Overview of the Dolby Atmos plug-in in Logic Pro for Mac
The Dolby Atmos plug-in is automatically inserted on the Audio Effect slot of the surround master channel strip when you choose Dolby Atmos from the Spatial Audio pop-up menu in the Audio project settings. The Dolby Atmos plug-in is not available in the plug-in menu. It is the heart of the Dolby Atmos project, performing the processing necessary for a Dolby Atmos mix.
The Dolby Atmos plug-in renders the object-based Dolby Atmos mix to channel-based output for monitoring. It only works in 48 kHz or 96 kHz. Logic Pro performs the necessary sample rate conversion in real time if a project is set to a different sample rate.
