Building a Dolby Atmos-certified mixing room is no easy feat. There are major obstacles to overcome, but this was unique.

The client wanted Dolby Atmos to be a part of the entire production process, from recording to mastering.

So when a major post production company asked us to come up with a plan for more than twenty Atmos mixing rooms, editing bays, viewing rooms, and server rooms in a single facility, we knew it would be more important than ever to think outside the box and come up with unique, hand-tailored integration plans. Starting today, we’re going to walk you through the process.
