Atmos Mix Rescue & Remedial Pass
Third-party Atmos mix not translating or failing QC? We diagnose it, fix it and get it through delivery.
Immersive mixes fail for a small number of recurring reasons: everything loaded into the bed, objects placed without regard for the binaural render, phase problems that only appear on fold-down, or metadata that never matched the mix.
Diagnosis before surgery
We start with an assessment of the delivered session or file and report exactly what is wrong and what it will take to fix. You decide whether to proceed before any remedial work begins.
Typical repairs
- Rebalancing bed and object distribution
- Correcting phase and correlation issues affecting fold-down
- Re-tuning binaural translation and object distances
- Loudness and metadata correction
- Re-delivery with a verified QC report
Frequently Asked Questions
My Atmos mix was rejected by the platform. Can you fix it?
In most cases, yes. We diagnose the cause, carry out the corrections and re-deliver with a verified QC report.
Do you need the original session?
The original session gives the most complete repair options, but we can also work from the delivered ADM BWF for many issues.
Why does my immersive mix sound worse than the stereo?
Usually because content sits in the bed rather than as objects, or because the binaural render was never tuned. Both are correctable.
How long does a rescue take?
Assessment is typically same-week, with remedial work scoped from the findings. Urgent pre-release turnarounds can be accommodated.
