5 Reasons to Upgrade to the Genesys G3D for Dolby Atmos
–
Dolby Atmos is changing the way music and sound are made – and the Neve Genesys G3D console upgrade gives Genesys users the tools to mix in full 3D without leaving the desk. In our latest film with composer and mixer Carlos Rodgarman, we talked about why the G3D system is the best way to step into immersive mixing, with no compromise on sound or workflow.

The Neve G3D allows for Dolby Atmos mixing directly from the console surface
1. Dolby Atmos Is Here to Stay
With Apple Music, Tidal, Netflix and Amazon all supporting Dolby Atmos, immersive audio has gone mainstream. Whether you’re working on records, soundtracks or sync, Dolby Atmos is quickly becoming a standard delivery format.
“Atmos has opened up a new market for me… It’s changed everything.”
2. Mix Directly from the Console
The Neve Genesys G3D is the world’s first object-based analogue console system. You can control up to 118 objects directly from the Genesys surface, automate via the touchscreen or touch encoders, and mix Dolby Atmos in real time – just like you would with a stereo mix:
“I can do both mixes at the same time… stereo and Atmos. That saves hours,”
Grammy-nominted Carlos Rodgarman has future-proofed his LA studio and opened up new markets with the Neve G3D
3. No More Stems or Print Passes
Traditional hybrid Dolby Atmos workflows often rely on exporting stems, bouncing passes, and revisiting old sessions. With Genesys G3D, you can make changes once and hear them in both stereo and Dolby Atmos mixes simultaneously – saving time and reducing risk of error.
“There are no more missed tweaks or hours spent redoing things. It all just happens together.”
4. Smooth Recall and DAW Integration
The Genesys G3D system is tightly integrated with your DAW. Plugin-based automation lets you draw object movement right into your session, while the console maintains its full analogue character. You can also recall sessions easily using onboard software.
For Carlos, it’s the best of both worlds.
“It’s the speed and flexibility of a DAW, with the tone of an analogue console.”
5. The Legendary Neve Sound
Upgrading to Genesys G3D doesn’t change the heart of what makes a Genesys special. You still get classic Neve preamps, EQ and dynamics – with the added power of object-based mixing, all in one surface.
When asked to describe the sound of the Neve Genesys G3D, Carlos smiled and said,
“The more you add to a mix, the bigger it sounds. That’s the Neve difference.”
Thinking about the upgrade?
As immersive audio continues to grow across music, film and games, the Genesys G3D upgrade is the next logical step for Genesys owners – and for studios looking to stay ahead of the curve. By combining iconic analogue sound with modern Dolby Atmos workflows, the Genesys G3D removes the need for complex rerouting, extra controllers or out-of-the-box compromises. As Carlos highlights in our recent video, it’s now possible to mix stereo and Dolby Atmos together, with full recall, full resolution, and full Neve character. It’s all in the desk – no workarounds needed.
