In this video I'm having a conversation about Dolby Atmos with LA based mix engineer, Alvin Wee. Alvin has worked on a variety of film soundtracks, most notably he mixed the Grammy, Billboard and Oscar winning soundtrack for Disney's Encanto. He creates Dolby Atmos mixes for all the soundtracks he works on. He also mixed the song Miracle by Natasha Humera Ejaz in Atmos. In this video we discuss his approach to mixing and all things Dolby Atmos.
