“All three soundtracks were re-mastered in a 7.1.4-configured mixing room,” Hoogenakker explains, “which involved taking the original Pro Tools sessions, with the horizontal beds plus Atmos objects, and selecting what I wanted to place in the 7.1-channel horizontal mix and what I wanted to put up into the four overhead or height speakers. To find out more about the Atmos Home re-mastering process, we spoke with Tim Hoogenakker who, separate from his day job as a re-recording mixer at Formosa Santa Monica (the former POP Sound location) where he works on a number of feature film and music projects, has been handling an increasing number of Blu-ray disc releases, including John Wick, Expendables 3 Unrated and Step Up: All In, plus others to come.
And most current-generation Blu-ray players will support Dolby Atmos content via HDMI outputs to a suitable AV receiver equipped with embedded Atmos decoders. While the consumer format involves fewer playback speakers than the theatrical format, Home Atmos can convey an added sense of reality for home viewers. All of that is to change with the availability of Atmos-capable receivers from a number of leading vendors, including Denon, Marantz, Onya, Yamaha and Pioneer, and an offering of new Blu-ray discs with Atmos soundtracks. There is no denying that Dolby Atmos immersive soundtracks have added an extra allure for cinema audiences - as evidenced by the enhanced success of action movies at the box office - but, until very recently, it was an experience reserved for your local multiplex.
