“This is an exciting lineup of both artists and engineers,” said Mix co-editor Tom Kenny. “All our ‘Breaking It Down’ sessions will be played back in Atmos, with the mix engineers right there, sharing insights, techniques, anecdotes and more. It’s going to be a good day!”

Each Breaking It Down session will begin with Dolby Atmos playback in 21fifteen Studios’ 13.1.10 Performance Stage, followed by a 20-minute, one-on-one discussion with the immersive mix engineer.

The Mix Panel Series serves as the foundation of the all-day event, which also includes sponsor demonstrations and listening sessions throughout the five-studio complex. The Keynote Conversation and expert panels will take place in the facility’s new 13.1.10 Dolby Atmos Performance Stage.

Industry sponsors, meanwhile, will occupy the studio spaces throughout the facility and provide technology demonstrations and listening sessions featuring top engineers, artists and producers.
