Mixing Music | Music Production, Audio Engineering, & Music Business Grammy-Nominated Atmos Mixer Explains Immersive Mixing
In Episode 365 of the Mixing Music Podcast, Dee Kei and James sit down with mixing engineer Andrew Law to talk about immersive audio, Dolby Atmos, and how Andrew built a career around spatial mixing. He shares how his path took him from traditional recording work into TV, film, podcasting, Amazon Music, and eventually Grammy-nominated Atmos mixing.
The conversation breaks down what actually makes a strong Atmos mix, how Andrew approaches beds, objects, binaural settings, and playback, and why hearing Atmos on a real speaker system can completely change how artists feel about the format. He also explains practical ways beginners can start learning Atmos without a full room build, along with thoughts on workflow, clients, and where immersive audio may be headed next.
Along the way, Andrew also talks about career pivots, working both freelance and in-house, networking, and how his unusual background, from sports to studio life, shaped the way he navigates the music industry. This is a great episode for anyone curious about Atmos, spatial audio, and the evolving future of mixing.
