I was under the impression Cubase didn’t, I stand corrected
Thanks
It doesn’t. But you didn’t make it clear you were talking about Nuendo vs Cubase so I thought you meant only Nuendo has this option (and for example not Pro Tools).
So yeah, Cubase has one bed, Nuendo 64, and Pro Tools and others I’m sure have more than one as well.
64 Beds? At 10 channels per bed. That’s 640 channels. Is THAT how they get around the 128 Objects limitation? You can place unlimited objects in those beds?
It’s probably an arbitrary limitation within Nuendo with zero practical consequences (since the number is so large). If anything what is important is that Cubase is limited to just one. You’re still stuck with 128 total in the renderer as far as I know.
Now that I’ve had coffee (but maybe not enough) - at least one bed per project, and a bed can be as low as two channels. 128/2=64.
Thats right.
If you are in a room and all the bird and traffic sound is coming from the left window you end up using 3.1 bed
It’s common to have a 3.1, 5.1 and a 7.1 bed for various scenes/locations/backgrounds.
Right now I am slightly busy with my novel. But can shoot a quick tutorial.
I would probably just have one widest bed for all scenes unless there’s a reason to split that up. In other words one 7.1.2 bed for effects for example and if there’s a quad or LCR effect at some point it fits fine in that wider bed. Having a separate bed for that seems like a waste unless whatever is that width needs to be split out for archival/remix purposes.

99% of of these features and the rules behind them make sense in POST. Is there anything approaching a “Best Practices Standard” for mixing music only?
Others at Cubase would be better able to chime in. So I don’t speak for the musicians but here in India songs are integral part of the cinematic experience and many go to the theatre just to experience song in an DTS or Atmos setup. Nothing in Stereo comes close to that experience.
And if even 30 percent of the original experience could be recreated in home theatre setup it’s worth it. That said, all the tools are there in Nuendo in fact more than other DAW. V14 should be arriving in few months and I expect it to be explosive. Hopefully It may have a few Music Demos Projects.
There are some fantastic paid tutorials released by Dolby showcasing how various Grammy award masters go about transforming their stereo mix into Atmos.
Watching them the best practice I could filter out of their practices is to get your stereo mix done first and then explode it to Atmos.
Also if you have Apple logic, then it has very interesting and well constructed perfect one to one recreation of hit songs, from Ellie Dixon -Swing, Billie Eilish-Ocean Eyes, Montero, Take a day trip-Manzana all in Stereo as well as its perfect reconstruction In Atmos. It also shows you their workflow and Best Practice to create a Stereo mix using just the native tools and then explode it to Atmos and Apple Spatial Audio.
