Dolby Atmos certified mixing & mastering
for music, film, and games!
We're not going back to mono...
My Services
I only offer two services: mixing and mastering in immersive audio. This is because immersive audio formats are now a specialty service due to the high demand for the music, post-production, and gaming worlds to update their existing catalogs, as well as future-proof their content.
What Is Dolby Atmos?
Dolby Atmos is an immersive audio format invented in 2012 by Dolby Laboratories. It allows for the addition of “height” channels, immersing you in a three-dimensional sphere of sound. In recent years, it has become the defacto standard in home theaters, phones, soundbars, and now in your car. Streaming services such as Apple Music, Tidal, and Amazon HD are the latest to adopt this format for music.
Why Immersive Audio?
It’s the future. Period. If you are not considering updating your music, post-production, or gaming audio catalogs to an immersive format, you will be left behind.
