Dolby Atmos in Higher Education

Thursday October 10, 2024 10:15am - 11:30am EDT

1E09

Dolby Atmos has been the delivery format of choice for visual media since 2012. But with the adoption of Dolby Atmos for Music by streaming platforms such as Apple Music, Tidal, and Amazon, along with easily accessible tools for creation, the demand for content has exploded. However, the transition to multichannel and object-based production comes with increased complexity, and familiar stereo recording and mixing techniques do not necessarily work in the immersive space requiring the development of new recording and mixing methodologies, software, and hardware. It is clear that immersive audio has become an essential part of an audio engineer’s tool set. Both experienced and novice engineers must be educated in the technology and techniques to create and deliver immersive audio content.

This panel of educators will discuss their approach to teaching Dolby Atmos, the challenge of creating a curriculum in this rapidly-changing field, the role of research, and how the study of immersive audio formats fit into the study of audio.

Mastering for music in stereo in 2024. What are the real objectives of this discipline today? What are the axioms of this practice? And what is a typical modern processing chain made of? When and why do I need to do A/B comparisons? What does QC stand for? What types of processors are normally used and how? When and how to apply dither to a music program? What format and resolution should the mastering engineer work at? At which format and resolution should the mixing engineer deliver the final work? How loud should the final mixes be and why doesn't it really matter? These and other issues will be addressed in this tutorial.
