Hello!
My name is Poli. I'm a songwriter/guitarist/producer and Dolby Atmos mix engineer. These days we have to wear many hats!! I have just completed a full Atmos mix of my band The Echo Veils and our album The Calm Beneath the Noise. I have 7.1.4 setup in my studio located in Toronto working mainly in Pro Tools. Our album is now live on the various streaming platforms. Thank you for the opportunity of being part of this community! Cheers!

Welcome @Poli Elizondo

I've started listening "Calm Beneath The Noise" and I like it both for the style of music and the Atmos mix.

I have pleasantly noticed that even if you have a 7.1.4 system to mix in Atmos, you use Objects in the Wide locations, as I have verified in my Home Cinema Living Room with 9.1.4 (with Wides). This satisfies me because, in general, I tend to like and think mixes that use Objects in Wide locations are good. In addition, I feel my effort and investment in 9.1.4 is amortized when I find mixes that use them properly.

Never heard about The Echo Veils. This is an interesting addition to my favorite style band list.

I also 2nd, @Poli Elizondo , the desire to have your Atmos mixes in physical form, for the lossless TrueHD, or better, IAA downloads.

Thank you so much for taking a listen!! Yes, I do believe that the wides have a very important role when it comes to power guitars, opening up the drum overheads, or just making anything wider (like backing vocals). I sometimes have specific instruments in the wides and sometimes I use a 9.1.4 object bed emulation to achieve the same result. Cheers!

20? years ago, I started my multichannel collection first with SACD, DVD-A and ripping hi-rez audio from multichannel DVD concert videos (audio on some of these is very good), and then on with all of the newer formats as each one came and went (and sometimes came back). I'm really enjoying what seems to be a resurgence of interest in multichannel.

To my chagrin, and many albums later, I only recently found this site (don't know how I missed it). I've purchased too many a reissue only to be disappointed by the quality of the transfer/mix. For that reason, I find this site's reviews to be essential. As helpful as the reviews can be, the information detailing where you can purchase the music is invaluable.

I'm hoping we are finally entering a time where multichannel music goes mainstream.

Welcome to the forum. I’m assuming that you do a lot of Auromatic upmixing given the limited quantity of commercial Auro 3D recordings. I’m jealous of anyone who has a Trinnov unit. Your system must give you an outstanding listening experience.

Welcome to the forum. Clearly, Steven Wilson is your friend! Along those lines, “Fragile” by Yes in Dolby Atmos is almost certain to become #58 for you! You would also do well to check out the SDE Blu Ray series. As you can see, we’re all more than happy to assist you in spending your money!

Sounds like you have great hardware. I don’t know that I could hear the difference (my ears aren’t what they used to be), but I’m sure you enjoy it, and that’s what matters.

Welcome to the money pit!

Thanks guys. Yes my wallet is already feeling the pinch! Discovered the IAA shop the other day thanks to this forum

Steven Wilson is indeed a significant musical crush
