor with the outboard gear?

[@tourmgt]

could you do a tutorial . template w busses as beds? TIA. God Bless

[@stephencarter8625]

Thanks - but if this was the easy to digest presentation then I’m gonna be needing a lot of indigestion medication! I’ll require my hand holding at a more basic starting point than this video commenced with - wasn’t even sure that I was looking at the Studio One console view initially and I’ve been a user since version 1. Now I need to take something for a headache as well, I’ll try to wrap my head around the Atmos variation but I might just be too long in the tooth to cope.

[@sjyounger3766]

I concur... Seems like the outputs didn't show up in on my end as they did in the tutorial but in the end I got silence.. then glitching when aborting the atmos setup. please don't tell me i need a new rig to accommodate the bells and whistles of immersive surround mixing. I think I need the average joe's setup tutorial not the big studio tutorial on this one. Thanks anyhow.

[@sunyclubband4203]

How do I export the atmos song,? is quiet every time I export it

[@tourmgt]

could you please do a tutorial on Binarual S1 template

[@nkozi]

Easily the best overview of this. I've been keeping myself on 5.5 but am very interested in this upgrade - one thing I'd like to know is how the Renderer's HP output channel handles something like Slate VSX or similar room software? I've been making great use of that for about a year now and wouldn't wanna leave it for my stereo HP monitoring.

[@MaximusWhyman]

I use VSX on the headphones out channel and it works the same as in stereo.

[@Anoridan]

It won't work with it. Or rather, it technically will, but it'd be nonsence to use it like that. If you're mixing on VSX, you're essentially mixing in stereo setup in a room that Slate made for you. Binaural mode here is for headphones, and you're on Slate speaker-in-a-room setup. That said, you're still technically in stereo, so you will be able to apply VSX to this ATMOS binauralization, but you'll end up with something stupid because you'll apply HRTF over HRTF. It's not supposed to work, just as you are not supposed to put this ATMOS into binaural mode and then mix on speakers. Either just use VSX and mix in stereo or mix in surround and without VSX. The only solution is to wait for when Slate will roll out their surround update for them. They technically can do it, but it's a matter of quality. As you can hear in this video, the ATMOS binauralisation is subtle and isn't really obvious to untrained ear.

So after months of testing, reading articles and so on, I can confirm Studio One still has serious midi jitter issues. What you play is not really what is being recorded.I've run many tests, with other audio interfaces, DAWs, computers, equipment, versions of Studio One. I have even done some clean windows installations, but nothing seems to fix it, so I can only say that Studio One is at fault. I have played drums and piano parts, arps and sequencer and the Atom, but no matter what you do, the MIDI notes ALWAYS have MIDI jitter. Some notes are recorded perfectly (a few of them actually), some ohters have midi jitter, placed here and there in a confusing way.I have gone through many tests with collaborators, even programmers and technicians (we even changed settings in the BIOS, system drivers..) but we were not able to fix it for good. There is no solution to this problem. Presonus Studio is a CRAPPY Midi DAW, terrible.

[@carstenaltena]

That’s interesting, I love S1 midi. I’d contact support if I were you. They are very helpful.

[@verifiedcustomerid8046]

@@carstenaltena Me too, I think it's a great DAW, but the MIDI always loses notes, they never fixed it since I bought the 1.0 version, any other DAW puts the MIDI in sync perfectly, S1 does not.

[@herbst1398]

Please answer me one single and tiny question, which famous song, is mixed in Atmos?

[@charlespowell4413]

There are NONE! I love how you made that point!

Object atmos is fairly recent. It's a dream come true as far as I'm concerned. You probably absolutely love rolling coal and destroying planet Earth rather than driving around in an electric car like me. Different strokes for different folks. Luddites are everywhere on this forum

Awesome content! Reality of $$$ bites for the proper Dolby studio, and you're a "Lucky Man" (cue ELP)

when i go to enable additional headphone outputs i get an error saying my audio device doesn't have enough outputs and when i bypass i get silence when joying the immersive stick? thanks again Marcus.

[@ManoGiba]

Good job Marcus ! What`s the difference between 7.1.2 and 7.1.4 ? What does it mean that .2 and .4 ?

[@kudzaic8536]

I think it's the number of overhead speakers Left and right speakers Center speaker Subwoofer Left and right surround speakers Left and right rear surround speakers Left and right top front overhead speakers Left and right top rear overhead speakers

@@kudzaic8536 Thank you very much bro ! Cheers ! 👍🙏

[@ExoticBomj]

The fact that you still cannot change the assignment of mouse buttons for panning and zooming is simply ridiculous! This setting should be in the very first version!

[@ESP77769]

Binaural seems just an EQ boost, with an enhancer. I still don't get it.

[@leaukie]

What song is being used in the video?

[@officialWWM]

Atmos is the stupidest idea since the selfie stick and I hope it dies and disappears as quickly as it arrived. We are moving even further away from what is important in music, the song and the damn talent!

[@DanaVastman]

Wow! Such anger over nothing. If you don't like it, don't use it. Personally, I think it's amazing! Apple seems to feel this way also as they are no longer accepting just stereo mixes... They are requiring atmos

[@officialWWM]

@@DanaVastman and THAT is the issue! Do you have a studio with 11 speakers in it, cause I don’t! If you can’t see that this is just a way for big business to claim back control of the music industry and cut out home producers, I don’t know what to tell you!

[@frankymino8773]

I'm with you on that. We are not angry. We are just stating the obvious. There always has to be one hey ;-) It's not mandatory to have your songs in atmos in order to upload them. Stereo is just fine. It's never been officially announced that you must have songs in atmos. Even if it does become mandatory then just open your song project and transfer it to an atmos session then render and format the master to DAMF or any of the other dolby atmos formats your daw supports. Atmos is the last thing to worry about. Create good and catchy songs that connect with the listener/audience. Atmos won't make any difference if the song is garbage. Just focus on making great songs and don't worry.

[@JonasDenolf]

For some reason if i set it to 7.1.2 and 7.1.4 i can't hear anything and don't see anything happening in dolby atmos renderer ?
