If cant use either, you may be able to use the “Rotate” knob to rotate the virtual space around you. You can do this without the head tracker and use your computer’s webcam as well.

The head tracker is cool to have because it attaches to your headphones and it uses Bluetooth to communicate your head position to the computer. , we need to use the Ambisonics version of Nx VMR Nx VMR comes with traditional surround sound formats as well as an Ambisonics (B Format) plugin. Dolby Atmos seems to be the happy medium for market and consumers.įor Dolby Atmos in Cubase, you need a virtual Ambisonics studio plugin like Waves Nx Virtual Mix Room (VMR). The only thing more immersive would be actual 2nd and 3rd order Ambisonics, which Cubase has been able to mix, export, and play back exported files for a while now.

It allows the mix engineer listen to the full 360ish spectrum of Dolby Atmos to make better mix decisions in using the vast amount of mixing space afforded by Dolby Atmos (More than stereo and 7.1). While I don’t think “dynamic binaural” is a actual term, I think its an accurate summation of this work-around to overcome head locked binaural immersive audio problem. Monitoring Dolby Atmos mixes in your headphones ( dynamic binaural). I found a few workarounds on YouTube using plugins and gear I already own which is Cubase 12 Pro, MR816x Steinberg/Yamaha audio interface, Waves Nx Virtual Mix Room plugin, and the Waves Nx Head Tracker hardware. That’s the best way I can explain my experience in the immersive audio challenge with Dolby Atmos in headphones.

Its seems like a similar principle with immersive audio played in a head-locked binaural listening scenario. Its like looking at 360 degree photos without the option to change the perspective to view the rest of the 360 field of view -its a 180 photo as far as the viewer is concerned. Localization of sounds panned to the back half and large portions of the height information (bottom and top) will be hard to perceive from a fixed binaural (head-locked) listening scenario. Without a 7.1.2 or 7.1.4 physical monitor setup, we can only hear a binaural mix with a limited sense of Atmos/surround/ambisonics beyond less than 180 degrees of the front half of a 360 sphere. There are, however, a few challenges when it comes to experiencing the full immersive sound of Dolby Atmos in headphones and the ability to check the immersive quality of the Dolby Atmos ADM file after it is exported. I continue to be excited about Dolby Atmos being a native function in Cubase 12.
