Digital Media Expert Reacts: Colt Capperrune's First Atmos Mix Video

In this video, I react to Colt Capperrune's latest post about his first Dolby Atmos mix in his new studio. As a longtime fan of Colt's channel, I share my insights on his experiences and discuss important aspects of Dolby Atmos production. We delve into topics such as the use of the size control in the Atmos panner, reverb placement, and the challenges of speaker positioning in an Atmos setup.

A major focus is on how studio listening differs from the consumer experience, particularly regarding headphone playback. I emphasize the importance of optimizing for headphones, as most listeners will experience Atmos this way. Additionally, I discuss various reverb plugins, workflow techniques, and the creation of quality control deliverables for Dolby Atmos. In conclusion, I underscore the importance of taking advice only from trustworthy sources and explain my role as a technology educator rather than a mixing expert.
