Spatial Media Lab

Welcome to the Lab!
The Spatial Media Lab is hosting our next ! This will not be our normal meetup schedule nor structure, because we believe that it is incredibly important to hear spatial audio and not just talk about it. Therefore, for this meetup, we have a very special panel of guests whom will be speaking at the for Music & Sound festival in Berlin on September 5th & 6th. Since these experts will be talking about the future of spatial audio at the festival, we wanted to give the community the opportunity to hear the future of spatial audio from these visionaries — Felix Deufel, Monica Bolles and Stefan Bock.

The Spatial Media Lab e.V. have created a new Reaper Template which will convert an Ambisonic recording into Dolby Atmos for free!

That's right, you can finally do something with all of those ambisonic compositions you've created. By converting them to Dolby Atmos they can be published on Apple Music. Additionally, Apple Music announced they will now pay out 10% more in streaming royalties for Spatial Audio tracks, incentivizing artists and labels to publish their mixes in Dolby Atmos. Since we at the Spatial Media Lab are open-source to the core, we believe that anyone should be able to compose music using free and open-source technologies and still be able to access these additional revenue streams. So, we created a template to do just this.

The template allows you to compose in ambisonics using any ambisonic plugins or your choice, and once you have rendered your ambisonic mix, you simply drag it into the template and it will be routed into the Fiedler Dolby Atmos Composer Essential, a free plugin suite for authoring Dolby Atmos ADM files for publishing on Apple Music.
