Fiedler Audio Dolby Atmos Composer & Gravitas MDS Bundle — Free Download

Purpose and Integration

The Dolby Atmos Composer streamlines Atmos production by removing manual setup burdens, allowing you to work within any DAW without immersive-specific capabilities. It is approved by Dolby Labs and includes the Dolby Atmos Beam panning plugin for automating complex object movements, effectively bypassing typical DAW limitations.

Gravitas MDS serves as a high-end dynamics processor, optimized for mastering but equally suited for individual tracks, groups, buses, and complete mixes. Its design focuses on transparency—when used gently, it shapes dynamic range without sounding colored. Conversely, aggressive settings can deliver pronounced punch, especially on drums.

Key Capabilities

Gravitas distinguishes itself with unique features beyond standard compressors and expanders. You can create complex compression and expansion curves, apply limiting to both gain reduction and gain increase, and use variable filters for both processing and detection paths. Parameter linking across all instances in a session ensures consistent behavior, while variable channel linking and a variable peak mode add further control. The «3DET» mode, inspired by a classic AMEK mastering compressor, provides a distinctive detection character.

This bundle enables advanced mixing workflows that would otherwise be impossible in standard Atmos environments. You can record new tracks while already mixing for Atmos, a capability that is particularly difficult in DAWs like Pro Tools. Fiedler Audio emphasizes that all your favorite plugins—effects and instruments—can be brought into the Atmos mix, leveraging the full power of your existing setup.

Workflow and Export

With the Dolby Atmos Composer, your standard DAW becomes a complete Atmos mixing environment. Setup is simplified, eliminating the need for a dedicated immersive-capable DAW. You can freely automate panning and movements using the Beam plugin, which complements your DAW’s automation. The integration with Spacelab reverb adds immersive depth effortlessly, enhancing the spatial quality of your mix. This setup supports recording new tracks during the Atmos mixing phase, a practical advantage for iterative production sessions.

For distribution, the composer exports your work as ADM/BWF files, the standard format for direct delivery to major platforms such as Apple Music, Amazon Music, Tidal, and Netflix. This streamlines the final step of delivering professional Atmos content to listeners. The combination of flexible mixing and straightforward export makes this bundle a comprehensive solution for creators aiming to release immersive audio on commercial streaming services, without the typical technical hurdles.

Practical Applications

Gravitas MDS is versatile across many dynamics tasks. In mastering, it can gently tame peaks or reshape the overall dynamic contour of a mix. On drums, it can deliver intense, aggressive compression for a modern, punchy sound. For ambient or classical material, a subtle setting preserves natural dynamics while controlling inconsistencies. The multichannel input configuration provides flexibility for handling complex signals, whether for a stereo bus or a full surround or Atmos master.

The Dolby Atmos Composer is intended for music producers, post-production houses, and content creators who need to deliver Dolby Atmos mixes from any DAW. It is especially beneficial for those working in Pro Tools or other DAWs without native immersive features, enabling them to compete with larger facilities.
