Are You Sure You Don’t Need An Atmos Reverb?

Even if you don’t mix in Atmos right now, it’s an increasingly important topic that is well worth thinking about today.

There’s a good chance that mix you’re working on right now is in stereo, so a two channel reverb is going to do a great job for you but have you thought about how future-proof a stereo mix is?

With Apple recently announcing that they will be paying higher royalties for Atmos mixes there are real financial incentives to take it seriously. Or if your music gets picked up for a TV or movie placements, it makes sense to be thinking about surround-capable tools now so that your track is heard the way you want it to be heard. Atmos is even relevant to audiobooks on Audible! Whoever saw those needing to consider vocal placement in a convincing room using an immersive reverb?

If there’s a call to provide an Atmos mix it’ll probably need to be turned around quickly. You, or an engineer contracted to up-mix your track, can get away using multi-mono or multiple stereo instances of dynamics, EQs and many other types of processors in a surround mix – but reverb is different. It’s the main tool in our armoury for convincingly propagating sound around the space to create a cohesive and natural sounding surround mix, so using multiple stereo reverbs often just won’t cut it.

Reverbs can be fairly tricky to match when up-mixing from stereo to surround so the original artistic vision can be difficult to accommodate without access to a surround version of the same reverb. Equally important is how they behave when down-mixed from surround to stereo. For the best possible translation of artist intent using a reverb that supports Atmos from the very beginning is by far the best long-term choice creatively and technically.

So whether you need a convincing room, faithful M7 reproduction, heritage vintage digital, versatile plate or luscious ensemble reverb that will scale from stereo to surround LiquidSonics has got you covered.
