Atmos Beds not panning correctly in top speakers ***SOLVED***

[kenobi1]

I agree its a bad decision by Dolby. You can transfer the top layer of a 7.1.4 bus to another quad bus then assign those four channels as objects to get around it.

Here we discussed it.

Has anyone successfully solved the riddle of getting a 7.1.4 group into the Atmos Renderer?

Just about everything you’ve touched on there were traps I was about to walk into. Thanks. I have Nuendo control room downmix presets 7.1.4, 7.1, 5.1 and Stereo for composing, but yes adding some additional downmix presets from the renderer makes sense. Since I use touchosc to control them I should be able to group them together with the others. Were you using quick controls, key commands or logical editor/midi remote to access those?

At the end of the thread I came up with this method. I think it can be even simplified by making an “object bed”. By creating multiple (12) objects from the bus in one command. But I have yet to use or test that method.
