3D / Atmos @ Metropolis

3D Audio Facility @ Metropolis Studios

Metropolis Studios launched its pioneering spatial audio mix/master facility in July 2021.

Our state of the art studio is the highest resolution in the UK and was the fastest to be Dolby certified in the world. We built the room to enable both established and emerging artists to unlock the exciting potential of 3D audio. The control room pursues a flexible ‘hub studio’ approach with a bespoke designed console which can be moved anywhere in the room allowing for multiple uses including all mixing desk based workflows. The room is also connected by hundreds of metres of fibre to our Studio A and B Live Rooms allowing us to record and broadcast live in any immersive format.

With the loudspeakers arrayed at 30° of separation, the audio monitoring in the new studio is designed to cater for all surround formats, including Dolby Atmos and 360RA. The rooms resolution sits at 11.2.8 with 11 loudspeakers in the horizontal 360’ plane, 8 height loudspeakers from front to rear and a sub array.

Dolby Atmos is an immersive audio format which uses object-based rather than channel-based delivery enabling the same master to scale to the number of speakers in any system, whether that’s a simple two-channel stereo, a 5.1 channel surround, a fully immersive 7.1.4 (or more!) surround system or a binaural representation on headphones. With Dolby Atmos, the artist is able to place each object in a precise 3-dimensional location, which will be rendered in real time during playback to the appropriate speaker in whatever system is available. 

Services

If you’re thinking of recording, mixing or mastering in any spatial format, you can now make Metropolis Studios your one-stop-shop for supporting your entire spatial workflow. To break that down, we have put together four services that will cover the journey:

Record for Atmos: take advantage of spatial recording techniques with our team of engineers. We highly recommend this approach if you want to make the most of spatial audio.

Atmos Mix: this can be done with or without additional spatial channels. Our in-house engineers can translate any multitrack mix stems into fully immersive Atmos mixes.

Atmos Master: Dolby Atmos masters created by our mastering team who will take your Atmos mix files, or stereo stems, and render this into the final Dolby Atmos master that your music deserves.

Atmos Broadcast: the opportunity to use the new studio as a broadcast hub has always been in mind from the outset. Our 3D Control Room is connected to both Studio A and B so we can mix and broadcast live and direct from Metropolis in any spatial format.

We are here to help and support your 3D workflow to deliver you the finest spatial product possible. Please get in touch with us if you have any questions 3D@thisismetropolis.com
