I have 20 physical audio channels setup as 10 stereo channels (ASIO). I have about 45 tracks and that have their audio output set to a mix of these 10 stereo channels. I want to be able to slowly shift the output of one track’s audio channel to another audio channel.
Audio configuration:
Front L/R (stereo)
Front 45 L/R (stereo)
10F Center L/R (stereo)
20F Center L/R (stereo)
Rear 45 L/R (stereo)
Rear 90 L/R (stereo)
Floor Center L/R (stereo)
Ceiling Rear L/R (stereo)
Ceiling Center L/R (stereo)
Ceiling Front L/R (stereo)
Track 1 set to Front L/R
Track 2 set to Front 45 L/R
Track 3 set to Ceiling Front L/R
Track 4 set to Rear 90 L/R
… etc.
Track 45 set to Floor Center L/R
I want to slowly transition Track 3 audio channel assignment to Ceiling Front L/R to Floor Center L/R.
Is this an elaborate Dolby Atmos setup? If not, you could explore using sends for your outputs. Cubase has a hard limit of 8 sends per channel/track but with 8 sends (set to pre fader) plus the channel output, you would be able to route a track to any of your 20 outputs.
Yes, Dolby Atmos. Looks like it might be best for me to do the mixing in DaVinci Resolve … was trying to avoid Atmos for destination/delivery (long story) … it’s a bit clunky doing sends to fader in Cubase 14.
I don’t have any personal experience with Dolby Atmos but as I understand it, you should be able to do Atmos authoring in Cubase. Have you read and followed the steps outlined here?
Yes I can do it in Cubase but it’s just easier to do it in Resolve with video … doesn’t have to be “Object” based but that’s is the most common (and easier) approach. Just trying to avoid the entire Dolby license process and Atmos implementation requirements.
Looks like Google and Samsung are presenting a “license free” equivalent to Atmos at CES … hmmm … interesting!
