MIXING WITH DOLBY ATMOS

I am back in the studio at Across The Road where we are well into the world of immersive audio with Dolby Atmos mixing! Over the past year, we have been in the process of adding software and setting up our control room with a 7.1.4 speaker configuration. 7 speakers in surround, 1 sub speaker, and 4 speakers in the ceiling. This has been quite a journey! It reminds me of the early days of 5.1 surround mixing when I remixed a few tracks on Al Green with Oliver Warren and Dennis Cupp in Memphis....only this process is so much more! Some exciting new releases will soon be on the market. If you have not checked it out, go to the “ATMOS” section on this site for more information. Thanks to Dolby for our newly Dolby Atmos Certification! If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. Happy listening, Danny!

Dolby Atmos is a surround sound technology developed by Dolby Laboratories. It expands on existing surround sound systems by adding height channels, allowing sounds to be interpreted as three-dimensional objects.[1] Following the release of Atmos for the cinema market, a variety of consumer technologies have been released under the Atmos brand, using in-ceiling and up-firing speakers.

Engineering/MIXING

I’ve worked recording and mixing projects in Memphis, L.A., New York, New Orleans, Minneapolis, Muscle Shoals and Houston (to name a few). Now with current technology, I mix most everything in a great studio (Across the Road LLC) 20 minutes from my home in Texas. No planes, no hotels, no travel days!

I also mix Front Of House for the Jazz Stage at the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival (ok, hotel and planes are involved), and mix the concert audio for the TV department at the Houston Rodeo. In the past I have mixed audio for WKNO (PBS Memphis) and concert music mix for WHBQ’s “Good Morning Memphis” live from Handy Park (FOX TV).

My recordings have not only charted in the US (national, regional, Spotify, YouTube, etc.), but also internationally including Australia, UK, Germany, Canada, France, Italy and Holland. Genres include Blues, R&B, Pop, Jazz, Rock, Americana, Country, Gospel/Christian.

Just send contiguous wav files. Mixes for video, streaming, downloading, cds, vinyl. Questions? Email or text or call. Let’s talk!
