Dolby Atmos Composer enables you produce Spatial Audio in any DAW, even the stereo-only ones
Fiedler Audio has announced Dolby Atmos Composer and Dolby Atmos Composer Essential, plugins that they say bring Spatial Audio to any DAW.
Dolby Atmos Composer combines multichannel audio rendering and straightforward routing, 3D-panning of tracks, and signals from DAW tracks into the 3D world of Atmos.
The Dolby Atmos Composer’s Beam Plug-In 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 panning automation.
Advanced Mixing Workflow
With the Dolby Atmos Composer workflow, you can bring all the features of your DAW and your favorite plugins, into your Dolby Atmos mix. You can also record new tracks while already mixing for Dolby Atmos, something impossible when using certain standard Dolby Atmos workflows.
Exporting finished 3D audio projects into the standard ADM/BWF Format is very straightforward. They say that delivering sound and music for the major platforms is no challenge anymore – for the likes of Netflix, Apple Music, Tidal, Amazon Music, and even Binaural Stereo for any distribution platform that is not yet supporting Spatial Audio.

From version 1.5 onwards, the 3D reverb Spacelab will directly connect to the Dolby Atmos Composer, bringing world-class immersive reverberation to Dolby Atmos mixes with just one simple click.
