How to Use Neumann RIME Inside WaveLab 13 for Dolby Atmos

Every now and then a single viewer question sends me right back to the roots of this channel, and this one did exactly that. Someone asked how to combine Neumann RIME with WaveLab 13, and it turns out this trips up far more people than I expected. In this video I walk through how to properly monitor a Dolby Atmos mix on headphones inside WaveLab 13 using the Neumann RIME binaural renderer, including the one small stumbling block that stops most people in their tracks. If you own Neumann headphones and you've ever tried to set this up, you'll know exactly the moment I'm talking about.

I also cover a bonus that uses the very same approach: adding Apple Spatial Monitoring to WaveLab so you can audition your mix the way Apple listeners will hear it. Whether you're mastering in a full Atmos room or working from a laptop in a coffee shop, this is a simple, reliable way to virtualize a studio and trust what you're hearing on the go. It's a niche topic, but if you're one of the few people searching for this answer, this one's for you.
