Binaural Setup for headphones

Hi, I am new to spatial recording in Logic 10.7 and I guess my Logic functions wrong compared the videos I watched.

So before getting into my setup, I already set the I/O buffer size to 1024 and enabled my project's atmos dolby and set it to 48Hz. and 7.1.4

As I watched from various videos correct setup to hear surround sound from headphones is

Atmos plugin setting - output : binaural

Track Output : Surround

Pan : 3D Planner

In this setup I hear nothing from my headphones and sometime a deep corrupted voice.

by playing around I found that I only hear sound in this setup

Atmos plugin setting - output : 7.1.4 and all other surrounds

Track Output : Stereo

Pan : Binaural Planner

But this time I only see Left & Right icons since I can only select Stereo

I saw that with binaural setting in Atmos, 7.1 surround output is available and can be heard with headphones.

What am I doing wrong ?

Thanks in advance & Best Regards

Try a new empty project. Import only 1 apple loop. Choose Mix > Dolby Atmos, and set Spatial Audio to Dolby Atmos.

In the Dolby Atmos plug-in, set the Monitoring Format to Binaural.

Now try panning the loop around?

I followed the exact same steps to try.

I see bars moving but I dont hear any sound at all.

OK I resolved the issue by :

 

Reseting the I/O assignment in the general preferences

Ah ok... had you changed them from the default? I never touched those and didn't have that issue. In any case, good to hear you resolved this.

When I move the sound to the top or to the back, I'm not sure I would actually locate the sound to the top or the back if listening blindly, but it does sound interesting and pretty good, giving the sound a different space. I thought this wasn't going to be for me but I may very well end up using this.
