Dolby Laboratories is introducing the Dolby Atmos Album Assembler, a new tool for mastering music projects mixed in Dolby Atmos. With the Dolby Atmos Album Assembler, music creators now have a simple-to-use tool for sequencing Dolby Atmos tracks for delivery as a completed album. The tool is available for purchase for $99 through the Avid Marketplace and also available as a free 90-day trial through Dolby.
A Solution For Mastering Dolby Atmos Content
Album Assembler is for engineers who are sequencing and mastering albums in Dolby Atmos. Up until now they have faced many challenges due to the complexity of applying processing to an entire mix and with maintaining proper metadata settings for each song. To address this, Dolby has actively engaged with the creative community to develop the Dolby Atmos Album Assembler; a tool that makes it easier than ever to master and deliver content in Dolby Atmos.
Dolby Atmos Album Assembler works as an add-on to the Dolby Atmos Renderer application, purchased separately via the Dolby Atmos Production Suite or Dolby Atmos Mastering Suite, to provide a straightforward way to sequence album tracks and apply final mastering touches to the complete record before exporting mastered Dolby Atmos ADM BWF files. For example:
The Dolby Atmos Album Assembler includes the following features:
Import Dolby Atmos ADM BWF files and sequence them on the timeline
Monitor through the connected Dolby Atmos Renderer application (must be purchased separately via the Dolby Atmos Production or Mastering Suite)
Edit song durations and apply fade ins/outs
Adjust song levels
Apply EQ and limiting processing technology built from the ground up for Dolby Atmos
Compare Dolby Atmos songs to mastered stereo files with the Stereo reference track
Measure loudness
Export mastered Dolby Atmos ADM BWF files
Mastering engineers and music creators can access the mastering tool starting today. To learn more or purchase the Dolby Atmos Album Assembler, please visit the Avid Marketplace.
