Germany-based Fiedler Audio has announced the immediate availability of Dolby Atmos Composer and Dolby Atmos Composer Essential, both designed to provide a simplified creative workflow to produce Dolby Atmos content, and they’re both available for download from the company website at reduced pricing until May 5, 2023.
Approved by Dolby Labs, Dolby Atmos Composer combines multichannel audio rendering and straightforward routing, 3D-panning of tracks, and signals from DAW tracks into the world of Atmos. Dolby Atmos Composer’s Beam plugin allows creators to send their audio signals from anywhere in the session into the Composer, the home of the Dolby Atmos Renderer. Signals there can be panned to the Dolby Atmos bed and individually treated as objects in 3D space on one of the 128 independent channels available, including full 3D pan-automation of course.
Exporting finished projects into the standard ADM/BWF Format is designed to be straightforward in working with music distribution platforms such as Netflix, Apple Music, Tidal, Amazon Music, and even Binaural Stereo for many other distribution platforms that are not yet supporting spatial audio. From version 1.5 onward, the 3D reverb Spacelab will directly connect to the Dolby Atmos Composer on virtually any DAW and without complex routing.
Hans-Martin Buff, engineer and producer for Prince, Scorpions, Peter Gabriel and others, says, “Dolby Atmos offers the canvas for today’s cutting-edge creativity, but too many creatives have trouble combining the ways of Atmos with their personal workflow. The Dolby Atmos Composer takes care of that. It allows me to create music for Atmos in a way I want in any music program I want, even in programs that currently only offer stereo. From plug-and-play to next-level deep sea exploration of Atmos’ possibilities. I’m in!“
David Merkl, sound engineer at msm-studios, adds, “Dolby Atmos Composer allows me to work cross-platform very easily and enables instant mixing in immersive audio. The integration into existing workflows is terrific and takes sound creation to a new level.”
