You’re the Man! Thanks a lot for making it easier to understand, sometimes the manuals speak a language of their own… thanks again, subscribed on the fly!

Thanks so much. Fantastic video, relevant and professional. Spent my Christmas Eve with you man because we asked and you delivered. Would love to see a vid about using surround reverbs, busses and routing etc for surround sound, FMP etc. Happy Christmas.

Sheps says that if you use objects instead of beds, they fold down to binaural with their panniong data, but the beds fold down arbitarily based on level. You have to keep Lfe in the beds

Well done and tremendously helpful - thank you so much.

Thanks for the in depth explanation! I always found that there were steps missing in both Avid and Dolby’s tutorials.

I know why you laughed at "bed panner" you naughty boy! haha
Loved this video, really appreciate it. Thanks doc!

Jon, will you be able to do an update on the new for Dolby Atmos version 5?

You pointed it out! Avid must put this into protools directly…
