Dolby Atmos Mixing: Spatial Audio Explained

Dolby Atmos Mixing: Spatial Audio Explained

The first time I heard a properly mixed Dolby Atmos object moving through the full 3D space of a calibrated mixing stage, it changed my understanding of what audio could do. A helicopter sound started above my right shoulder, descended in a spiral arc, passed through the listening position at ear le

Binaural Recording: 3D Sound for Headphones

Binaural Recording: 3D Sound for Headphones

The first time I experienced a properly executed binaural recording, I was sitting at my desk with a pair of Sennheiser HD 650 headphones, and a voice whispered from behind my right shoulder, walked in front of me, and stopped to my left. I turned my head. The sound didn't move -- it stayed exactly

Spatial Audio: Beyond Stereo Into 3D Sound (2026)

Spatial Audio: Beyond Stereo Into 3D Sound (2026)

Stereo has been the dominant audio format for nearly 70 years. Two channels, left and right, creating the illusion of width through amplitude and timing differences. It's a remarkable illusion -- a well-mixed stereo recording can place sounds anywhere along a horizontal arc in front of the listener

Interactive Audio Design: Sound That Listens Back

Interactive Audio Design: Sound That Listens Back

Linear audio tells a story that the audience receives. Interactive audio creates a system that responds to the audience's actions and tells a different story each time. The difference is not subtle -- it's fundamental. When I moved from film sound design to interactive audio systems for spatial inst

Field Recording: Capture Real-World Sounds for Creatives

Field Recording: Capture Real-World Sounds for Creatives

I recorded the sound of a glacier calving in Iceland at 4 AM in March. The temperature was minus 12 degrees Celsius, the wind was gusting at 35 kilometers per hour, and I was lying on my stomach on a sheet of sea ice with a pair of DPA 4017 shotgun microphones pointed at a glacier face that was acti

Procedural Audio: Sound Generation via Algorithms

Procedural Audio: Sound Generation via Algorithms

Every sound in a traditional game or interactive application is a recording -- a sample captured at a specific moment, stored as a file, and played back when triggered. This approach works well until the number of variations needed exceeds what's practical to record and store. Footsteps on 50 differ

Wwise Game Audio: Interactive Soundscapes (2026)

Wwise Game Audio: Interactive Soundscapes (2026)

The difference between linear audio and game audio is the difference between a painting and a sculpture. In a painting, the artist controls exactly what the viewer sees, in what order, from what angle. In a sculpture, the viewer walks around it, sees different faces at different times, and creates t

ADR Workflow: Replacing Dialogue Without Losing Performance

ADR Workflow: Replacing Dialogue Without Losing Performance

Automatic Dialogue Replacement -- ADR, also called looping -- is the process of re-recording dialogue in a controlled studio environment to replace production audio that is unusable due to noise, technical issues, or creative changes. Approximately 30% of dialogue in modern feature films and televis

Foley Recording: The Art of Making Fake Sounds Feel Real

Foley Recording: The Art of Making Fake Sounds Feel Real

I still remember the first time I watched a Foley artist perform. She was barefoot in a room filled with dirt, gravel, broken glass, and fabric samples, watching a screen and stepping in perfect sync with an actress who was wearing completely different shoes on a completely different surface. The sy

Film Sound Design: Building Worlds Through What You Hear

Film Sound Design: Building Worlds Through What You Hear

The first time I sat in a dubbing stage at Dolby Laboratories in San Francisco, the silence itself was the loudest thing I'd ever heard. The noise floor of that Stage A measures below NC-15 -- roughly 20 dBA -- which means you can hear the blood rushing through your own ears. That room is where film
