Interview with Mixing & Mastering Engineer Michael Romanowski

[humprof]

In the June 2023 Sound on Sound. (Only a portion of the article is available for free right now.) Romanowski is primarily a mastering engineer, though he mixed Fantastic Negrito's Have You Lost Your Mind Yet? for Atmos--an early mix that I'd love to hear in high-res. His name is also on Lyle Lovett's 12th of June, though it's not clear to me if that credit is for mixing or mastering.

So great that he's in IAA's corner! (And that he can concisely articulate the advantages of Atmos in a TrueHD MKV container--he's helping you write your elevator pitch to labels!)

Love your discussions of Spatial Audio for Headphones and of LFE and (especially) center channels. And thanks for asking about MPEG-H.

Is the "Horse With No Name" mix that he did with Eric Schilling the one that's on the streaming services?

Finally, props to Fantastic Negrito: "I already have the stereo. Why would I want it to sound like that with all these speakers around me?" I'd like to see that album at IAA, please....

I didn't even realize there was an Atmos mix of this streaming? Can't seem to find it now...

Huh. Maybe I'm misremembering?

Yes, there was (and a nice one). I'll check tomorrow if it's still there in Apple Music.
What I can't remember is if took a backup, need to check that as well (Edit: yes, I do have the backup)

I had a look, not find at this moment. A Horse with no Name was my first single, I am very interested in a Dolby Atmos mix, who helps?
