Doesn't seem so complicated to me. Channel based encoding is all they offer, and I think it's exactly what we need:Everything above 8 channels will have to be encoded in Atmos and I think this is complicated.
The file simply doesn't work anymore. Smyth changed the timing of the recording sequence (about the same time they changed the voice) so I had to make a new one...@SobiC: The link to that sweep file of yours doesn't seem to work anymore. Did you remove it?
By the way: How did you make this recording? Can you make recordings of 8 analog inputs also?
You CAN measure your height channels with my method, it's just not that simple.[Edit: but still not including the height channels of course...]
Do some of you watch Netflix via the Windows 10 app ? If so, does the A16 show Dolby Atmos when playing an Atmos soundtrack ? For me, it shows only Dolby Audio, but if i activate only the Over Head virtual speakers, i hear sound (and the Dolby Surr. option is off, so i guess it's not because of upmixing).
Yet, on Windows if i play an Atmos soundtrack via Media Player Classic, the A16 does show the Dolby Atmos logo, not Dolby Audio...

I've been doing these "manual-async" measurements for almost one year now (not just for myself but also for clients) and it simply works (even Atmos rooms, my own 5.4.4 room sounds perfect)
I'm already using the Premium UHD plan. The Atmos logo appears on the Netflix app when it shows the description of the program (which doesn't appear on my Android TV that doesn't support Atmos on Netflix), but yet the A16 detects only Dolby Audio.Mine will show Dolby Atmos when watching something with a Dolby Atmos track on the Netflix app. I only had issues before when I was running the basic version of Netflix and couldn't find any Atmos content to play until I realized you have to be on their more expensive "Premium" plan to get the Atmos tracks, lol.
That would be possible if we knew the exact starting frequency, the end frequency, the duration, and the function by which the frequency rises. If we knew all that, we could probably just reverse-engineer the "real" async signals, which "introduce themselves" via DTMF tones.If the signals are pretty much the same per speaker, and the timing interval doesn't change, couldn't you construct one in Reaper for any amount of channels you wish to measure?
The A16 is a pretty good USB I/O interface and should work pretty well to capture the signal- but probably not at the same time as playing the measurement signals, so a second one would be needed. Ardour or Audacity should also work as free alternatives to Reaper. Regular A16 can only output 16 channels at a time, so for 24 channels, a measurement would require 2 passes anyway. We still don't know who has the 32 channel AES A16, presumably that person already knows how to measure a suitable room/studio/theater.Or you could set the realizer to measure a 24 channel system, use a few 8 or 16 channel USB I/O interfaces to capture the signal in Reaper and render it out to a series of wav files of varying channel counts up to channels?

And i found out that even though the "Dolby Surr." option was off on my preset, it was still on in the PCM Audio management options and it was still upmixing with Dolby soundtracks, which is surprising as, if i understood fine, the option in PCM Audio management should apply only on PCM signals.
Since i turned it off in PCM Aud. Man. the Over Head speakers are mute when i play an Atmos soundtrack on the Netflix app.
