Hi,
I am still learning the ins and outs of Atmos. I have a question I hope someone here knows the answer to:
What is the difference between the Dolby Atmos Production Suite versus the Mastering Suite?
Other than the price difference…
DAPS=same computer as DAW
DAMS=separate mastering computer.
Software is essentially the same.
Cinema DAMS or RMU /RMW (Dolby has a problem naming stuff) is always on a separate workstation and the software has additional features.

On this page, you’ll find your answer. The big advantage of the Mastering Suite is the EQ and room calibration capabilities.

Plus, It is intended for multi room facilities as it comes with 3 Dolby Atmos licenses for prep work etc.

Just a bit further to this. For the Windows user, running DAPS on a separate MAC, to take advantage of features like binaural and re-rendering, also works well. You do need a high channel count interconnect like MADI or Dante. I had an older PC (Hackintoshed) with MADI I/O sitting about, and it’s doing great service as a DAPS renderer, slaved to my studio PC ( with MADI).
