Apple Spatial Audio monitoring in real time from Pro Tools
Is it possible to route audio from Pro Tools to Dolby Atmos Renderer and than feed it from Renderer to Logic Pro to able to monitor Apple Spatial Audio in real time from Pro Tools session?

    Yes, you can route the channels destined for the speakers out to Logics Apple Spatial Renderer and monitor that way via a 7.1.4 monitoring track/bus. Apple Spatial doesn't have any binaural render modes, so you don't need to worry about that, although nobody really knows what Apple are doing to the binaural, but as they're deliver in their own encrypted E-AC3 5.1 channel format it would seem they are simply passing the 5.1 over their binaural and hrtf at the users end.

    A simpler alternative is probably Acustica's Sienna Sphere plugin which has all the Dolby Atmos and Apple Binaural modes. The application runs plugin or system wide. If System wide you can set it up with the Dolby Atmos Renderer and ProTools quite easily following the manual section.
