Dolby Atmos Composer Essential
Enter the Dolby Atmos mixing experience on any DAW, for free.Next generation immersive workflow
When you want to get creative or just need to get work done, you need tools which do the heavy lifting. The Dolby Atmos Composer does that and thereby enables you to quickly get convincing results while mixing in Dolby Atmos. No matter which DAW you use, if you have a sophisticated multichannel mixing room or just use headphones for monitoring, the features and the ease of use of the Dolby Atmos Composer are unrivalled.
The Fiedler Audio workflow is what really sets it apart from others. You can keep your entire creative track creation open and available from the demo, to final, to stereo and Atmos mix. All while staying in your original creative DAW. Changing panning, levels, or effects never need to be compromised by getting locked into pre-mixes.

Dolby Atmos offers the canvas for today's cutting-edge creativity, but too many creatives have trouble combining the ways of Atmos with their personal workflow. The Dolby Atmos Composer takes care of that. It allows me to create music for Atmos in a way I want in any music program I want, even in programs that currently only offer stereo. From plug-and-play to next-level deep sea exploration of Atmos’ possibilities. I’m in.

The creative workflow is just amazing. With Dolby Atmos Composer, the 3D reverb Spacelab, and finally the Mastering Console with gravitas MDS dynamics you get breathtaking results fast. I love the fact that you can easily expand your existing stereo mixes to Atmos or even mix in Stereo and Atmos at the same time.

Dolby Atmos Composer allows me to work cross-platform very easily and enables instant mixing in immersive audio. The integration into existing workflows is terrific and takes sound creation to a new level..

Next level Panning
The Dolby Atmos Beam Essential is the sophisticated and versatile panning plugin coming with the Dolby Atmos Composer Essential. Easily automated complex movements and circumvent your DAW's routing limitations.
3D Reverb on any DAW
Our spacelab series plugins are highend immersive reverbs with a sound rivalling the best and features you won't find anywhere. They connect instantly to the Dolby Atmos Composer Essential giving you the best 3D reverb experience even on stereo-only DAW's with just a few clicks.
With Dolby Atmos Composer, Fiedler Audio have produced the first non-Dolby solution to rendering Atmos music mixes. But Dolby Atmos Composer also brings Atmos mixing to almost any DAW, and it offers routing options that make Dolby’s own renderer seem somewhat Byzantine. It’s Atmos mixing for the masses.

The main point is that you can use Dolby Atmos Composer and its partner Beam in any DAW, even those limited to two channels. The results are impressive, even through headphones (although, of course, even better if you have access to a full surround speaker array!).
