This really does seem like entirely Dolby’s decision(s). Just because Nuendo uses ASIO doesn’t mean it’s the bottleneck for Atmos functionality, and it also doesn’t mean that Steinberg is the only one that can ‘fix’ it. It simply makes no difference to a Windows user.Īnd ‘no’, I really don’t see how ASIO is limiting here. I’m not going to not upgrade because OSX users get more, or I’ll switch to a Mac and still upgrade. I’ll upgrade regardless of whether or not Nuendo has more Atmos functionality on OSX. If it works on OSX because of coreaudio then Steinberg could implement it on OSX and offer customers that and still sell the copies for Windows, because as a Nuendo user on Windows I have no choice. 100% if they ever release the renderer on Windows, it will be using ASIO. Seems pretty logical to me that Steinberg is holding back functionality to sell more copies of Nuendo to Windows users, while Dolby works out there ASIO issues. What does ASIO have to do with this? Can you do anything in Nuendo with ATMOS without ASIO? Perhaps Steinberg and Dolby find a solution to fill that gap in Nuendo. The GUI looks very similar as in Dolby Atmos Production Suite with the one key difference, that there is the option “Binaural” to be selected. It already allows to select a downmix to 7.1 (not 100% sure) or 5.1 or even Stereo. From what I know, it is about $500 per year.Ī good solution would be to use (extend) the Nuendo-built-in Dolby Atmos plugin. Perhaps because it was an evaluation license only.ĭownsight of DEE is its price. Binaural Encoding does require a special DLL Upon request, it was not given to me. Runs quite OK and can even encode to Dolby Atmos in Dolby-TrueHD. It is called Dolby Encoding Engine (DEE). Besides DAPS, there is a Dolby Atmos Encoder for Windows. The Dolby Atmos Production Suite (DAPS, MacOS only) allows exports in Dolby Atmos (DD+) or binaural (stereo WAV). And this is not possible as of today (as MatthiasNYC stated already). Here it is more about QA’ing your Dolby Atmos export against a Dolby Atmos decoder (AVR etc) or a binaural export for headphones. To my understanding, this is not quite the point here. Asio4all is one of the few ASIO drivers supporting audio devices of different brands. I am using Asio4all to aggregate two audio devices (8x outputs each) to audition my stuff in Nuendo directly on a 7.1.4 speaker system. I am sorry, but I do not understand your comments around ASIO.
