Excellent. Are you allowed to give us some examples of your body of work; and perhaps a few bits here and there about you mixing philosophy?I'm a professional Immersive mixer who wants to see some good feedback on mixes from outside of the industry.

Welcome!Excellent. Are you allowed to give us some examples of your body of work; and perhaps a few bits here and there about you mixing philosophy?
Here's a few off the top of my head.I think I'll ease into Doxing myself. I'm not really looking for comments on my mixes; more a general sense of what is liked and not liked.
Thanks!

Nice to have you here! JI'm a professional Immersive mixer who wants to see some good feedback on mixes from outside of the industry.
Ok, listened to a few of these; Listening on Apple Music, 7.1.4 speaker layout in studio. IMHO.Here's a few off the top of my head.

love that Spoon record. I've become a big fan of Jim Eno's stereo mixing, and this was his first foray into Atmos, I believe. Great job...INXS Kick would go on my "missed opportunity" list too, but I think Moondance sounds great - no complaints about the vocal sounding 'hollow' here (and it's not just in the center, the signal also hits the side and wide speakers).
Some favorites not mentioned yet:
- Grateful Dead - American Beauty
- Yes - The Yes Album
- Joni Mitchell - The Hissing of Summer Lawns
- Spoon - Lucifer on the Sofa
- Tori Amos - Ocean To Ocean
- The Church - The Hypnogogue
- St Vincent - Daddy's Home
- Suede - Suede
- Tom Petty & The Heartbreakers - Greatest Hits
- Madeleine Peyroux - Let's Walk
- Bruce Soord - Luminescence

Moondance, vocal in the center sounds very hollow. INSX Kick lost all the punch and is hollow.
Pink Floyd - Animals not available in Atmos on Apple. DSOTM - I mean, how can you go wrong on that. So much material to move around. Great!
Hackney Diamonds - Not sure that the balances line up to the stereo mixes, but nice use of the space.

Yes this is a pretty good one I think. A few technical issues for me personally. I'd like them to have taken some of the hiss out of the rear speakers. Yes it is there in the stereo mix, but those things build up in the breakout to surround.Welcome in!
Being one here that still only has a 5.1 system, I won't make too many offerings; however many of us have been listening to and enjoying the Atmos mixes via Apple on their 5.1 systems.
Lots of opinions on this thread-

But one I always liked a lot (music & mix, with mix appropriateness to the style/genre is a big factor IMO) is this Willie Nelson title.
Would appreciate your opinion of this one if you don't mind.
Thanks!I do try to remain faithful to the stereo mix, but some added problems crop up in Atmos, which I will fix. One is hiss; it may be there in the stereo mix, but it tends to accumulate more in Atmos because we are building up the number of pathways that are adding hiss in the mix. I'll take it out in the added channels, leaving it in the front as it was in the stereo mix. I'll also be more careful about clicks and pops because they stick out more in surround than in stereo. Timing issues I would likely leave in; hard to tell if that is an artistic choice or not. If it is in the stereo, I'd not correct it in Atmos.
There have been a few occasions where I have done things to Improve bad mixes when I do the Atmos. It is rare, but sometimes you just can't help yourself!
I can give you my personal feelings but I do believe they are reflected in the feelings of many here. Whatever the number of channels used, I enjoy hearing them used for discreet positioning of the many instruments etc in the mix and not just as a way to add a lot of ambiance. It is the type of mix that many from the "2ch forever" world point out as being gimmicky but this allows us to hear much deeper into the mix and separate the individual musical parts. Immerse me in the artistry of the music in the way Michelangelo and the other great artists immerse us in their painting, sculptures, etc; artwork at the Sistine chapel and other places in Rome. These genius's understood what it meant to make the viewer part of the art itself.I'm a professional Immersive mixer who wants to see some good feedback on mixes from outside of the industry.
