Chapter 55: Mixing to Dolby Atmos 1247
Object Controls
Object controls shown in the Edit and Mix window
Object view mirror each other on a track-by-track ba-
sis. These controls let you assign audio, Auxiliary In-
put, and Instrument tracks to object output paths, au-
tomate toggling of the track between the Bus and
Object output, and set the control mode for object
panning metadata.
Object Path Selector
The Object Path Selector lets you assign the track to
any available object output path (defined in the Bus
page of the I/O Setup).
Output Window Button
The Output Window button in the Object view opens
the Output Window for the track.
Bus/Object Toggle
The Bus/Object toggle switches the routing of
track audio between the Output selected in the I/O
view (
Bus) and the selected object output path
(
Object).
• When toggled to
Bus, the track behaves like a
normal Pro Tools track. The only exception is
that track panning is controlled by the 7.1.2 ob-
ject panner regardless of the channel width of
the selected Output.
• When toggled to
Object, the selected Output in
I/O view is completely bypassed and track audio
follows the selected object output path to the
Renderer. Also, all pan automation is translated
to Dolby Atmos metadata and sent over the net-
work to the Renderer. No panning automation is
applied to the track audio in Pro Tools.
Bus/Object toggle can be automated (see “Ob-
ject/Bus Toggle Automation” on page 1253).
