Fiedler Audio has announced that Mastering Console for Dolby Atmos is now available. This stand-alone application, derived from the Fiedler Audio Dolby Atmos Composer, offers comprehensive features for mastering, loudness measurement, and essential setup details, making it easy to refine Dolby Atmos mixes.

As the first accessible to all Dolby Atmos mastering solution, including producers who have not yet embraced the Dolby Atmos Composer workflow, the Mastering Console is fully approved and certified by Dolby Labs. It’s compatible with all Dolby Atmos ADM/BWF files and, for the first time, it allows a Dolby Atmos mix to be treated just like a stereo mix when it comes to mastering.

The Mastering Console truly shines when the Fiedler Audio gravitas MDS dynamics processor (sold separately) is integrated into its mastering section. Gravitas MDS offers 128 channels of dynamics processing, allowing precise fine-tuning of the dynamics for each channel, whether it is a bed or an object.

Mastering Console provides a professional-level routing setup for monitoring with any Dolby Atmos compatible speaker layout (up to 9.1.6) and headphones simultaneously. It includes a comprehensive calibration feature called Room Tuning, which allows for adjustments to volume, delay time, and EQ curves for each speaker.

For complying with the requirements of distributors Mastering Console offers an ultra-fast loudness measurement system to conveniently adjust the Dolby Atmos file for the perfect -18 LUFS and true peak limit.

Before exporting the master as an ADM/BWF file and/or multichannel re-renders (speaker formats and headphones output), program-level metadata such as Downmix, Trim, and Balance can be adjusted in the Options section.
