I got the chance to work with an open studio in San Diego that was learning how to incorporate the new 2021 Dolby Atmos technology into their workflow.

​

While learning about attenuation, gain balance, quantization and stereo imagery, I decided to play around with a moog they had set up on one of the work tables, cranked up the reverb, kept a wide mid register, and just started jamming out.

​

After about three minutes of dorking around, one of the peeps there said "that was pretty cool." I hadn't noticed that what I was playing was being recorded and a girl at the effects board processed a surround channel with Dolby Atmos, gave me the file on a drive, and I went home to play around with it.

I added some other channels and a basic drum track.

For the best results, and to hear the best effects from Dolby Atmos, please wear some nice headphones or earbuds.
