7.1-Atmos Dadman i/o config please help!!

[DHARTMUSIC]

Can someone please layout the proper i/o setting for an atmos session with 7.1 beds?? I don't know why I'm struggling with this so much. I thought I had it worked (in 5.1), but then going to 7.1 it's off. The SMPTE vs FILM channel order is the issue. So what is the trick?
I'm using MTRX Studio outputs 1-8 for speakers in my room, SMPTE order, and 9-10 for Stereo/Bin output.

I know the Atmos renderer wants SMPTE order, yes? (Using PT internal renderer)

PT output i/o should be which? SMPTE of FILM?
PT buss i/o should be which? SMPTE or FILM?
DADman monitor profile inputs and outputs need to be?
I just need SMPTE order hitting my outputs (Digilink 1-8)
I'm losing my mind!
Thank you anyone who can clarify!

Greetings,

For Inputs and Outputs in Pro Tools you can choose the path order for each channel format. See attachment.

Internal busses, Tracks and Meters in Pro Tools are always in FILM order. Just make sure whatever you pick you correlate Pro Tools with your DADman group formats. I prefer SMPTE for everything since I always want 1-2 to default to LR regardless.

Update. Got it worked out. Just needed to take a break and come back to it.

Hah. Jeff Komar beat me to it! What he said is what I do here and it's really the best for simplifying everything.
