# soundobjects Blender Add-On
|
|
|
|
This add-on adds three operators for working with immersive 3D audio in [Blender][blender], specifically it allows you to create ADM Broadcast
|
|
WAVE files for use with [Dolby Atmos][atmos] or other object-based sound mixing workflows.

## Operators
|
|
|
|
### `import_test.wav_file_batch`
|
|
|
|
**Import WAV Files:** This operator allows you to add multiple audio files to a .blend file so they'll be available to
|
|
the *Add Sounds to Meshes* operator.
|
|
|
|
### `object.add_speakers_to_obj`
|
|
|
|
**Add Sounds to Meshes:** This operator takes all the selected objects in the current scene and attaches a new speaker
|
|
locked to that object's location throughout the animation. You provide the prefix for the name of a set of sound files
|
|
added with the _Import WAV Files_ operator, and these are added to each selected object randomly. The sounds can be
|
|
timed to either begin playing at the beginning of the sequence, at a random time, or when the respective object is
|
|
closest to the scene's camera.
|
|
|
|
### `export.adm_wave_file`
|
|
|
|
**Export ADM Wave File:** This operator exports all of the speakers in a scene as an ADM Broadcast-WAV file compartible
|
|
with a Dolby Atmos rendering workflow. This produces a multichannel WAV file with embedded ADM metadata the passes
|
|
panning information to the client. (Has been tested and works with Avid Pro Tools 2020).
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Important Note
|
|
|
|
This add-on requires that the [EBU Audio Renderer](https://github.com/ebu/ebu_adm_renderer) (`ear` v2.0) Python package
|
|
be installed to Blender's Python.
