Thanks to an illustrious career spanning more than three decades of engineering and mixing both studio and live sound, Grammy-nominated recording engineer Steve Genewick immediately understood with the debut of Dolby Atmos that this was the future of music. In fact, so did Maurice Patist, President of Sales and Marketing at PMC. Together, alongside multi-Grammy Award-winning producer and engineer David Rideau, they remixed the legendary works of Miles Davis - 1959’s Kind of Blue and 1960’s Sketches of Spain - in Dolby Atmos. As Steve and Maurice's partnership has continued to evolve, so has the sonic landscape of Dolby Atmos, traversing unmapped territory and carving out new aural vistas. But where does it all go from here? Sweetwater caught up with Steve and Maurice for an in-depth discussion of their history, future of sound, and how Dolby Atmos will get us there. Check it out!

Thank you for featuring Steve Genewick.I have an 11.2 Onkyo/Klipsch Dolby ATMOS setup in my family room. The problem is how many consumers are going to spend $8-10K to listen to accurate Atmos playback? I talked to Discmakers,and was told in order to produce my music in Dolby Atmos I couldn't produce a cd,it had to be a Blu-Ray. Even if people are streaming Atmos encoded content, they're not going to have the equipment to play it back. You can't listen to ATMOS on a stereo or on headphones. There's no way you can replicate overhead movement,or movement from right front to left rear without the equipment.I sincerely believe we're going to lose our shirts producing ATMOS encoded music when 99.9% of consumers won't have the necessary equipment to listen to ATMOS encoded music.

Absolutely the future of audio and the best thing that has happened for Music since Stereo!

Having built my Atmos studio in 9.1.6 i believe Atmos is the future of music :) However i do believe that streaming platforms like Apple need to play fair and it be a level playing field :( By this i mean that major artists should not get to exceed the -18LUF rule which they are at the moment :( I have seen -14LUF on some major artists where independent artist like myself are making mixes at -18luf ... I think this will drive people away form Atmos if it continues

[@masterofreality230]

I dont think everyone is going to adopt atmos.

[@BubbaSatori]

That’s ok. It’s not for everybody. The big question is will it be for enough people to have a successful future?

Someone couldn't de-ess Maurice's voice better than this? That whistling is crazy! Come on

[@jbaranowski1990]

Atmos is good for movies but for music is just a mistake.

[@helenat8826]

Wrong. It greatly expands instruments. But then I really enjoy Quad n 5.1 mixes also

It's interesting to reflect on how attitudes towards new technologies and innovations can change over time. The idea that sound was initially seen as a mistake in movies is indeed reminiscent of early reactions to innovations in various forms of media.
When "talkies" (movies with synchronized sound) were first introduced in the late 1920s, there were critics who believed that it was a passing fad or that it would ruin the art of silent film. It's often the case that people resist change or new ideas, particularly in creative fields where established norms and expectations exist.
However, history has shown that embracing new technologies and approaches can lead to incredible advancements in the arts and entertainment. Sound in movies, for example, added a new dimension to storytelling and allowed for more immersive and emotionally resonant experiences. Today, we can't imagine movies without sound, and sound design has become a critical element of filmmaking.
This example illustrates the importance of being open to new ideas and technologies, even in the face of skepticism. Many breakthroughs and innovations were initially met with resistance, but they ultimately contributed to the evolution and improvement of their respective fields. So, it's a good reminder that progress often comes from challenging the status quo and listening to those who are willing to embrace change.
