The superb Amber Run with an acoustic performance of ‘I Found’
Jan 15, 2019
Created through collaboration with Dean St Studios, Veale Associates, Dolby and PMC speakers, our reference-level, statement Atmos music is the first of its kind in the UK. Made up of PMC’s flagship IB2S XBD-A active monitors covering left, centre and right main channels, discrete wafers for the surround and heights, and four sub2 subwoofers fulfilling the LFE. Due to its almost limitless headroom, power capabilities, pin-point accuracy and sonic fidelity our Atmos music suite is now recognised by Dolby, Universal Music Group and others as the template for Dolby Atmos Music mixing.
By designing a monitoring system that goes above and beyond the standard Dolby requirements, and coupled with PMC’s renowned Advance Transmission Line (ATL) technology, we have created a system for Dolby Atmos Music creation that delivers audio at a higher calibre to others before it and are able to respectfully, and easily, reproduce all genres of music consistently at all levels.
With over 20 years of experience, Jan ‘Stan’ Kybert has worked with the greats to mix, engineer and produce music that combines experience, experimentalism and intuition. As engineer to Mark ‘Spike’ Stent, Kybert worked with the likes of Björk, Massive Attack and Oasis, including on their 2000 album Standing On The Shoulders of Giants.
At Wheeler End Studio whilst working as Oasis’ inhouse engineer, Kybert was introduced to Paul Weller and has gone on to engineer and co-produce every one of Weller’s albums, including the most recent Official UK number 1 album Fat Pop. From New Order and The Prodigy to Unkle and The Draytones, Kybert has employed his deep understanding and respect for sound to deliver inspired production and mixes that transcend genre.
As creative director and head Atmos Music mixer, Kybert now leads the UK’s immersive sound technology revolution representing Dean St Studios and Auraferix in changing the way people experience music forever. It is through his care and attention that Auraferix has become the immersive sound creators of choice for some of the world’s top creators including The Foo Fighters, Bastille and Fraser T Smith.
All of our mixes meet the highest quality control standards and comply with industry guidelines.
Where needed we ensure tracks are appropriately pre-mixed. Pre-mixing is to prepare the supplied audio files for Atmos and is an important stage of the process. All mixes include 1 hour of pre-mixing.
All mixes will contain an Atmos, 7.1, 5.1 & binaural headphone version which meet loudness requirements of -18LUFS as recommended by Dolby and UMG.
Once the mix is completed, we will provide you with an Atmos master ADM file for delivery to Amazon Music, Apple Music and Tidal for encoding.
