How Does Dolby Atmos Work and How Do You Master for Spatial Audio?

Thanks for this insightful information Peter. Appreciated as always.

We just edited the Olympics in immersive. (We've edited them 5.1 discreet since Beijing 2008, pro-logic surround since Sydney 2000)

Basic approach was channel (rather than object) based. Truck generated bespoke 5.1 and on-passed the 4 host height channels + extra 4 spot mics. The immersive part was then mixed in control room as it aired (trucks generally not that well suited for immersive monitoring).

Edit was mostly to replicate/match truck 16 channel output but plenty of rebalancing, replacing, revoicing. Had to keep immersive tracks matching the rear surrounds.

Used Avid, would've possibly been a bit easier with PP adaptive tracks.

FCPx doesn't have output or export options for it to work, at least not as far as I could figure. Network + freelance editors heavily tied up with Avid anyway.
