Dolby Atmos Music

Dolby Atmos opens up an entirely new palette for creative exploration beyond conventional,

two-channel audio limitations, with more clarity, space, and depth.

Music in Dolby Atmos finally lets you be within the song instead of the song playing towards you.

How to make good STEMS for Dolby Atmos

  • Ideally all the STEMS combined should be as close to the stereo mix as possible and made from the same session file. Not to be confused with mulitrack files.

​​

  • Try to let all STEMS be processed thru the same master chain as the stereo master except limiting.

 

  • Make the STEMS as separated as possible as that opens up for much more possibilities for mixing in Atmos.

 

  • If possible, make dry STEMS and 100% wet STEMS. 

When played combined should sound the same but opens up for different placement for dry/wet in the Atmos field.

 

  • Make all the STEMS in either 48 or 96KHz as those are the sample frequencies for Atmos delivery.

 

  • If a published stereo master is available, that should also be sent to the mixer as reference as the stereo and Atmos masters must always be in perfect sync.
