This video is a complete exploration of all DAWs that support Immersive Audio and Dolby Atmos for the ultimate immersive mix. I explored the capabilities, ease, and setup of each DAW when it comes to Dolby Atmos mixes with Stereo and Three-Dimensional tracks, using both the native Dolby Atmos Renderer of each DAW (when available), and Dolby Atmos Composer from Fiedler Audio.
Additionally, a ranking based on my personal opinion of the BEST 6 DAWS for producing immersive audio and Dolby Atmos mixes as of today, 1/1/2024.
This video is based merely on my PERSONAL OPINION, if you have anything to add, feel free to leave the comment below! Let's have a healthy discussion and find what the best DAW for Dolby Atmos is for you!
