288 - Mixing Maroon 5 Live in Dolby Atmos, with Vince Casamatta

Front of house mixer Vince Casamatta joins us to discuss how he helped transform Maroon 5’s residency at Dolby Live at Park MGM in Las Vegas into a powerful live Dolby Atmos® experience. He reflects on everything from pre-production to the subtle live spatial decisions that make the technology disappear behind the music, always in service of the songs and the emotional impact of the show.

“The format has to serve the art and not the other way around. And I think we were really able to do that by making movements and making decisions that maybe audience members didn't even know were happening, but on a subconscious level, they felt it.”

—Vince Casamatta, FOH Mix Engineer, Maroon 5
