Note: With the release of Logic Pro v10.7, Logic now supports a fully-integrated Dolby Atmos workflow. For more information on the new features and how to use the new Dolby Atmos tools within Logic, check out the new Quick Start video and the Logic Pro section of the Knowledge Base.

While Logic Pro does not have a built-in immersive panner (7.1.2), there is a built-in surround panner than can go up to 7.1. This panner can be used to pan audio to a single 7.1.2 atmos bed, though you will be unable to access the overheads. 

To set up the 7.1 panner, in Logic, navigate to Logic Pro > Preferences > Audio > I/O Assignments. Set Surround – Show As: to 7.1 (3/4.1). Set the output assignments as follows:



Navigate to File > Project Settings > Audio > General and verify that the Surround Format is set to 7.1 (3/4.1). 

To add the 7.1 panner to a track, set the output of that track to Output > Surround. Note that you will not be able to use the surround panner for Objects, which will still use the Dolby Atmos Music Panner and corresponding Mono/Stereo audio outputs.

In order to create an immersive mix that utilizes the full capabilities of Dolby Atmos, including the overhead channels, it is recommended that you utilize a primarily object-based workflow.
