As I've been spending more time at home, I've been making audio soundscapes that I envision using in outdoor immersive environments.
Thinking more, and watching the Skywalker Sound seminar as part of AES last week got me thinking about surround and Dolby Atmos.
Is there a way that I could
1. Setup an audio system using a Mac and analog/ DIY/ non-licensed gear to playback surround or Atmos (surround +height) audio that plays from Qlab or VLC or other cheap/ easy software.
2. Mix surround or Atmos on software on my Mac, listen on stereo headphones and save a file that's easily played back from a single file on the above system.
Essentially, I'm imagining an outdoor space with a bunch of speakers and being able to assemble an immersive soundtrack to play on it. Mostly soft instrumental swells, bird and insect noise and wind type stuff.
