My ultimate goal would be to publish an Atmos mix on streaming services that support it (Distrokid offers that option). Also, I'd only be interested in mixing music. I'm mostly looking for the experience and the training to prepare myself for what I think will become more and more important. If my mixes turn out bad, because I'm only mixing on headphones (and have no clue what I'm doing), that'd be okay. I'm sure it takes a lot of expensive stuff to create professional Atmos mixes (it always takes a lot of expensive stuff ). I still know very little about it, and would like to learn by doing.

Thus, I'm considering to get my feet wet in the Atmos world by crossgrading from Cubase to Nuendo (thanks to the BF deal). However, I'd like to take it a step further, as it's kinda inconvenient to offer music that can only be listened to on headphones.

Of course, it's already possible for me to create binaural headphone mixes using plugins such as DearVR Pro. Needless to say - as always when listening to something inspiring -, I want to play with it myself now. Recently, I highly enjoyed listening to Atmos mixes in Tidal on my stereo headphones (don't have the space or properly treated room for monitors - let alone a surround system). Seems as if the good old forum days of like-minded nerds have never been gone in this niche of the internet, and we can just pretend social media was never created. Already posted in a couple of threads after lurking for a long time, but now it's time for my first own thread.
